There was a board with a single line down the middle.It was split into two categories—Good Girls and Bad Girls.There was a picture on each board.
“Yeah, this piece of shit has done this before,” Cyrus said.
“And he documents this shit,” Daniel said, coming down, carrying several notebooks and what appeared to be photograph albums.
Cyrus had a feeling he didn’t want to see what was in either of those damn books, but he had no choice, so he took them from Daniel, and sure enough, it was fucking disgusting.Luke liked to play with these underage girls, take explicit pictures, treat them like toys for his own amusement.
“Okay, so he has clearly killed a couple of girls.There is no way he is going to let this shit go,” Cyrus said.
“What do we do?”Hank asked.“We kill him, and he doesn’t come back here, they’re going to find it.What do we do?”
“Do you think he’s got a killer instinct?”Daniel asked.
“The dude is fucking sick,” Cyrus said.
“Yeah, there is no denying that, but what if these girls are still alive?”Daniel asked.“He punishes them, but what if he is building himself a harem?”
“A harem of non-consenting women?”Hank asked.
Daniel shrugged.“I don’t know.Something just doesn’t feel right.He plays with them, but there are no weapons on display.Nothing to make them afraid.They have rewards.I don’t think he has killed them, but where are they?”
“He’s the only one with the answers,” Cyrus said.“Why did he have to come through our fucking town?”Now he was pissed off because they were not looking for trouble.What they didn’t like was men or women coming to their town to cause trouble.This was different.There was no way they were just going to allow a helpless woman to be hurt.None of them would be able to live with themselves, even if she wasn’t a local.That shit didn’t slide with any of them.
“I don’t like this,” Hank said.
“None of us like this,” Daniel said.“Fuck me.”
They all stared at one another.Killing this piece of shit would be easy for all of them, but right now they needed to find those women.
“I guess we’ve got to head back home and start doing some investigating,” Cyrus said.
Hank had gone and stood in front of the board where it displayed a good girl and a bad girl.
“You’d think if the girl was good, she would have been kept here, maybe with some television, or some ice cream or shit.His rewards are clearly displayed for all to see.Yet, none of them are here, why?”
“Maybe they were both bad, which is why he went to a different town and started to search.”
“We need to talk to that other woman,” Daniel said.“See if she said anything.”
“She’s already gone home to her parents, and other than the fact he kidnapped her, she didn’t know anything,” Cyrus said.“Remember.All he kept telling her was to be a good girl.”
Daniel shook his head.
Hank had moved on from the good and bad girl board, and started to look around the basement.
“Be careful, you don’t know what kind of traps this man has set,” Daniel said.
“Dude, he hasn’t set many traps, look around you.”Hank frowned.“I’m trying to think of myself in terms of a weird dude.”
“A weird dude?”
“I kidnap women in order to build up my own special harem.I keep them locked in the basement and give them rewards for good behavior.However, assuming both my current women have been bad girls, it’s time to bring in someone else,” Hank said.
It painted a messed-up picture.
“Sure, I’m prone to violence, but I don’t kill my girls.However, they’re bad girls right now, and I want to add to them, so what do I do?I have to stash them.”
Cyrus saw what he was doing.
