At the insurance company, I think, as Walter thought, Keyes and Nettie and the others will get suspicious about the whole case with Mr. Nirdlinger and soon enough all fingers point at Walter. Knowing him, Walter might try to persuade his way out of it so that he wouldn't get arrested (because who wants to get arrested?). As I said in the first prediction, I still believe that the book will end in Walter's death. I feel like he would die because of either Phyllis or Nino killing him in their "battle" against each other.

Double Idemnity Prediction #2
I think in the rest of this book, the murder is going to hit Walter hard. I don't think he's going to go fully off the deep end like Macbeth did, but it will still seriously affect him. I feel like he might go on the side of being suspicious that everyone think he's the one who committed the murder. Also, now that he knows that Phyllis has committed a murder before and that she basically used Walter, he's going to be angry. I think that in some ways, Walter never really won his bet with Mr. Nirdlinger and everything, and he has Phyllis to blame. Since he's always so focused on winning bets, he's going to want some form of revenge for Phyllis making him lose. I don't think it's going to be killing her, but perhaps something along those lines. Knowing how cunning Phyllis is, she already predicted that this was goingg to happen so she's ready for whatever comes at her. Since Nino left as well, I feel like they're going to band together as a pair against Walter (and maybe Lola??? To get back at Phyllis??)

I agree that the murder seems to be weighing on Walter and cracks are beginning to show in his cool, detached demeanor. What makes you think he'll break down by attacking rather than break down by falling apart and becoming confessional? It seems like his character could go the way of Lady Macbeth or the way of Macbeth.
