[he'll find a wrapped box containing a pair of high-powered binoculars and a note from Courtney reading, "Hope to work with you again! Only maybe on not quite so many murders? ;) Happy Holidays, Courtney"]
[Boy, that sure is a heavy box sitting outside David's door. Wrapped in black paper, it doesn't exactly match the festive season, but Belial figured the detective would enjoy a bit of mystery.
So once he opens it up-- surprise! Sitting at the top is a large rubber snake that looks remarkably real. But, no, no, that's not the real present. Of course not!
The real present is the nice single serve coffee maker tucked away beneath it.
There's a note attached to the rubber snake's neck.]
"Did I surprise you? Just trying to keep you on your toes~ We can't always rely on coffee to wake us up, now can we?
[He thought he was doing okay, getting in a comfortable place emotionally with everything sorted out and now things were in sudden disarray and uncertainty.]
[Incomes a random message for you there, champ. Seems to be an image with no note attached though. More specifically, it’s an image of a large white snake wearing an upside down tulip on top of its head like a little hat. The photo and lighting quality are all exquisite too. Someone’s clearly taken the time to set this all up.]

I'm sorry...you had to leave so suddenly. If there's anything you want to come back for, I can let you in and give you time to do so.
