["Man, I was a kid. I don't really remember much. Maybe you should check at the office? I think his personal assistant still works there. She always had a memory like a steel trap."]
Do you remember her name?
["Remember? She still sends me a card on my birthday every year. Hold on, I'll get you her number."
And with that, she retreats into the house to go find it.]
Dedication, that she's still there after all these years.
( And his death. William stands when she returns, folding the information over and slipping it into his jacket pocket. He thanks her for her cooperation and asks her to keep this to herself. (Pers 17) )
[Oh, no. She understands the stakes when it comes to Team Arrow business (6).
They head over to the law office where they are greeted by ... the most ancient law secretary they have ever seen. She honestly looks like she should be retired on a beach somewhere but instead she loops up and squints at them through her glasses.
[The secretary seems confused when they want to talk to her rather than their bosses, but after they explain what they're here about, it doesn't take long to get the information that they need. That from what she heard, the other partners were looking to push him out and he was going to make that difficult for them.
She doesn't think they would take the easy way out but her boss was soon dead and the partners in question followed six months later.
It takes a little bit more digging but eventually they narrow down that they definitely have their ghost, and head out to the graveyard to do the messiest part of this job: digging up the body.
( He and Cooper make quick work - or, belabored - work of the grave one shovel each at a time. After climbing up and out and pulling Cooper back up with him, Cooper lets his boyfriend salt and burn the body. An otherworldly screech howls out in the distance.
Later, back in the front seat of his car, he gets contemplative as he reflects on the day's events. )
You think with how investigative hunts are, someone might start a podcast.

This is going well. Let's hope the assistant is still as much of a steel trap as she claims.
[Skepticism is always healthy, just to be on the safe side.]

Coop's about halfway there before he groans.]
Man, I am out of shape.
[At least in terms of digging graves.]

[He doesn't think very many people take them seriously, but they're quite popular.
His shovel hits the top of the coffin and he makes a small sound of victory, before reaching down and prying it open.]
Hopefully this won't be too ripe.

As the aged corpse goes up in flames, he keeps his mind on after. A shower. Maybe something good to eat. Time with his boyfriend. )
