The first time the detective came into the room, Anna nearly fainted behind the bookcase. Breathing shallowly for silence as he paced and smoked, she was almost undone in the fearful toxic atmosphere.

The detective finished the job upon his return, armed with his most deadly weaponry.

"I have solved it."

Like champagne, the poison tingled on Anna's tongue.

Thanks! I know I took the dark route again -- here's hoping something happy catches for me for this week... Oh, no, it's the Greek Interpreter! Well, so much for that! ;)

Thanks! Poor Anna didn't deserve her fate -- I felt sorry for her.
