[QUOTE="The Crimster, post: 266917, member: 2511"] After a few moments, Ray hears a scratching at his office door. It sounds as if a rather large rat is trying to get in. Before he can react, the door knob turns, revealing the pale face that he saw at the funeral just yesterday. Alister. He looks the same as when you saw him last - disheveled, dirty, and somewhat dazed looking. He slides into the office, quietly closing the door behind him. "Hello Alister." Ray says. "How did--" "Your friends." Alister interrupts before Ray can go any further. "You friends are going to [i]die[/i] Dr. Silver." Alister is looking down as he says this, seemingly unable to meet Ray's eyes. "The biggest integer of all is going to kill them. [b]Crush[/b] them beneath it's bulk. Numbers are heavy, know what I mean? I just thought you should know." He takes a seat in one of the leather office chairs and begins to look glumly at his hands.
