DOA, Epilogue

Letter on a placemat from Fabrizio dell’Osso

Reread Chapter 8

Dear Beego,

We have received your kind letter from months ago regarding the state of our collection. The weather, the landscape, the food, the wine, the art, the architecture, the music and the people of our beautiful country are so captivating that I completely forgot about your letter until recently, when I rediscovered it in a pile of unpaid bills. You know how it is here. Ha ha!

I am both sorry and happy to inform you that we have all our bones, which is extraordinary considering the deplorable conditions of our archives and our security system! Also, we have no information about the bones you recently found in your area in a “crock-pot” of minced beef and cream cheese.

If, in the future, we can help you in your efforts to find the so-called “killer” of the “crock-pot” and to bring this culprit to justice, feel free to call or write to us.

Ciao beautiful!

FABO

Fabrizio dell’Osso, chancellor
The catacombs of Rome

N.B.: A dish of minced meat and cream cheese sounds offensive. Ha ha!
