'Ben Reilly' makes his way back to the Daily Bugle, after calling ahead to set up a meeting. In the pocket of his trenchcoat, very persuasive and valuable evidence.

There are fewer stares this time, despite his resemblance to their late colleague - after all, gossip travels fast, and Pete's cousin from out of town has been a frequent item of discussion.

Morph makes his way to Urich's office with a little grin on his face.

"A happy ending. We don't get to see too many of those in this business." Urich stands and extends a hand across his desk. "You did good, son. Your cousin'd be proud."

Morph likewise stands, shaking the hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Urich. I certainly hope so. It's been a pleasure working with you on this."

The older man's grip is firm. "Likewise. Drop by the next time you're in town, all right?"

"I will."

Morph honestly, sincerely hopes to come back to this world, so the sentiment is genuine.

"See you around, Urich."

He nods to the older man.

After the younger man walks out of the office, Ben Urich picks up the phone and dials a certain extension. "Rosie? Urich. Yeah. No. Still nothing, huh? Hm. Yeah, it's good. Real good. Okay. Keep looking. Thanks, Rosie."

He hangs up and stares out the door thoughtfully.
