Hired
by Eleanor
Norris'
real sister, Horace Slash
is a private detective
who is looking for her. Following
a newspaper article on
the Last resort agency
(where the team is photographed),
he shows up at Cruz
Castillo to discuss with
the one who pretends to
be Eleanor Norris.
The
explanations given by the
young woman fail to convince
him : the real Eleanor
Norris was unable to
return to duty, after resigning two
years earlier. However, he agrees to give
her a few hours to prove
her statements.
With no possible escape, Eleanor has no choice
but to lie about this
man when Cruz comes
back home, and to offer
him an appointment that
evening, in a bar. But
instead of discussing things with him, she
kills him and hides
his body in a trash can, before
burning his identity cards.
The
brief appearance of Horace
Slash allows, if
it was still necessary
to do so, to show
us the darkness of
Eleanor Norris. In
addition, he serves primarily to give a
first indication about the
possible revelations on her
true identity.
