# Page 16 from "10-Story Detective" This is a page of story prose from what appears to be a hardboiled detective magazine. The narrative follows Captain Pearson and Detective McKenna as they deal with the aftermath of an attack on a woman named Betty. The text describes McKenna's distressed reaction to learning how close Betty came to death, and shows Pearson angrily ejecting McKenna from a hotel room after discovering he'd improperly obtained tweezers (apparently used as a weapon) from the premises. The page ends with Harvey Logan, described as "slight bodied" and "blonde," entering McKenna's locked room at a police station.
