wouldn’t put it past the chief to move him over just as a favor. I’m not really complaining, though. I don’t have a problem with him appointing people who have no great abilities to contribute. It will just make my job easier. With any luck, having a rookie and a worthless old bag on the team will actually be more of a distraction than anything else. Honestly, Butcher is the only one I really worry about. Though she is actually a capable detective, I’m more concerned with her going feminist in the group full of men and offering up the idea that a woman would be more than able to be responsible. I need to think of a way to distract her. Maybe I can tell her I heard a few of the guys talking about how pretty she is. I’m sure that will do the job. While I’m at it, I should see if there’s any way I can distract the others. I’m going to have to be really careful with it, though. They can’t even suspect for a second that I’m doing anything. Matthews is a pretty savvy man. Maybe I’ll send flowers to his wife with a sweet card so he’ll think she’s having an affair. With the way he dotes over her, I’m sure that will occupy his mind instead of the case. I just need to see what I could do with the others.
1/26/09- I spent the day following the vessel around. I must say, I wouldn’t have expected it would be so easy to tail an officer. Even a former one. I guess that’s small town living, though. Even with the news talking about the “Pirate Killer” every other day, people are still just as carefree as they were before. I guess they actually believed Detective Wilcome when he said they were on the trail of the guy. I’ll show them. They have faith in the department now, but I’ll make sure that changes. They’ll see that it’s the department who is really killing these men. It’s just one big Pirate Killer!!!
1/27/09- Seriously?! There were two officers caught making out in one of the back rooms today. I know, high school’s over! But they were busted by the chief himself. He then proceeded to pull them out in front of everyone and very publically let them go. This is total crap! You can’t help who you fall in love with. They have no right to force these restrictions on us. Nothing good has come from that stupid rule. Look at those two officers today. They lost their jobs just because they followed their hearts instead of that idiotic rule. I just can’t believe they enforced it. It’s not like the hours we work really allow much time to socialize. It’s either people from work or guys from the bar. Even then, the majority of the men at the bar work in the station. I’m going to make them pay for this!
1/30/09- I feel so exhilarated right now! Since I was scheduled to work the afternoon shift, I got up early this morning and tracked down Brad. It wasn’t hard to do. He was just where I thought he would be. I checked out the gym last week and made sure there were no cameras. I guess that’s another perk of small town living. Well, I knew that he always opened by himself on Friday mornings, so I waited in the parking lot. I opened the trunk and locked the doors of the car so it would look like I had locked myself out. As expected, he came right over after he pulled into the parking lot. He recognized me right away and chuckled with me as I explained that I had thought the gym was already open and was looking forward to getting a workout in before my shift. I told him I popped the trunk to get my bag but accidently locked the keys in. He told me it wasn’t a problem because there was a latch in the trunk to drop down the back seat. When he leaned in to show me, I injected him. He just collapsed right in and I was able to get him in and leave the note on the door before more than a few minutes passed. I’m glad I didn’t hang around any longer. I had barely made it to the
