county m. e. does an autopsy on anyone who dies in custody. i don't know if you knew that. it's routine.
doesn't become a matter of public record unless there's foul play. however. i don't believe i'm *prohibited* from telling you this. i guess i'm not obliged to tell you, either. i don't exactly know. but if *i* were the man, i'd want to be told.
i, uh.  thanks.
i'm sorry to add to your burden, crane, but i'd want to know it it was me. your wife was pregnant. first trimester.

i'm sorry.
hell, i hope i've done the right thing.

i'm sorry. well, there it is.
good luck, crane.
