Part 125: Frank Raver

Michael McGrath's son

Did I bold that right? Good.

Michael McGrath's son. He told me about a man who'd crept into the manager's office and...
I see.

Music: Resolution


I want you to tell me about the safecracker who was killed here 25 years ago.
Tell me everything you know.
...
Come on, Frank, you just told me... You said that this person had gotten involved in the case you were working on.



Tell me...



Did you help him get in?

Did you help him get in?
Yes, I did.
So you and this safecracker knew each other beforehand, then?
No, we didn't.
Gregory was there thanks to the information he got from a contact I often used.
Gregory? Who's Gregory?
That's the name his associates used for him, at least.
I seriously doubt it was his real name, just something he used while working.
Gregory was a safecracker who'd never been arrested and was well-known in the field. He was also knowledgeable on Condor.
I figured I could use a person like that in my plans.



However...



But Hugh Speck put an end to all that.
How did Hugh Speck put an end to your plan 25 years ago?
What did he do? Well, he...
Tell me the whole story.



Let me guess. Hugh Speck...



Told Condor about your plan

Hugh Speck told Condor about your plan.
That's right.
And that was also why Gregory was silenced.



Frank...
What?
Enough beating around the bush.
Excuse me?
I need you to tell me exactly what you were planning to do 25 years ago. All of it.
What do you mean?
I thought I made that clear from the start. What I need to know is precisely what happened with the safecracker 25 years ago.
You know the truth behind the death that occurred that night and you're gonna tell me.
You win, Mr Hyde, I'll tell you what you need to know.
But on one condition...
I'm listening...



What the hell's that supposed to mean?
Well, I would have thought an ex-detective like yourself would have known.
It's time you demonstrated to me exactly how much you want to hear the truth. If you expect to get anything out of me, you're going to have to work for it. If you choose your questions well, I'll talk. I'll tell you everything you want to know.
But if you aren't able to ask the right questions, our little chat stops here.
You've got yourself a deal.

Music: Sharpened Blade


What kind of agreement did you have?

What was your plan 25 years ago?

What was it that happened to you?
