Innkeeper

Hans is probably right about Edmond, he's going to keep you around indefinitely. On the other hand Hans probably isn't any better. It's always possible Hans will get killed by "normal" dangers when he gets in power, but he seems pretty savvy. He's likely to stay in power long enough for you to get trapped in this life and his successor is just going to insist on your services. That's even assuming you live that long, being connected to organized crime isn't necessarily a safe way to live if you don't have the street cred and stomach for it.

You need to get rid of Hans as well and hopefully not telling him what you're exactly going to do will create that opportunity.

When you leave the hospital you enter the carriage, which is waiting for you across the street.

"I trust you got everything you need?"
"Yeah, I found something perfect to take care of our problem. He'll slowly fall asleep, then lapse into a coma then finally die."
"Perfect, I can even say his lizard killed him. I better have a crew ready to bum rush him though. He's not going to be an easy kill though."

You're glad Hans sounds pleased with this plan, the only thing you have to do now is pull off the deception. Eventually you get back to the tavern where Reg and several other Talon members are waiting.

"What the fuck took you so damn long? Edmond could've died already!"
"Sorry." You reply and head to his office.

You enter the office and the Sotakan assassin is holding a dagger to your throat already.

"Down boy, it's the doc...ugh…what the fuck took you so long? I'm dying over here!"

The Sotakan releases you and you run over to Edmond who is now lying on the floor still clutching his side.

"I'm going to give you this shot first, it'll help as an anti-biotic and to ease the pain. You might start getting sleepy though, do you someplace more comfortable to lay?"
"Yeah, I guess the sofa."

You Help Edmond to the sofa and give him the shot of Incitahol. You then begin sewing him up as quickly as possible. Normally you'd do a better job and extract the shrapnel in his body, but you figure he's going to be dead soon anyway and you need to get out of here before he starts turning.

"There you go. You should be good now, but you'll need to rest and not move too much for a few days."
"(Yawn) Not a problem. I'll probably just take care of business from here for the time being. As long I got my Sotakan whatchin' my back, I'll be fine. Damn, that shit kicks in really quick. I don't feel anything….(Yawn) Glad you could help out doc…be sure to stick around…(Yawn) might have some work for you in the…zzzzzzzzzz…"

You stand away from Edmond, give a nod to the Sotakan and then leave quickly.

"So is he asleep?" Edmond asks walking up to you.
"Yeah, won't be long…hey where's that Reg guy?" you say noticing a difference in some of the personnel hanging around the bar now.
"Don't worry about him, you just take a seat at that table over there. If need anything just let Wallace know."
"Uh, I don't think you really need me around any longer."
"Nonsense! Given what's going to go down, we might still need a doctor soon. Besides having a doctor around in the future might be useful. Sit down, you'll be fine."

You get the impression you don't have much choice in the matter so you do as Hans says. You try not to make your panic too noticeable, but you really scared about what's going to happen. What happens if Hans finds out what you did? What if something gets out of hand and you suddenly got a bunch of zombies hungry for flesh? Normally you'd probably have a drink to calm your nerves, but you're so worried about what might happen, you feel your only hope is to have all your wits about you.

Eventually Wallace gets sick of watching you and goes to talk with his brother who is currently sitting at a table with a group of other thugs telling them how they need to attack the Sotakan assassin as quickly as possible when they rush the room. You think about making a break for it, but you'd never make it.

Time passes and eventually noise is heard from Edmond's office. It's a mixture of hissing, moaning and loud crashing.

"What the fuck?" Hans says pulling out his flintlock and then looks over in your direction, you shrug your shoulders replying "I dunno."
"Come on, let's just do it!" Wallace says picking up a nearby blunderbuss.

At this point Wallace and the rest of the thugs rush into Edmond's office. Hans stays outside watching you and the both of you hear a bunch of yelling, fighting, and gunshots. Then there's silence.

"Wallace?" Hans calls out while heading towards the office.
"…ugh…yeah…I'm hurt…get the doc…" Wallace's voice calls back.

"Come on, get yer ass over here, my brother's hurt!" Wallace says. You gulp nervously and slowly make your way to Wallace

"Shit, it looks like a fucking slaughterhouse in here." Hans remarks as you both enter the room.

Hans is quite correct, the office is splattered with blood and gore with several dead bodies everywhere. Edmond, the Sotakan, and the Crimson thugs they're all dead. You notice Edmond has a head wound, the Sotakan does too, you can't tell with some of the other though until…

"OH SHIT! WALLACE!" Hans shouts as two of those bodies suddenly sit up and attack!

Hans shoots one of them in the chest, dropping it to the floor temporarily, but the other one begins munching on Wallace. His screams are enough to finally cause you to run.

"HEY YOU COWARDLY FUCK, HELP ME! AGH! MY FOOT!" Hans yells as you try to open the tavern door. Unfortunately Hans wasn't taking any chances of you attempting to escape and the door is firmly locked.

In desperation you grab a nearby chair to bust out a small window you might be able to squeeze through. You attempts are cut short when one of the zombies tackles you to the floor and take a bite out of your arm. You cries of pain are cut short when the next bite rips out your throat.

Your death is just one of the first in the zombie plague you thoughtlessly unleashed on Klyton.
