Puzzled

“You are no doubt aware of the recent horrible deaths, and disappearances in the city?,â€? I asked.

“You are aware, Mr., I didn’t get your name son,â€? said Dr. Proto.
“Warren St. Norbert,â€? I answered.
“Mr. St. Norbert, you may not be aware, but my receptionist was murdered recently, so to answer your question, I know of the brutality surrounding us.â€?

“Yes Dr. I just wonder how much more you know,â€? I accused.
“Meaning?,â€? he asked, eyebrows raised.

“Dr., I saw those men in the graveyard. I know what they did and I know where they brought the coffin back to. To this office The body of a Man Names Basil St. Norbert. I want to know what he and what I have to do with what‘s going on, and I think you have the answers I seek,â€? I said.

“What are you accusing me of Mr. Norbert?, grave robbery, murder, out with it son, I have no time for games, I am a very busy man,â€? he angrily replied.

“I have not come here with accusations Dr., on the contrary, I have come to ask for your help,â€? I said.

He looked at me puzzled.
