He left a note for me.

Who left a note for you?

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

A murderer I put away that was recently paroled.

[and-twosyllable.livejournal.com]

Oh, your parolee. He's sick. That's not cool. It sounds like something out a serial killer biopic.

Are you OK?

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

*pauses, looks at him* I'm sorry, but, do I know you?

[and-twosyllable.livejournal.com]

No, I mean I know one of your friends and you obviously post here - so I lurk at times. I'm Ford.

I think you're hunting my ex-roommate John - the pyrokinetic guy - or you were.

Sorry to be so -- sometimes I forget manners altogether, I blame it on the late hour and lack of sleep but either way, I apologize for being so - in your life when I'm...not.

Oh. You know Murphy, then. And Mr. Allerdyce, I was assisting Murphy for a bit. Mostly providing a psych workup and shelter in New York.

Don't worry about it. I was just wondering if we'd met and I'd forgotten your name. Detective Anna Morasca... though you've probably gathered that.

[and-twosyllable.livejournal.com]

Yes, Lieutenant Murphy. And John, yeah. He's basically psychotic.

I have but it's nice to have an introduction to respond to. Yeah, I'm actually a P.I. - setting up my offices at the moment. And psychic...

Your parolee?

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[rgoren-nypd.livejournal.com]

At the 2-7?

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

I found it on my desk when I went into work this morning. He picked a time when hardly anyone was around to bring it in, cause no one remembered anything when I got in at seven.

[rgoren-nypd.livejournal.com]

How did no one recognize him? If he were any other murderer, he'd blend in, but this guy... this guy has been splashed across every news channel.

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

They weren't paying attention or he wore a disguise. I don't know.

Don't you think I'd look into that, Goren?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Wanna trade? My pyromaniac fugitive for your paroled wack-job?

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

I'll take which ever one will make Don worry the least.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I don't think either will make him not worry.

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

Hence the part about making him worry the least.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

I think if you took on a guy who shoots flames, he'd probably worry more.

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

Point taken.

[flack]

A note, huh?

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

*sighs* I know that look. Yes, a note. It said, "You don't have to be home for me to find you."

Before you say anything, I'm sure it's him. I know the handwriting. I went over this with Angell.

[flack]

That's not a good sign, Anna.

[Locked]

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

I know, Don. I know. He's trying to scare me.

I'll come straight home from work, okay? No side-trips, if that makes you feel better?

Re: [Locked]

[flack]

It does. And call if you're gonna get held up, alright? So I'm not going out of my mind.

Re: [Locked]

[vivo-per-ardua.livejournal.com]

I'll call you if anything happens, I promise. Are you okay?

I'll wait outside the building if you're not home to buzz me in when I get there.

Te amo, bello.
