I tried something...a little different this chapter, so, if you notice something a little off, it was probably intentional. Feel free to comment on whatever you feel worth commenting on.

Tonight was fucking weird even for us.
It's like Chris broke through the depravity barrier or something and now all these assholes are just pouring through.
I actually kinda wish that was true. Then maybe by killing him we could cut off the evil at it's source. But there've been seriously demented and twisted fucks since the beginning of time.
Nothing is ever easy.
So we're out on patrol, checking on a few places that've been getting harassed, keeping an eye out for trouble, ya know, the usual.
Then we come to this alley and there's this big group of people gathered around one of the dumpsters. Some people are taking pictures, some are crying off to the side, some are just standing around talking.
So we go to take a look and see what's going on. About halfway there one of them spots us and yells, "Kick-Ass! Hit Girl! You gotta see this shit!"
So now everybody's talking even more and making a path for us to the dumpster, and we go over and look in, and there's a dead body. Nothing special, right? We see this all the time, right?
Nope.
Fucker had his heart cut out. Big, gaping hole, right in his chest. Looked like he got stabbed with a giant apple corer.
There was surprisingly little blood. But I guess that makes sense, because if the heart is gone, the blood will stop flowing and just leave what's in the body to run out on it's own.
So, I called Marcus while Dave started questioning people about the body. Who found it, when they found it, did they have any idea when it got there, did anybody touch it, that sort of thing. The answers were a busboy from the restaurant the dumpster was behind, about half an hour ago, within the last six hours, and no.
Marcus wasn't happy about this. Apparently this wasn't the first one since he mentioned it to me a couple weeks ago. So either this guy is getting sloppy, or he's striking more often. If it's the first one he should be behind bars soon. If it's the other...we'll probably be seeing a lot more bodies.
We stuck around to make sure nobody did anything stupid with the body until the cops came and then we gtfo.
Shit I'm tired.
