K+murder+at+the+cathedra



In this chapter Ed has a gun with one bullet in it. He has realised that the bullet belongs in the man, if you could call him that, who lives in Edgar Street. Ed has formulated a plan. He knows where the man is going to be as he has been following him in the previous chapters. Ed picks the man up from his regular bar well after midnight in his taxi. He drugs the man with a spiked drink and drives him to the back of town where there is a dirt road that leads to a drop off known as 'the Cathedral'. Ed walks the man out to the edge of the cliff and shoots him. Ed knows the wound is not fatal and he leaves the man there to make his own way back. This completes his tasks set for the Ace of Diamonds.
