                “Good morning, Frank.”

                “Morning, John.”

                Then he passed by a tall thin man in a flamboyant pink suit.

                “Good morning, Big Dad E.”

                “Morning, John.”

                John turned the corner, and several shots rang out.

                The crime scene cop led Detective Disco and Detective Hogan to the crime scene.

                “Hey, I’m the crime scene cop and my purpose here is to walk you through the crime scene,” said the crime scene cop.

                “Dead body, his name’s John.”
