It's been a fairly quiet day.
You caught a bad guy yesterday.
No-one died in the night.
You're starting to relax & hope that everything will soon be back to normal.
But hang on, now there's an empty chair at the dinner table.
Of course, there are several empty chairs, but one of them shouldn't be empty....
With a growing sense of trepidation, you start to search the hotel.
You find a box and a suitcase stacked by the back door.
Joesapphire opens the case.
Penutbrittle recognizes some of the clothes inside.
They belong to Stuart9001.
You all head to Stuart's room.
As you head along the corridor, you spot him heading away from you, towards the fire escape, dragging another large case.
You chase after him & demand to know what he's doing.
Robbeasy points out the obvious:
"You do realise that we're still in quarantine, don't you?"
Muttly demands to know what he's up to & makes a grab for Stuart's shoulder.
Stuart doesn't say a word, but twists & spins in a frantic attempt to get away.
Unfortunately, weighed down by the case, he is becoming surrounded.
Watching out for Muttly, rather than where he is going, he bumps into Vitek.
Darting sideways to escape the trap, he misses the top step & starts to tumble.
The rest of you catch up with him at the bottom of the stairs, but he won't be answering any more questions, if the unnatural angle of his neck is any indication.
This is only compounded by the knives he had tucked up both sleeves.
One has cut into his arm, down to the bone.
The other has slipped it's sheath entirely & is now embedded in his side.
What use would an inocent man have for such concealed weaponry?
Stuart9001 has been Lynched.
He was Adam Snook, General Nasty Piece of Work (Mafia Jack of all Trades)
Night has now fallen.
No more posting until dawn.
Night action are due no later than 9am 17 Feb.
