I don't want him falling off the rails and do something crazy or stupid, or both.But there are days like today that we have nothing else to do. And I still chose to stay at the station. I don't even understand why because I can go home early or go somewhere else. Yet, I'm still here, sitting in my desk going through all the information we have gathered. Even though we've gone through all of it, and I know that doing this is just plain stupid."Chris, Oliver, we're going to the pub. You guys wanna come?" Norman announced on his way to the lobby."Oli, let's join them. Come on." Oliver was busy watching all the traffic cam footage he gathered yesterday. He wanted to see if he can map out the locations that the pick up truck had visited."I've got a lot things to do, Chris. You go ahead and enjoy.""Oh, come on. Aren't your eyes hurti

Especially, after Guzman recognized the victim as one of the missing person he's been working on. Turns out that the serial killer is widening it's range. Because the last victim was from the town next to Burton Grove. Because of this, I don't have any other choice but to work with Guzman.Guzman, who is miraculously not acting like the jackass he is. I've been working with him since yesterday, and he was behaving nicely. He's also being unnaturally cooperative. Maybe, Kevin wants to catch the serial killer as much as I do. That we finally found a common ground."Hey, Chris! Check this out." I was in the middle of making my coffee when I heard Kevin calling me."Yeah?""That pick up truck you've been obsessing about? It looks like it's been seen in multiple places. Look, this is from a highway near the reservoir.
