The darker side of Midsummer – behind the murders
"Cardiff is the town where I was born, where I was raised and where I thought I was going to be working my years off as a coper. But sometimes things take a very very strange turn and that is exactly what happend to me. You see, I was promoted rather quickly, it was some sort of fatherscomplex, I believe! I had a very … maybee not very, but a pretty crappy childhood. Love was not exactly what I was brought up on, more a will to do the exact opposit to how it was done in my famally. So I applied to to become a policeofficer, and it seam that was my calling. I couldn´t wait until I got to patrol the streets of Cardiff and pick my dad up and throw him in jail, and this time he might remain there. Now looking back maybee it would have been better to forget all about him, then I may still been in Cardiff. My life would have been very different, cause on june 3 2005, I came to work and I knew it would be a very hard day. " -Jones! Captains office, now! "It was the first words spoken to me that morning and it was my partner John Richardson who said ´em. I looked ove r towards the captains closed door and walked over there. I knocked on the door and was told to come in. It was completly quiet when I closed the door. " -Jones! Sit down. "The captain said and I did" -I wish I knew where to start. Do you see this pile of papers here? Do youknow what they are? "I could only quess, and I choose to say nothing." -Complaints Jones, complaints! And every single one of them has one thing in comment,you! What happen to you? Have you lost it all? Never in my years in the police have I seen sombody go from one of the best... to this! "The captain trew all the complaints on the floor. " -I have tree options with you. Fire you, suspend you or relocate... I was going to suspend you, but I change my mind. Think you need to get away from hear! "I did not beleive my ears. However must say that I knew I was lucky. The correct thing to do, was sacking me, that how much trouble I was in. But I believe that the captain had a soft spot for me, because of my dad... well because of my intire family. I had no idea that he also knew exatly where I would fit in and with who. But he did." -Pack up your things. Who knows, maybee you will come back here someday. Thats all! "The captain said and I got up. In my hand, there was a name and a number. Apparently I was going to England and Causton, in the county of Midsummer."
