xcept for emergency lights, the condo building is dark. In the lobby, some people with flashlights are trying to free someone trapped in an elevator. You find the stairs and climb five stories to reach Unit 609.
The door is locked. You move toward a light flickering next door.
In Unit 610
Two neighbors huddle around a table ablaze with candles. They're eager to tell you what happened."Jessica knocked on my door," the woman, Stella, tells you. "I opened up -- it was like a horror movie. 'Mask of Blood.'"
"I called the ambulance," the man, Eric, says. "I tried to clean her up but Jessy just wouldn't stop bleeding. She got blood all over me," he says, rubbing at smears on his arms.
"I need to get into her condominium," you say.
"I share a balcony with Jessica," Stella pipes up. "Maybe you can get in that way. Are you afraid of heights?"
Candles in hand, the three of you inspect the balcony. A wall separates Stella's side of the balcony from Jessica's side.
"Look," Eric says. "Simple. I'll go see if her balcony door is open." And before you can say anything he steps over the rail, swings around the wall and over onto Jessica's side of the balcony. You hear pottery fall and shatter. Eric curses, then falls silent.
"Eric," you shout. "Eric!" There is no response.
Follow Eric into Jessica's condominum
