He went to where Alice was seated. And strangled her. The friend watched in horror, but didn't do anything or try to help. She took a step back with a hand on her chest.

After, he left. Drove in the car off the highway wondering. Why'd he do that? Did he really need to be just like the Blue Man? Was there any point in being fearful of the man in the expensive suit? Couldn't he just carry on with his life? Why the hell did he have to kill that woman. Now he was stuck in this. Now they had him.

Had he just gone about his day then they wouldn't have anything to hold over his head. But after the murder, he was in the game.

When the man in the expensive suit had said to him, one day you'll be mine, he didn't believe it. He couldn't imagine how he'd ever want to be that guy's lackey.

That night a henchmen showed up at his door. Right around dinner time.
