Mad World: A New Day
After arriving at Abraham, Peter headed straight to the local bar: Morti's. He pulled up a stool alongside local man Michael Caldwell, and the two began to talk about local conspiracies, immediately establishing a friendship.

As they're about to continue their conversation, Peter's informant shows up in a black vehicle, prompting Peter to bid Michael farewell, and to leave the bar. The two men drive off to the outskirts of Abraham. During the drive, Pete asks a series of questions only to get a series of cryptic answers in return. Annoyed by the lack of communication, Pete cuts the interview short by demanding whether or not the government were covering something up. The informant replies stating that the public would be in hysteria if they knew the truth about their place in the universe, when Pete pushes the question further, the man pulls out a gun and shoots Pete multiple times in the chest. Seemingly killed, the informant pushes Pete's body out of the car and leaves him to rot.
