Ripton Sam, the Zetta Files 4At 3:30 in the morning the phone rang. I was impressed. They discovered this one more quickly than I'd expected them to. Sure enough, it was Officer Montbrison calling to tell me they discovered another Ripton Sam victim. I told them I'd arrive in the morning. Nothing I could find out now that I won't be able to find out when the sun rises.

I got out of bed and was surprised to discover I was still dressed from the night before. Saves me some trouble. I was about to head downstairs when I remembered that it was full of noodles, and climbed out onto the fire escape. The window into George the Accountant's main office was locked, for some reas
Ripton Sam, the Zetta Files 3Exhausted and confused, I wandered away. Sometimes the world just doesn't want to cooperate with you. Being forced into this investigation by that big city mafia bastard was just the start of it. Murders make my stomach turn, and this was no exception. I can shut off my emotions well enough when I'm on a job, but eventually it catches up to me. The blood, the smell, the reminder of our own fragility and mortality, it's not something we're built to handle. The mind starts to slip. Talking ferrets is clearly the first sign. I quietly vomited into a storm drain and continued home determined to think of other things.

Ripton Sam, the Zetta Files 2When we got to the scene of the crime the place was swarming with reporters. The police may be slow, but I've never been to one crime scene where the reporters didn't show up first.

Well, except maybe this.

All the internal organs of the young woman had been removed. It took me a few seconds to realize where they were. Without a trail of blood anywhere, they had been hung like red tinsel from the nearby streetlights. Cameras flashed in a flurry of light as I s

This marks the first assured fatality I've written in the tournament. I was surprised by this realization, considering McGillicuddy's nature, and more surprised that it was difficult to write that here, too.
