After eavesdropping in on the morning editorial meeting, James learns he has his first-ever story. There's one catch. If the story gets too complicated, it will be taken away from him and given to another journalist with more experience. Sure, it's a boring interview with the soon-to-be sworn-in magistrate, Albert Harrington, but it finally gets him out of his six-month slump as an editorial research assistant.

He finally has a chance to prove himself. The following day, James turns up to his interview with Albert to discover a trail of blood smeared through Albert's house, an empty safe, the murder weapon on the floor, but no body.
