Narration:
In short order, the trio makes their way inside. The landlord's office is clearly marked, and a dour old woman hands over a copy of the key after Ruby presents her credentials as a Museum official. There are guttaral noises emanating from the woman the whole time, words made coarse from too many years chain smoking in front of a television. The sounds scrape like cardboard on cement, bemoaning the loss of a tenant, the state of social security, and colored presidents.
Making their way to the room, Ruby unlocks the door, and sees the immaculate quarters Theo kept.
On the dining room table is a vase of dead flowers.
