"Don't joke about zombies. Someone, somewhere, is crazy enough to do that." Joe said seriously.
"But yeah, I buried the knife with Melissa and it showed up in the back of Roxanne's doorman. He said he saw someone casing the place most of the night. I caught up with the guy who did it not long after. He was about to give me a name and then someone remotely ended our conversation and killed him. Police were all over it." Joe said.
He paused for a moment, bracing himself to recount the story for the second time tonight.
"I met Melissa during my second year at Colorado Springs. We met in a bar one night and hit it off. Things got deep. She went on a lot of business trips and said she worked for her family. Turns out that she and her older brother, Jason, were spies. Jason did wetworks, too. Jason tried to take out a visiting general during my third year. I got involved and stopped him. Later that night, Melissa called me for help and I found Jason sitting on her couch." Joe said.
"I waited two days before I turned him in. He killed three cops before they called him. Melissa was so pissed she stopped speaking to me. A month later the coroner called me to ID her body. Last I heard, Jason was sentenced to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. I went to see him once and he said he would make me pay for what happened to Melissa. He had her body moved so I couldn't visit her." Joe told her.
"He said he'd start by killing everyone I cared about. I think he arranged this but if he's out, I need to find him and stop him."
