Mako's Message: ...ya know, the only thing I can think of to say is to remind you all of the 20th Chapter Bonus coming. I don't normally like to bring it up as it should be common knowledge by now and I don't like seem like I'm review begging, but I think this is one Bonus you're gonna wanna see.

Enjoy!

(God I'm tired...)


Marcus is finally acting like a cop.

Okay, that sounds way too harsh. Marcus is a good cop. Always was, especially to hear Daddy tell it.

He's acting the way you see cops on TV. Or the way I wish cops acted.

Once I was able to sit him down and explain what I'd found(a half dozen times), he finally seemed to accept that I was on to something, set up even bigger maps in his room, and started drafting a report on "his" findings and their implications. As well contacting other police districts in New York and neighboring states for more info and cases we could use to build a stronger case for my "conspiracy of killers" theory.

As much as it annoyed me that he wouldn't believe me at first, even after he fucking asked me to look into this because I had a unique perspective on the whole thing, I did enjoy getting to work with him on it. Discussing possibilities and theories, as well as clues we could use to narrow our list of kills down further, or bring ones we'd previously written off back in. Whatever could help us tighten the noose on this bastard. It was fun. Almost like father-daughter stuff.

Except, ya know, totally NOT my Father.

Anyway.

We had a Justice Forever meeting tonight. Apparently I'm not the only person who's been working on a project, because The Gentleman laid out this whole organized dog-fighting ring with different sites and the participants, and even a fucking flier for a big event calling itself "the super bowl of dogfighting".

On the one hand, I can't believe they actually made FLIERS.

On the other hand, I'm kinda pissed that I hadn't heard about this before. You'd think somebody would have mentioned it in an attempt to escape a beating or something.

Obviously I'm going to have to have words with my informants.

And maybe make a post that I'm not JUST interested in the cunts and drug busts or other organized crime.

I can't be expected to find out about this stuff all on my own, can I?

I gotta say though, it was interesting being on the receiving end of one of these briefings. Haven't had that happen since I was nine.

Anyway, he'd scouted the place out, which was a school in one of the out there districts of New York City that was closed down for one reason or another almost a decade ago, and he came up with this awesome plan. I'm pretty sure Stars helped with it, but he let The Gentleman take all the credit.

Though at the end John pulled me and Dave aside to ask why we'd never mentioned Riley before. Apparently they had "a nice long chat" at NYBC about her ideas after exchanging messages on the Justice Forever board.

Bitch is even managing to worm her way into this part of Dave's life.

Sometimes I feel like the only way I'll get Dave away from her is to kill her and I really, really don't want to do that.

Damnit.
