"Now look here, old man -", Eddie starts in an irritated voice, but interrupts himself. In a calmer, almost tired, tone he continues, "I don't even know your name, sir, but alright, I'll play ball." He looks around almost as if to check for competition - or pursuers? - before resuming: "Yesterday morning, a body was found in a wooded area outside of Arkham. It was missing its head and both hands. Not far from the site, another discovery was made - two heads and four hands. No second body has been found yet, at least not as of yesterday evening. The cops don't have any suspects - officially at least." Eddie carefully avoided mentioning the BOI involvement and the ticket stub lead he had been following - there was no telling where this old gomer was coming from and Eddie was in no mood to share more than necessary. "I had learned through colleagues in Providence that several mutilations had taken place here and the cops held a person in custody - and that he had confessed to some of the murders, but not all. Of course, I was on the next train down here."
With a smile and somewhat more warmth in his voice, Eddie concluded, "Now, if we are in a sharing mood, do you mind telling me why we're at Timothy's place?"
