The Belindo House
 rs.
Belindo meets you at the door to her house, an old bungalow with sagging
window screens and peeling paint. She doesn't say much. She waves for
you to go into Troy's bedroom, and then shuffles off in the direction
of the kitchen.
IN
TROY'S BEDROOM
Sprawled on the bed a teenaged girl jumps up when you
come in. "Like, someone's here," she says into a cordless phone. "Someone.
I gotta go, bye bye bye."
 "Who are you?" you ask after she's hung up.
"Rosario. Troy's girlfriend. Where is he?" she wants to
know.
"Didn't Mrs. Belindo tell you?"
"Nah. We don't talk much anymore," she shrugs. "Like,
what's with the mask?"
"Troy's sick," you tell her. "He's in the hospital." This
hits her hard.
"What - what's wrong with him?"
"We don't know. I'm here looking for clues. Better put
these on," you add, handing her a mask and some gloves. She stares at
them with alarm.
"He's really sick, isn't he?" she asks, and you don't
deny it.
Looking around the cluttered bedroom, you notice a soda can
on a desk.
