45 Planning

As the squadron of sleek black hovercars with Blackwater's insignia painted on their doors got closer and closer, Aldrich motioned for his undead to leave.

"We have to go," said Aldrich. He sprinted away into the depths of the forest, making sure to clear up any humanoid tracks. If the search party for Ghost saw human tracks, there would be immediate alarm and suspicion of foul play.

However, Aldrich did not bother covering up the more monstrous tracks because he wanted the search party to see them when they got to the clearing.

The team would dig up Ghost's used up needles and find bits and pieces of his body that Aldrich ad strategically left behind. Then, they would see Variant tracks and rule out the possibility of murder.

They would instantly rule that Ghost had died to a variant attack while too high off his mind to defend himself.
