Rob parked his car across the ‘Dahlia Dancers’, tapping the steering wheel anxiously. A police 봉고차, 반 was parked right in front of the club.
His phone rang in his pocket, and he pulled it out quickly.
“What’s going on?” he asked nervously.
“You don’t want to come in here” Claudia replied vaguely. Then she elaborated: “One of the girls talked. The feds are all over the place. They want to talk to you”
“I’ll talk to them, alright?” Rob promised. “I just need to get something first. Can 당신 buy me some time?”
“What about tonight? We’re supposed to open in an hour” Christina pointed out.
“Cancel the whole thing” Rob sighed frustrated. “Call the girls off” He hung up, hit the steering wheel a few times, and then leaned back against the seat.
He started the engines and drove away. He parked his car in the 거리 where Annabel lived. Rob kept 태그 on all his female patients of every single institution he had worked at. And, although Annabel had never been required material, right now she might come in handy. 또는 at least, something she had.
He would wait until the lights went out, before he made his move. Then, much to Rob’s relief, the front door opened, and Annabel and her boyfriend left the house.
“Please, take your time” Rob muttered a little prayer.
He got out of the car, and tried to walk as fast as possible, without looking suspicious. He tried the door and, surprisingly, it opened. Someone was being very sloppy. He walked inside and let the door close behind him. Don’t have a dog, he begged in thought.
Inside the living room, he switched the lights on, and headed for the nearest drawer. He pulled all of them out completely, and turned them upside down, their content pouring on the floor. He didn’t have to look very thorough. He knew exactly what Deb’s sketchbook looked like.
If he could get his hands on it, he could prove to the FBI that Deb had a really violent imagination, and a special hatred toward men.
But after searching the entire house , and even the 차고 and the pavilion, he still hadn’t found the damn thing.
That could only mean one thing; Annabel had it with her. He could wait for her, but he didn’t want a confrontation with her boyfriend. That one looked rather tough.
He walked to the phone, and grabbed the phonebook with numbers of family, and friends. He dialed a 랜덤 number.
“Good evening, Mrs. Bollock. My name is Derek. I’m a friend of Annabel’s” Rob came up with a quick lie. “I’m standing in front of their house, but no one’s answering. Do 당신 have any idea where I might find them?”
The person on the other end of the phone told him about a café, a few blocks away.
Rob said a quick thank you, and then hung up. “Gotcha” he gloated.

Rob returned with a notepad, and a pen. He gave both items to Deb and sat down. “They’ll be here soon” he explained. “They asked if 당신 could write your statement down, and sign it. It would save them some time, and they would see it as a sign of cooperation. It’s really important that 당신 cooperate, Deb. Do 당신 understand that?”
Deb nodded scared. What the hell had she gotten herself into?
Rob nodded at the notepad. “Just remember what I told you, and write it down”
Deb gazed at the notepad, swallowed, and opened it. The blank page, staring back at her, looked so uninviting she wanted to shut the book, and smash it against the wall.
“You can do it” Rob encouraged her softly. “I’ll be with you, every step of the way”
Those words seemed to do the trick, because Deb conjured a faint smile, and started writing…
