While taking the boys to a oyster bar (that turns out to be a bordello), Brackenreid is witness to a murder.
Tropes
- Den of Iniquity: Even before it's revealed to double as a brothel, the oyster bar is the scene of plenty of fights, as well as a murder.
- Dramatic Irony: The murder victim was killed by the mother of his child for making too many promises about their future together that he couldn't possibly fulfill. In truth, he was making them because he had robbed their employer of a clutch of valuable pearls.
- Miss Kitty: The owner of the oyster bar/brothel is referred to as "Mother Malone".
