“45 year old Stephen Murray was found dead in his apartment this morning...

"Police believe this homicide to be linked to the multiple murders being committed in the same downtown area. Murray was discovered by his landlord.”

A scruffy man. Unshaven, breath of alcohol.

“I just went up there to see if he was around ‘cause he don’t like paying rent and he not answering so I let myself in and he be laying there. I thought he be drunk and passed out but I then seen he got blood all over his head and then I seen his throat was cut.”

Woman, again.

“One resident did see a person leave early this morning around 4:00 AM. They could not tell if it was a man or a woman, but police did release a description. The suspect is about 5’6” tall, wearing a black coat and black hat. They were last seen walking south on Melbourne.”

Pity took a drag on her cigarette.

Every single day. Every day. Was it Friday or Tuesday?
