- Shit, dude, he was gonna kill me! Thanks!
- He wanted me to die… But you stopped him…
- You saved my life…
Every celebrity could be jealous of Aiden because of earning his fame in such short times. But it has made another woe for him. Several prevented crimes have made him a local meme. Some more – and there are communities and discussions on Internet. Someone has created a discussion thread in a city social network inscribing at him! Aiden have not wanted to see it by no means, but Clara advised to do that saying "will get to learn much about yourself".
Everyone has already heard of The Vigilante, right? Maybe discuss that dude? Who is he at all? Maybe someone has seen him?
Aiden has wished that was the end, but it was just the beginning of a whole avalanche of messages. Armchair warriors have been attacking as a flight of crows judging his actions from different perspectives and speculating about his motives - crazier and crazier. He has been compared with Batman and Spider-Man. Clara has marked gibingly that Pearce has been needed a headpiece with bat ears; she could help with it knowing a good e-shop with character costumes. It has had huge sells on such headpieces. Very expressive and sardonic sight seeing even in a dark skip has gave the girl to understand very clearly that that gloomy guy would shoot such headpiece or mask at once.
After third page he just has been starting to scroll inattentively endless text pieces analyzing his mental health. He has been known that it was not good. Nightmares have not stopped, not to speak of this situation. But he has been in the skip hiding from the police and waiting when a manhunt would be over. That's why he has been learning Internet discussions about himself helplessly. And has been noticed sadly the growing number of pages.
Starting from some moment his photos has been appeared in analytical text. Quirky citizens have managed to snapshoot him from every side. Although Aiden has always been trying to disappear from people in some dark and long lane, catching the sound of his name. The crowd even has found out his sweater and overcoat's trade name! There were female fans that marked his courageous side-face and exciting, in their words, stubble. And that was really scary. Having the power over the whole city's information system Aiden has been almost sure he could hide from it himself. But hide from sights of passionate admirers and execrators… never, not a chance.
Beside that there have been gentle thanks - he has never scrolled them. Aiden have knocked weapon out of murderers' hands, overtaken robbers and got people from crashed cars not for thanks and certainly not for such fame. That was his redemption, a chance to kill the pain. But that gratitude… It has given moments of oblivion too. Without pain and with felling his every action is right. But just for a moment. Then there were platitude and pain again.
Why is he doing all this?
- It's better not to know for you.
