Cora’s eyes bugged out of her head. “You’ve got to be kidding me!”

“I’m not.”

“Where did this come from?”

“I told you. The woman gave it to me. She found it under her door.”

“So she gave it to you?”

“Well, she wasn’t going to, but I asked her if anything peculiar had happened lately.”

“And she whipped out a crossword puzzle?” Cora said sarcastically.

“Actually, she mentioned the blackmail. Which would have been my first choice. But I’m a cop. Just because I get an answer doesn’t mean I stop asking the question. I asked her if she’d heard from the blackmailer again; she said she hadn’t. I asked her if there’d been a note; she said there wasn’t. I asked her if anything else peculiar had happened; she said yes, but it wasn’t a note. And she gave me this.” Crowley looked at her. “Now, if you’ve used up all your arguments for why she shouldn’t have got it or why she shouldn’t have given it to me, you wannna discuss the puzzle itself?”

“You know I can’t solve it.”

“I’m not talking about solving it. Why do you think she got it?”

“I have no idea.”

“Me neither. But it certainly cements your connection to this woman.”

“Maybe that’s the point.”

“How can that be the point?”

“I don’t know, but you start making assumptions. I’m going to make some, too.”

“Fine. You wanna make something about this?”

Crowley pulled out a sudoku.
