Spent Shells
I close my eyes and try to slow my heart rate, like I read the snipers used to do in war. Still do, maybe, if there’s anyone out there fighting… Focus, damnit.

Of course, Monroe Cane had heard his name. Keeping tabs on new arrivals to Community is not too difficult when Officer Jones keeps you informed. The man's name was Walter Branson. The syringe found under the bed in Samantha and Jesse's room had Mr. Branson's finger prints on it which validated Jesse's story. Though the cause of death was unknown, it is believed he was knocked unconscious then drown...
