The expression "like a lamb to the slaughter" is when someone does something or goes somewhere without knowing that something bad is going to happen and therefore act calmly and without fighting against the situation. What meaning does the title of the story suggest in regards to both the murder weapon and the fate of Patrick Maloney?
Answer: referring, It is not the right time to tell you. I don't know if I'm supposed to answer lamb to the slaughter with the other but I'm going to. Basically it means that it is a big kill.
