August 19th, The Black Gallows, Evening

Edward stood over the body of David Corbert. The post mortem had been clear, repeated blunt traumer to the head and torso compounded by heart failure. As far as the state was concerned David's body was nothing but ash, a clerical error. He regretted the lack of honesty with Stella but she was not a stupid woman and this was the only way for her to move on from this experience unscathed. Could it be that he had found a kindred spirit in her? If she were capable of this then perhaps...

He pushed the thought away and stared down at David. He had asked few questions before leaving Stella and had promised to return within the next few days to continue their talk. He looked forward to several such visits in the coming weeks.

There came a knock at the door, "come in." He ordered covering the body with a white sheet.

One of his hulking black clad minders stepped into the room and handed him a note. Oh very good the Montclaireboy was beside himself with rage and the warrant for his father's arrest had been approved by the council. All in all a good days work.
