>>>>>[ What a mess this place is... anyway, I was just upstairs, enjoying
a nice cup of cappacino, when all of a sudden I heard three shots go off.
Sounded like a flechette pistol, but then again I'm no weapons expert.
At any rate, I didn't think anything of it (just figured it was Go-Gang
business or something) until the phone beeped. As usual, I record all
my phone biz...

*** 'PHONE1.TXT' received. (1k)

*** Audio Feed (SILICONSABOTEUR.COM): Hello, you've reached Matt's
Pleasure Palace. How may I appease you good sir or madame?

*** Audio Feed (WARPEDWARLOCK.COM): <slight whisper> ... Help ... me ...

*** Audio Feed (SILICONSABOTEUR.COM): Izzat you Warlock? What's wrong?!?

*** Audio Feed (WARPEDWARLOCK.COM): <slight whisper> ... Shrew... <click>
<dial tone>

*** End Audio File.

Anyways, I just think Warlock's kidding... either that or he wants me to
walk down three flights of stairs to get him some morphine for his arm,
which he could've just as easily gotten himself, but I decide to humor
him. When I get to his flat, the door's wide open, and I distinctly smell
burnt flesh and gunpowder in the air. I rush in, and low and behold,
Warlock's body is on the floor, surrounded by a pool of blood, with several
nasty gunshot wounds. I checked for a pulse, and found one.... faint, but
it was there. I called DocWagon as quickly as my little fingers could dial,
and waited for them to get there. As I tried to stop the flow of blood
the best I could, I found the following note by his body...

Two down, many to go.
-- Shrew

You made the mistake of leaving a calling card, Shrew. I've got friends in
high places (Can you say, 'Yakuza'?) who'll back me up in hunting you down.
Pray for a quick death... ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Actually, Warlock's still alive. In a coma for an unknown amount of
time, but alive. I didn't want Shrew to see this, in case he got any ideas
about finishing the job.

Oh yeah, I don't know anyone with the Yakuza either... ]<<<<<
