"He stabbed him. He stabbed him in the throat! And when Alex lay there, screaming and gasping and trying to breathe through the hole in his neck, Tim started beating him, like some kind of animal! Tried ripping him apart! You should've seen the mess he made of old Alex Kralie. Guy was so red by the end of it that you couldn't even recognize him!"
"Shut up," says Tim, louder, desperately.
"It's not like he doesn't know he's a murderer," the shadow spits, like bacon fat sizzling in the pan. "He just doesn't want everyone else to know. Especially not the people who knew Alex Kralie. Who cared about Alex Kralie. Who gave a damn about Alex Kralie."
