Killing a big and muscular guy will be a bit difficult for me. I'm tall and do have muscles obviously but I'm no boxer or anything like that. So I will have to catch him when he's alone and weakened. I have found out that Jason hangs out in a local pub, the Kelly's, every single night to get drunk so this is where I will find him. On the way there I meet up with a friend from school who now lives from selling drugs. I'm not proud of what I'm about to do but it's my only chance.

Reaching the restaurant I find Jason pretty fast. He sits by the bar and is waiting for me. Since he used to be a rather famous boxer I told him I was a journalist who would like to publish the story of the famous Jason Marcus. He's taken the bite. So here it goes.
"Jason Marcus?" "George, the journalist?" "That would be me. Thanks for meeting me." "Got nothing better to do anyways."
After having talked for about an hour and quite a few drinks Jason gets up, saying he has to go to the restroom. I use the time he's gone efficiently to order him yet another drink and enter the drugs I bought unnoticed.

When Jason leaves the restaurant another hour later he feels pretty weird...no he feels ANGRY. For a long time the anger inside of him had been bottled up and for some reason, this interview has brought it all up again. He decides to pay the person a visit that is responsible for all this anger in the first place - his father, Jones Marcus.

The next morning one story is all over the news. Jason Marcus, a well known former boxer, had attacked his father in his home, acting angry like a madman. The Father had no choice but to defend himself - with a shot to the stomach. He had tried to keep his son alive but when the paramedics arrived, he was long gone. Jones had a nervous breakdown and was brought to the hospital to be taken care of. In an interview he opened up and told the public how he had mistreated his son when he was a kid until teenage. He had hit him regularly. So this outburst of Jason was long overdue but he would have never thought that he would be that much taken over by anger.
When I hear this story I realise I have to stop this. I can't keep killing for this guy. I can't even look at myself in the mirror anymore. Even the fact that this father might be suffering now and that he might even deserve it, I feel sorry for them. I have to solve this riddle.
