Scene Number One

~Markus~

Nearly seven in the morning, we were still working over a plan on how to organize my death and make Mike believe I died for real. There were a few dozen of variants from the fire to the gunshot, and even more dozens of variants on how to make me look more dead than I am now. Closer to half past eight, we came to the final conclusion that the best variant for me to die and for it to look real is to make a gun-shooting scene with blood streaming out of my body. At the same time when I'll be bleeding, some of Valentine's people will burst my heart with an aspen stake. An old but pretty effective method that won't leave any questions about the reality of my death.
