Nick spent the remainder of the morning talking to as many of the mailroom staff as he could, discovering nothing new, except for maybe the fact that they were a peculiar group of people. A majority were surprisingly nerdy, seeming more like brainiac computer geeks than people who would handle the mail. Then there were several who just struck him as eccentric. Only a handful seemed even remotely normal, but then again, he supposed there was a reason why they were all working underground away from the general populace.

Did that weirdness give one of them, or maybe more than one, the potential to hurt their fellow employees? It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility, that was for sure. He was even willing to bet more than of a couple of them thought zombies were cool. Could they be trying to make their own zombies somehow?

He dismissed mentioning that particular idea to Captain Brooks. That was the kind of thinking that would get him pulled from the case and on yet another leave of absence.

But Nick did have to give his superior some sort of update. With the lack of physical evidence, and the fact that aside for one person who was technically found alive, there were no bodies, this was going to be a hard case to keep going.

The only reason Chief Brooks was taking an interest in it to begin with was because of the number of people who were missing.

Nick wasn’t looking forward to telling him that he didn’t have any solid information yet, and he was afraid Brooks was going to pull him anyway when he shared what he did know.

Still, he gathered up the report he’d written and headed for his superior’s office.

He rapped on the doorframe even though the captain’s door was open and he was seated at his desk.

Captain Brooks looked up from another report he was reading and called for Nick to come in. Nick wandered into his office, reluctant to sit down. Reluctant to hand over the report.

“Well? Any leads?”

Nick hesitated again, then shrugged vaguely. “I’m getting closer, I think, to some real news. There’s definitely a lot of strange things going on at that magazine.”

Brooks nodded. “But do you have anything definite?”

Nick looked down at the report clutched in his hand, then finally shook his head. “Not yet, but—”

His boss raised his hand to stop him. “I’m right with you that there is something very wrong over there. But I can only give you so much time to check it out. We just don’t have the money or manpower for a lengthy investigation. Especially when there is still no proof that these people didn’t just walk away of their own volition.”

“Twenty-one people?”

Brooks nodded in sympathy. “I hear you, but these are grown individuals, and aside for the one, who was actually found alive—”

“But mentally gone,” Nick added.

“I understand that, but as of right now, we have no proof that these people didn’t just walk away and start a new life elsewhere.
