Once again, I got delayed for not only school and karate, but also posting up a chapter from another story I'm doing. This would happen for sometime since the chapters I'm doing are long and all. But at least the chapters in this story are short and can be posted up soon after, so I have nothing to complain about. Now for the reviews of the last chapter. Paladin of Farore thinks it's a really good story and thinking of setting up one that takes place after the sequel. And yes, I have finished the game a two days ago and it was pretty epic. Even have to save all the Little Sisters to get the good ending cause that's how I roll. Now mzs91 agreed with me and thought they would've done something with Meltzer other then letting Delta kill him. The folks from 2K should've let Meltzer help Delta in the end of the game. Other then that the plot was pretty interesting. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't played the game but I'll let you know that it's a mixture of Taken and 1,000 Leagues under the Sea. Now ProjectXantos was finally able to post up chapters, even the ideas I gave him through his private message, but he claimed in his review that Jadeite on his story is actually a guy and not just a guy, but the author's own OC. I sorry about that PX, I thought it was a woman due to the name. I'll fix that chapter up once I get this one taking care of. Speaking of which, on this chapter Meltzer gets a threatening letter that would endanger his investigation. Who sent it and why? Let's find out!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bioshock, its sequel, or Something in the Sea.

Entry Thirty-Eight: The Threat

Meltzer's log dated September 30th 1968.

I was going to head to Lutwidge's hideout at Park Ave. soon. But lately, I have a situation that has gotten my attention. Yesterday I was on my way home from the grocery store to get some food when I notice a strange letter in my P.O. Box. There was no return address and it would appear to have been pasted up in magazine cutouts. I opened the letter the moment I got to my studies and what I read was truly disturbing.

The letter was more magazine cut outs all pasted together and was giving me a warning. It says that I have to stop looking and if I keep digging further, I'm going to regret it. It was delivered from 'a friend', at least that's what the letter said. At first I thought it was just some foolish prank from an anonymous individual. But I got a message from Celeste and she said she got that letter too. That's when I realize this was serious.

It seems that someone is threatening me, trying to make sure I don't reach my daughter. Roget blames me for it since I started this search for Rapture and she believes whoever sent this letter is probably after her too. I haven't heard from her since and I didn't get any responses after sending her a letter of apology. Even Carmady, the detective Roget hired, says that he hadn't heard from her either and warned me about the consequences. Whoever's posing this threat is forcing me to stop my search. At first I thought it was Jadeite, the mysterious person that gave me a message a while back, but he sent letters to me too and they weren't anywhere similar to the threat I got. Still, I can't let this threat get in my way. Tomorrow will be the day that I head to this hideout and find the answers I'm looking for.

…………………………………

Off topic, I got another call from someone else, a Russian judging by what I heard. I would appear that he somehow got into my phone line by intercepting some kind of radio transmission. I don't know how he did that, but it got through, mostly. Couldn't get the name of him though due to the static but I was able to get the last name, von Tal… He said that he was a friend, but I haven't met him, and he too warns me not to find Cindy. It was hard to hear through the static, but he said that she's safe and is being taken care of. Tal was about to tell me about what happened to Rapture until I heard of what appears to be a fight in the background. The line went dead soon after.

I'm starting to worry that Cindy is in danger and Rapture sounds like it went to Hell. I don't know who's protecting her, but I need to rescue her. Must call Inman about this von Tal character first, he might know something about him. Ask for me, I should head to Lutwidge's lab and start searching. Wish me luck.

End Entry…

Oh…. This gets better and better. Someone is posing threats to Mark. Who could it be? That will be answered later on. But first, the next chapter will explain what Meltzer found in the secret lab. Please Review.
