* WhatTheHellPlayer: During the course of investigating Desiree Lathan's murder, Miles needs to contact a lawyer she has spoken to but runs into the roadblock when he is asked by said lawyer's secretary to bring him evidence of her death, in order to get an appointment. If Miles [[spoiler:previously picked up some of Lathan's ashes]], this gets the player option to show the secretary [[spoiler:said ashes]] as his "proof". Predictably, the poor guy is rather horrified at the sight of [[spoiler:charred human remains]] and tells Miles to leave the office immediately or he will have him arrested and refuses to speak with him anyone. It nets the player [[AchievementMockery an achievement]] called "[[spoiler:Total Ash-hole]]", and Bill also calls Miles (and the player) on out what he did.
