’In other news, the body of a man found yesterday has now been confirmed as the researcher, Dr.Whyte. Mr.Whyte was found slumped over his desk, and appears to have suffered heart failure'.
Shaking his head, Dr. Pickman turned off the TV, tossing the remote to one side.
‘Bullshit.’, Pickman thought. ‘I knew Whyte better than his own mother, and that guy was as healthy as a horse. Something’s wrong here. Sitting down, he began to think of who would want to kill Whyte. Christ! This is turning into a game of goddamn Clue! Suddenly, it dawned on him. Starkweather! That old bastard wanted to commercialize Whyte’s work. And if he couldn’t get Whyte, the next logical choice would be…Oh shit!. Jumping to his feet, Pickman grabbed a nearby open suitcase, hastily stuffing as many research papers as he could. Unlike Whyte, Pickman did not own a gun, instead, choosing to take a baseball bat for self-defense. Also, unlike Whyte, Pickman actually made it out the front door. Running down the street, he was about to unlock his car when..
Click.
He heard the sound of a loaded gun. ‘Freeze bitch, or I’ll blow your fucking brains out’, came a shout from behind Pickman. Turning around slowly, he saw a man with a aiming a pistol at him, level to his head. The man’s face was painted to look like a skull. ‘Look’, Pickman started to say. ‘I don’t want any trouble’. Before he could go any further, he felt a plastic bag being shoved roughly over his head, held tightly in place. As he felt the life slowly being sucked out of him, literally, Pickman’s lasts thoughts were: ‘Damn! The bastards flanked me. That’s the oldest trick in the book’. Running out of air, Pickman collapsed at the kness, before falling face-first into the street.
