This is the prefect of Paris. It has come to my attention that this journal of my deceased subordinate has been left hanging, so to speak. Thus it follows that it is my duty as his superior to complete this matter and so doing, lay him to rest.
Inspector Javert had been assigned to spy on the insurgents at the Rue Saint Denis barricade by he was caught and sentenced to die. Miraculously he had not been killed, in fact his life was spared and him set free. This he had confessed to me after he had been released from the barricade.
His speech and form were as usual, stoic, when he reported but his eyes were strange; they seemed troubled. What could have caused their usual clarity to be dimmed, I do not know. That was unlike Javert but I knew better than to interrogate him. I let it be; he would not have said a thing even if I had asked. Shortly, he returned to his rounds.
That was the last time I saw him alive.
I was informed that his body was found floating in the river a few days after his disappearance. His funeral was duly arranged and executed as befitting an officer of his rank. This journal, along with his cap, was found on the end of the Quai des Ormes and delivered here by a gamin (name unknown).
France has lost a great officer.
A/N: well that's over... Thanks to everyone who read this!
