MAx is fine but...

Max's apartment was a mess.

The place had game cases and cartridges in pieces all over the place. His game systems were untouched but had markings all over them like something chewed on them. his kitchen was worse, trash covered the entire thing while take out boxes had mold and bugs coming out of the things.

His bedroom however was the oddest thing. It was clean. totally clean. Max is not known for keeping a totally clean room, in fact the reason we had to help install linoleum was cause he refused to own a damn vacuum cleaner. I checked under the bed in the vein attempt that something was under there like his safe but it was not, it wasn't in his closet, and it wasn't anywhere in his room.

It was in his bathroom, in the tub, locked...whoopee.

The problem is I have no idea how to pick a damn lock. At this point I just grab the suitcase and get ready to leave when his phone starts ringing, i decide to ignore it until the answering machine picks up. The message plays then it starts recording. Then i here someone.

It's Max.

'Hey Kelly, sorry once again to spring you watching my place on such short notice. I finally got everything done in New York for my uncle and he was kind enough to give me next motnhs rent for my troubles. Tell Mr Samson that I should be back Monday for my court date. Thanks again and tell Isis I miss her.'

...Max is ok... but who's kelly? and where is Isis? Isis is his cat but she usually is around and judging form the fact that none of the meat in the carry out is eaten she's not here. I checked the caller ID and its from a damn payphone. I'll have to wait til Monday to talk to Max.

what has happened

Went to Kevin's place to talk to his dad but no one was home. Kevin gave me a key to get in so i went into his room. It looked the same but there was an envelope sitting on his computer desk. All that was in it was a key and a note saying found it.

Besides the key I guess I should tell you what happened at that park.

Kevin usually goes to the park to clear his head half the time and with all this shit going on I can't blame him. He said he saw that guy he keeps going on about at the train station but as he came closer to him the man started backing away. Finally, Kevin said he turned around and he just starting hearing sirens go off.

The next thing Kevin knew it was dark and he was at the park on the other side of town. But it was the thing in his pocket he wanted me to investigate.

Shavings.

it was a mix of wood, coal and dried blood. The wood was easy since it smelled of pine and usually pine trees are common in wooded areas. The coal is the same coal from the last time i had to do tests.

The blood is a totally different story.


...it's human.

I study this for school and know the difference in animal and human DNA. I sdon't know whats going on but now i know i have to go to max's house tomorrow before his landlord throws everything out.

problem

Hey this is Steve wondering if Anyone has seen kevin? I was talking with him a week ago and i was supposed to meet with him and Max on saturday for free ocmic book day in New Haven. Beither one of them showed. MAx's landlord said he never came home after the court date and the last time i saw Kevin was a week and a half ago when i gave him some results he asked for about something he found in the park.

I'm surprised he did not post about it but his father said he hasn't seen him since thursday which is the day after i saw him.

once i get everything together i'll post again
