I'm not going to tell you about how I was walking down the
streets of New Palermo got thrown in the trunk of a car by some fishy faces and
driven back to Innsmouth. And I sure as hell won't tell you what happened there
that got the whole place quarantined and how I escaped in the chaos. When I
tell you there's things you don't wanna know....seriously, you don't wanna
know.
I figured my rent expired. Sure enough when I got to the top
floor the door wasn't even where it was. They'd remodeled and subdivided. I
warned my sister I was being trailed. I hoped she'd be more relieved than angry
about.
It was easy enough finding her at the speak. Simone didn't
even give me side glance. I asked her how she was making ends meet since I was
gone and she pushed a couple c-notes in my hands and told me to shut the hell
up.
Hell I was gone so long some people thought I was new. The
old guard recognized me at least. I even got a job doing legal research on
night shift at the courthouse. Busy town. Cultist murders, arson, the usual. I
even got to nap in the corner a couple hours before the sun comes up.
Yesterday Simone passed me a letter. Address was from
"Steelhead Bay". From the Marshall.
"Bloody hell...they rebuilt it!"
