Dear Romano, Yesterday while I was at the grocery store I saw this woman.

Im mentioning her because she was different than all of the other people that I had encountered that day. This woman had these huge bags under her eyes and her skin was damp from sweat. She had a sense of urgency to her like she was being hunted.

My main character, Barney Benzyl, comes from a broken family. His parents got a divorce when he was only 8 years old and he barely saw his dad afterward. His mother became an alcoholic after the divorce and Barney went to live with his grandparents who raised him for the remainder of his childhood. He and his best friend, Charles Kerney, attended MIT after graduating from high school. Barney pursued his life-long dream of composing music while Charles studies political science hoping to save the world through impacting the government. During his freshman year he met the love of his life, Sherin Aldrin. They dated throughout college and got married at the age of 25. Barney becomes the composer he always wanted to be and Sherin became a scientist, working as the head of her lab. To my dear wife Sherin, I am writing you because I dont trust that a phone conversation is safe at this point. After we got into that fight I moved in with Charles as you can probably guess. I know that I told you I dont believe the government is behind the deaths of all those people but I found some disturbing information today. When Charles left this morning I snooped around his desk and on his computer. I found some messages he sent from an Outscope Labs address. He was talking about the serum that your lab made and how there was an ingredient added after it cleared the lab. Apparently Charles was over the project to execute the making of the serum and had clearance to handle it before it was sent to the public for use. Sometime between it leaving the lab and going to the public it was poisoned so that it killed anyone who was injected. You were right honey, I was too blind to see it but you were right. I let this new job, friends, and way of life cloud my judgment. Im sorry. I want to come home so we can figure this thing out together. Barney,
