I Am the Messenger Part 2 / Chapter 3 Summary

the envelope

  • Once Daryl and Keith have left, Ed gets up off the floor. He grabs the envelope, worried it might send him on more dangerous assignments like Edgar Street.
  • He opens it anyway, and inside he finds a letter and an Ace of Clubs. The letter tells Ed a couple of things: (1) he's doing well; (2) they know he didn't kill Edgar Street, but they like how he handed it anyway; (3) that scum bag got on a train to never return; and (4) here's the Ace of Clubs, and good luck because it's no picnic. Can you handle it?
  • Challenge accepted. Ed looks at the card, ready for his next set of addresses, but instead he finds these words: "say a prayer at the stones of home." What does that mean?
  • Confused and annoyed, Ed leaves the card on the coffee table; he doesn't know what to make of it.
  • He pets the Doorman and realizes his head is bleeding. He should probably go fix that.
