the point of even putting on a mask after he walked around the store and was picked up on every camera there. Then he pulled out his gun and aimed it at the girl behind the counter. She started pushing buttons on the register to distract him as she reached under the counter and pulled out her own gun. Now at this point, anyone with any intelligence at all would have just left. Instead, he started yelling and waving his gun at her. Then he jerked it as he pulled the trigger and shot a stream of water at her. It startled her just enough to make her pull her trigger and shoot the kid in the chest. He’s actually lucky her gun dropped just slightly when the water hit her in the face or she would have blown his head off. Last I heard, he was just getting out of surgery and it looks like he will pull through. What a moron!
1/21/09- I can’t wait to see Justin again. It’s won’t be long now. I think Brad is definitely going to be good for him. I’ve been watching him closely. After he left the department, he started working as a personal trainer. He really is in fantastic shape. When he’s not at the gym, he’s either running, biking, hiking, or rock climbing. Justin used to love rock climbing. I think this vessel will definitely be able to build up his physical strength. I’m really glad I didn’t skip over his name on the list. I bet having him will take months off of the time needed to get Justin back into his own body. If only the other men on the list were the same. I’m trying to decide how I’m going to get this one. He was a cop, so he’ll likely be willing to assist anyone in trouble. I don’t know how the fact that he knows me is going to play into it. I think it will actually make it a little easier, but I don’t know for sure. He does run on the same trails as the last vessel, but I don’t want to grab him there. I want to keep things random and scattered so no one is able to pick up on any kind of pattern. The last thing I need is for surveillance to be put up and not to be able to watch any of the men that like to run on that trail. I will admit that it would be a little amusing to have the department out searching the woods for someone who is abducting men. They never even considered for a minute that it could be a woman who can talk them right to her car. That just shows once again how incompetent they are.
1/23/09- A task force was formed today to catch the “man responsible” for the deaths. I want to laugh every time I hear it. Detectives were pulled in from different departments to join it. In addition to the six already in homicide, I think they’ve added another five. I think one of them might just be a new homicide detective, though. He’s a young kid that I’ve seen around a few times. He ended up jumping in front of a pregnant woman and her toddler during a standoff with a guy and taking a bullet. It hit his vest, but he received a lot of publicity for it. It only helped when the woman went into labor, and he went with her to the hospital and stayed with her until she delivered. She did an interview and made a big deal about how heroic he was. She even stated that he refused to even let a doctor look at him until after her son was born. She named the baby after him. I guess the chief wanted to look good, because he immediately pushed through the papers to make him a detective. He’s only been on the force for a year! Well, other than him, I know a few people who got put on the task force. Detective Butcher is there, as well as Detective Rodriguez. Last I heard, he was working in narcotics. I wonder how he’s going to react when I take Brad. I think they worked together for a few years before he retired. Detective Ochoa has also been added. I have no idea why he’s there other than because he’s close friends with the chief. I’m pretty sure they are golf buddies. I
