Daniel Webster's bust had been gathering dust in Emily's shop for a year now. Unfortunately, there was no dust on the gun she found in the bust. Cleo Delaphine was the Lentement Decorating Shop's most disagreeable customer, but that didn't mean the staff was exactly glad to see her dead. The Lentement's owner, Emily Murdock, was far more interested in talking employee Henry Bryce into marrying her. Still, Emily and Henry couldn't help but wonder if the gun they discovered in the bust of Daniel Webster had anything to do with Cleo's murder. After all, the cops hadn't found the murder weapon. Emily figured the gun could have been there for the entire year the bust had sat on the shelf waiting for her to make some repairs, so she reattached it inside the bust and sent Henry to the Belasco Theater on Broadway where it was to be used as a stage prop in a new play - only someone socked Henry and stole the bust before he could make the delivery. It was then that Henry and Emily decided to visit the cops, who at first didn't show much interest in their theories. That was all to change after a second body showed up in the stairwell leading up to the shop.
