“That’s a long way down,” Ryo said, peering through the office window at the street, far below, where people scurried back and forth like ants.
 

Joining his partner, Dee looked down too. “That’s why buildings like this don’t have openin’ windows. Too easy for someone to lean out while takin’ a crafty smoke and accidentally fall out. Or, you know, not so accidentally. Pressures of the job and all that.”

 
“Have you done that? Leaned out a window to smoke instead of going outside?”
 

“Time or two, but never anywhere higher than the second floor, and never far enough to risk fallin’. I value my bod too much to take dumb risks like that. It’s why I quit smokin’. Not the fallin’ outta windows thing, but ‘cause it’s unhealthy.” Dee pushed away from the window to look back at the large bloodstain on the carpet. “Welp, one thing’s for sure: if the victim died, the body wasn’t tossed outta the window.”

 
“Probably not the best way of disposing of a body from up here anyway. Would’ve made one hell of a mess on the street.”
 

“No body though,” Dee pointed out. “You thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’?”
 

Ryo nodded. “Garbage chute.”

Oh, nice!

Let's hope the body, if it did go in there, didn't get stuck partway...

Thank you!

No kidding. Dead bodies get smelly! And getting it free could be quite the challenge!

Especially since it's a tall building and the body could be anywhere... I think I'll be kind to them and say it slid all the way down without getting stuck. *nods*
