Small hours between night and Morning; Day 12
I can't sleep again. When I spoke to Jack earlier about getting out a bit more, he suggested I go with him on his rounds tonight. It isn't a bad idea at all. Jack is good company for someone who wants to be alone with her thoughts, but not alone.
Now my thoughts are coalescing not only around Annegwish, but on the little explosion at the Brothel today that Jack told me about. I'd known that Verdandi and Maryk had something going on, and I knew Karina had something distracting her, but all this? Who'd have guessed?
Another reason why I don't do the real relationship thing. Just be honest about what you want. Have your fun and be done with it. No need to destroy a friendship.
I meet Jack out front and we start walking. Around town, between buildings, down every street. We walk in silence mostly, no need to disturb him with my thoughts and theories right now. Besides, there is something very companionable about our silent round. I haven't really worked closely with anyone in a while, and my decision to hire Jack has turned out to be a good one.
After some time, our path finally reaches to the outskirts of town. At this point I'm mostly just following Jack's lead. He does this walk almost every night, and I'm just a guest on it. As we approach the "Welcome to Excolo" sign I take the lead though. There's something hanging down from it, and I can't see it from this side.
I quicken my pace as I move toward it. Closer, I can see that the objects below the sign are someone's legs. Jack's caught my urgency now, *Or he just saw the legs too.....*, and we're both nearly running to close the final few yards.
I round the sign and look up. A man, arms outstretched, has been nailed to the sign. And he's clearly dead.
"Annan above. We need to get rid of this before anyone sees."
