She looked exactly like Murphy. Well, as much as a tall, stonefaced brunette can look exactly like a tiny cute blonde, but you know what I mean.

Besides, it was the expression that really did it. The “I know you’ve done something and I’ll make you suffer if you don’t tell me of your own free will” expression. That, and the cop stance, the wide-legged, “do you feel lucky punk” stance. You know what I’m talking about.

The crossbow pointed at my nose was, admittedly, new.

But she really looked exactly like Murphy.

Which meant that I was so screwed.
