A Reason To Kill Part 3 Another Player In the Game

I guess when you do something so many times, no matter how terrible, it becomes almost... normal. Another darkened alleyway with gleaming blade in hand. Won't be gleaming for long... I approach through shadows, he has no idea of the hold I have over him. His head dragged back and a crimson smile is drawn upon his throat. His lifeless body hits the floor and my not-so-gleaming knife carries one more soul. I wipe his eyes from my mind and return my only friend to my pocket. Been a busy week... Key. Door. Newspaper on floor. Time to read what my adoring public think of my recent work. Wait a minute. I'm demoted to the second page! Ah I see now, another murderer in town eh? Four bodies in a week. Someone's been busy... So there's another player in the game who thinks he can steal my front page? Only one thing to do really... Let's play.
