     I go to the evidence locker and check in with the front desk. "Eliza" the desk operator says to me in her normal monotone voice "still working on the Alaster case huh?" I nod, "Of course, that's what I wanted to do when I went into this work. Get me case #4473." she sighs and grabs it, there's a new envelope with it. "What the hell is this? I've never seen this" I say, very confused. This cassette is a small while one, with the words "play me" written in what looks to be a blood red pen. At least, that's what I hope it is. "Who gave you this?" I say, very scared as to what gave this to the police. "Madison Lockheart, lives in the old apartment the dead guy lived in." Sandra says, very bored with my antics. "Thanks." I say, very ready to get back to my case.

     See, I have a connection to this case. Before my mom made us change our name to "rose", my name was Eliza Alaster. This man was my father, and I want to know what happened to him. I grab my old cassette player, put the tape in, and listen to the tape. He sounds horrible, so sickly and depressed. Almost like someone is watching him. He describes what went down.
