On November 1, 1985, Rorschach and Nite Owl interrogated an employee of Pyramid Deliveries who revealed that he had been ordered to hire Chess for a hit and give him a brown envelope. He protested that he didn't know Chess had attempted to assassinate Veidt, and he demanded protection, as he was a part of Veidt's ultimate plot and would have to be eliminated. Veidt later explained to them, that Chess did not commit suicide with the capsule, but that Veidt had fed it to him.
