we didn't get any cards at the office for several months, then a little bundle arrived in quick succession.

the author ran out of room to type each section on the small cards, and the final sentences, pencil-written, crawl back up along the sides to the tops.

The Joe Lose case 11-03=09 report by O.L. Gumshoe Jr. update

After shaking Joey down a few times, I finally got the break in the case I've been waiting for.Compiled a trail of evidence on the murderers son showing where he was and when.Soundtrack: I'll Be There by Micheal Jackson. As I reflected upon this, I began to examine the case from different angles.This was useful in determining his perspective.Like father, like son. Same emotional makeup.It afforded me a window inside the murderers mind so I could anticipate his next move and be one step ahead of him. To make this work, I had to pace myself. Not pushing too hard too soon.While I was gathering evidence,I had to make it appear as if nothing in his life had changed significantly.He couldn't handle too much truth too soon. Soundtrack: I am sailing. I am sailing through the dark night across the sea I am sailing to a distant shore, home to you. The realizations had to come over him slowly, little by little.Memories of past history between people builds trust in relationships and forms a bond.I was an outsider, unknown to him.I had reached a part of his subconscious mind. Establishing common groumd was no small accomplishment. It was a milestone.I realized it when his demeanor towards me changed. He seemed protective of me. Sights, sounds and even smells can trigger memories and cause an emotional reaction.It was the same voice that sang when he was a child.The most serious repercussion I had to consider was that Joey would lose respect for me and deny me the chance to continue the investigation.Lives are destroyed because people get tired of each other. Somebody wanted to be rid of the victim, because he knew the truth. Now, I know too.
