Over the din of the students outside, Eric is able to hear the paramedics speaking. "Judging from his skin, I'd say the blood's been drained from his body." "All of it?" "Looks that way. Look at the holes in his neck. They probably sucked it out from here." "You mean a vampire?" "Pfft. Don't be stupid. Vampires aren't real. They probably used a tube to suck it out. Sick bastards." "You said time of death was last night, right?" "Yeah... Probably between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m." * Eric commits all of this to memory. Eric overhears the cop talking with the other guy. "So you found the body and called right away? Why weren't you here last night?"] ["Well, I was at the girls' dorm... you know..."] ["Right, right. So you came back and found Gary like this. You had your key on you, right?"] ["Yeah, of course."] ["And Gary's keys are right here. What about your other roommate? Richard Leblanc?"] ["I think he did it. I mean, no one's seen him in a week, but... man... Ever since he got back from that trip he's been acting weird, you know?"] ["Weird how?"] ["I don't know how to describe it. Just... Weird. Distant, kind of. Serious. Said he had something important to do, but he didn't say what. But Gary, man.... I thought we were all buddies."]
