Struggle
Face
picked up the phone. Dead. He traced the cord back to the wall to
find it had been unplugged. He plugged it back in and called
Hannibal.
"Murdock's gone."
"Damn. Are
there signs of a struggle?"
Face looked around the
apartment. At the walls lined with tinfoil. At the TV set with a
piece of paper taped over the screen, the word LIAR written on it. On
the side facing the screen.
He picked up a sheet from one of
the many tottering piles of paper and notebooks. Writing covered even
the covers of the notebooks. The writing was small, the pressure
hard, gouging the pages.
they listen to me they want to
make me do things I dont want to they talk to me at night in my
dreams lies lies lies
Face felt tears prick his
eyes.
"Yes," he answered quietly. Signs of a
struggle.
"Damn," Hannibal said again. "Any
blood? Think he's wounded?"
"What?" Face shook
himself. "No."
Yes he was. Not all wounds were
visible.
