Mark POV, Wednesday

Mark was currently hunched over a filing cabinet in the records room of the abandoned police station that was now acting as a base camp for the survivors. Ever since the release of the new monsters, all patrols had been suspended until these new creatures were studied enough to find a counter to them. It was because of this suspension, that Mark had the time to research the man he had been seeing visions of the last few days.

He was sifting through the G section when he blinked and found himself standing in the hallway; time had reverted again. Mark silently counted down to himself and as if on cue, images of the mysterious man getting overrun by the new spike-slinging Beatles, nicknamed "Spikers" by many, and subsequently dying. Mark sighed, getting odd glances from the other people in the hallway. The identity of the mysterious man was starting to get on his nerves.

Deciding it was not worth going back to the records room, Mark turned around and changed his route to his bunk instead. Upon arriving at his bunk, Mark promptly sat on his bed and began to think. His thoughts did not last long because it seems this novel does not like to let people be alone with their thoughts. And as if to prove it, a message appeared in front of Mark’s vision, startling him from his thoughts.

Mark blinked a couple times, trying to digest the burst of new information given to him. Throughout all of the information given, one part stood out to him the most; “investigating a fugitive of the law”. He had an epiphany, and not wanting to lose the idea he immediately took out his laptop and searched for arrests in the last 20 years that fit the mystery man’s description. Surprisingly, it did not take long for him to find what he was looking for, and in front of him was an open article reading:

Mob hitman, Malcolm Shellings, sentenced to life imprisonment with no appeal.
