I look down at the check in my hand, then the note I hold beneath it. The
signature on it is illegible, just a tangle of strokes in blue ink that looks like
it shook out of a trembling pen. But I know what it says:
Terrence Brooks
Knowing that, I can almost decipher the first letters of each of the names,
but the rest seems to have been purposely scribbled so that it can’t be easily
read. It isn’t the name that has my primary focus though. It’s the tiny
symbol etched just beneath the name, almost lost in the jumbled letters. The
same symbol that was carved into Terrence’s body when it was found. The
sign of the person now known as the Game Master.
The chilling message sent to the Ashbury Police Department is still fresh
in my mind. Detective Melton gave me the letter that arrived at the station
when I returned to the town where Terrence Brooks lived and died, and I
have it with the rest of the investigation into his horrific and mysterious
death.
When you speak of me, know me as the Game Master. Player selection
has begun.
It means there could be more. Other victims. Other horrors I can’t yet
fathom because I don’t understand who this person is or what they are
doing. All I know is Terrence Brooks was selected as a player, and he ended
up dead after weeks of what those closest to him described as “strange
behavior.” Now I’m scrambling to figure out what happened to him and
who this person is.
But it wasn’t just the police department that received a note mentioning
the Game Master and claiming a connection to the Terrence Brooks death
investigation. The media has gone wild with notes they received claiming
responsibility, signed with the strange symbol I’ve yet to decipher. Echoes
of notorious killers from the past, sensationalized names like the Zodiac,
have the heat turned up on the investigation as people start to panic about
what it all means.
I hate that my investigation has been corrupted like this. There are
always details I want to keep to myself to protect the integrity of the
investigation, but this time they’ve been stolen from me and splashed all
over the evening news. Images of the symbol on the note have been posted
alongside pictures of Terrence Brooks smiling during better times.
Speculation has given way to full-blown rumors, and people are in an
uproar.
The one good thing that has come of the media getting ahold of the story
and running with it was the Ashbury Children’s Hospital getting in touch
with me to tell me that they had something I needed to see. It’s what
brought me to the hospital as I now sit in the director’s office and look at
the sizable canceled check signed by the dead man.
“You received this after his death?” I ask the director.
