The pair found themselves bumping into each other out front of the morgue.

"Fancy meeting you here Jack."

"I never miss out on a chance meeting at the city morgue Miss Fisher. Shall we?" Jack gestured to the door. Phryne reached for the handle as did Jack. Their hands touching, "After you. I've heard that if one is two steps behind they have the best view."

"Feeling cheeky today, are we?"

"No, of course not. I was merely stating that if you're two steps behind you have the best view of the victim." He said swinging the door open.

"Right on time" proclaimed Mac absorbed in staring at the specimen in the jar, missing out on the shared moment between her two visitors. She turned around holding up the jar. "Here's your culprit. A Sydney Funnelweb spider."

Phryne moved to the other side of the room, putting distance between her and the bit of wildlife. Jack turned and smirked at the sight of the Honorable Miss Fisher moving away from any danger small or large.

"Correct me if I'm wrong Dr. MacMillan, but those aren't indigenous to Victoria."

"No Inspector, they're not."

"Perhaps it crawled into her bag during the Cup."

"Doubtful, they're shy creatures. Don't want anything to do with people."

"Jack, that means that someone had to put that thing in her shoe. That makes it murder without a doubt!"

"Dr. MacMillan, let us know if you uncover anything else. You can find me at the station."

"Will do."

The pair left together, "Well Jack, can I persuade you to come join us for dinner this evening?"

"I think your house is quite full with visitors at this time, don't you?"

"We could always dine out of course?"

"How 'bout a rain check? I must get back to the station" Sensing her disappointment he grabbed her gloved hand, "When this case is over I'll have you over. It won't be the five star dining you're used to, but I can cook an egg quite well."

"Don't make a promise you can't keep."

"I have every intention of keeping it."

"I'll hold you to that Jack."

He lifted her gloved hand and gave it a gentlemanly kiss, "À la prochaine Miss Fisher."
