Nearly two weeks had passed since Samuel had first noticed his new neighbor, and at last his curiosity was piqued well enough to to justify a visit. It might have been the sounds issuing from the apartment - either picture hanging, which was curious for a man seemingly living on his own, or a vigorous and unorthodox love life, which was cause for congratulations and a shared six-pack of beer - or the brief glimpse he had gotten of the man’s PT shirt with USMC emblazoned across the front. Or perhaps it was simply the boredom that came from being alone for the first night in weeks, as Lia was out on some work-related appearance or other.
Whatever it was, it planted an unusually inquisitive seed in his mind, a shred of a motive in need of opportunity. And that, too, quickly presented itself, as in his slightly obsessive checking and double checking of his emergency supplies, Samuel noted that one of his ever-present Maglites was possessed of a dead battery. There was, of course, the option of simply going to buy another, but it was difficult to pass up the chance so neatly delivered to him.
And so he found himself standing before Apartment 706, armed with nothing more than a flimsy excuse and a need for company. He raised his fist to the door, rapping violently at its flat plane.
