I can't tell you that, sir..." he whispers harshly.  "Not for my family's sake.""I'll see that they're protected if you talk.""Sorry, but that won't be enough, sir.  Not against what he can do.  He has eyes and ears everywhere... he'll know if I talk... he probably already does..."Longtree sighs.  "Very well, have it your way."  He looks around at the others.  "Anyway, if you're thinking of going into the East End, best wait until morning.  It's quite late, as Monty said, and it wouldn't do to be out and about in Whitechapel and Spitalfields this time of night.  Especially not Dorset... blimey!"There is a clattering noise from the slab where the body of the blind man lies.  With horror in their eyes, the group looks over to find that the corpse is getting up off the slab, the Y-shaped autopsy incision and vacant sockets making it all the more evident that the walking dead is here in the morgue... it picks up the serpentine knife and advances towards Monty, who shrieks and cowers on the ground."I'm sorry!" he shouts.  "They knew!  They knew, Mr. Franks, I didn't tell them!"Lightly Wounded = 75% health or aboveModerately Wounded = 50%-75% healthSeverely Wounded = 25%-50% healthCritically Wounded = less than 25% healthBlind Man's Corpse: unhurtInspector Jamison O.
