When he attempts to interview the police officers involved, they refuse to speak to him. Forced to investigate the case on his own, DeMarco travels to every corner of the City trying to discover what actually happened. After visiting the City morgue, D.C. General Hospital, and the Lorton Reformatory, DeMarco discovers that the reason that the police won’t talk is that the Mayor of the District of Columbia may be involved in the shooting.
