Klara put on a brave face, but Noseworthy could smell the fear. Within time, he was able to extract all the details...
Klara's brother suddenly incarcerated. A loan taken out for bail. No collateral, so other sources investigated. Local loan-shark and crime boss Olympus Mons all too eager to help. Klara, unable to pay the debt, is forced to stoop to favors to even the scales.
A dubious delivery-monkey with a shady satchel of bountiful boulders. Sign the sheet, allow him in, no questions asked.
A scent of lavender on the assassin....
Klara was reduced to tears by the time Noseworthy finished. But it was nothing he had not seen before. Time for a visit to the judge. A warrant was needed. A promising lead to investigate.
