Marvelous. It reads as a sinuous, but self aware, noir.

Thank you! I feel like I just won a prize with that description. I’m gonna go ahead and have you do one-liners for all my stories ok? Great.

Wow, what an awesome ending. I didn't know exactly what to expect, especially with the twists and turns of the last two installments, but honestly I basically got everything I want! I would LOVE to see what your original ending looked like, and some thoughts on why you thought it was good at the time, and why you decided against it and made things this way - I am always fascinated with a behind the scenes look if it is appropriate or possible.

Thanks for another great story! I can't wait for the next big thing here on the Dispatches!

That is SO good to hear! The biggest fear I have is always that the ending won’t be satisfying. I’ll definitely drop a few notes about what the original ending looked like. I don’t expect anyone will disagree that it was bad.
