Heinz has stopped pacing the room, his friend has become the point of their attention. 'What is the lead, Anne?' He blurts impatiently. Roxanne Ariosto, a dignified officer, has a lump in her throat for the first time. She knew this had to be done one day, and the day has already gone. It's time for everyone to read the evidence, Heinz has to be the first, though. In her official tone she says, 'I found this evidence. It was in my mailbox. I'm going to disclose it & close the case once and for all. But I know you've the right to know.' She produces the letter neatly folded in her handbag covered in the EVIDENCE bag and hands it over to Heinz. 'Now I need to go on an assignment. See you soon, Diablo. I'll be back to take the evidence.' She gives Heinz...

Dr. Zelia Zhang is stupefied, but not completely. She's analyzing Heinz Schofield, a man who's been in solitude for quite a long time. A psychopath, she thinks. But he's right, he cannot be able to do it on his own. No, Zel, no! If he's a murderer of three then you know better than believing him.  She's inclining on sentencing him as a psycho and leave, that's not going to be an easy task, she knows. Why did I tell her about hacking in police database. She won't believe me, never. That's what I always do, push people away who try to help me. There's her secret with me, though. Of course, I can't tell Dr. Zhang who's giving me, a civilian, inside information. Heinz is blankly staring Zelia, her cat-like sharp eyes are penetrating him. Peeping...

I hold back the urge to panic. The man who I was sent to have a session with, by his parents since he has cancelled all the appointments they made with me, previously, seemed only a shy introvert, now a murderer?  'So you couldn't get your revenge?' I ask keeping my tone even, an unfazed smile stuck on my face. 'Oh yes, of course I did.' He's laughing, like he knows something that I don't. 'But didn't he jump off the building?' 'That he did, but that doesn't mean I didn't have my revenge.' He sits at my feet, his hands on my knees. 'Dr. Zhang, you're doing something that's changing me. Why didn't you meet me before all this happened.' A tear runs down his cheek, he makes no effort to hide it. 'Before what happened, Diablo?' 'Before...

"Not even travelled through a plane you say?" "Sir no, sir." "This is gonna be fun." Then Kane turned his back & everyone laughed.  ** 'That's where it started?' She asks me. The noise of her pen running against the paper is audible even when she's across the room, sitting in front of me. There's a scar on her index finger, probably a burn. By the look of it, one can wager it is old- Yes, a good decade or so. 'Are you with me, Mr. Heinz?' The name makes me recoil. 'Call me Diablo, please. I hate those 5 letters together. H-E-I-N-Z!' It's rude! No, I should apologize. 'Sorry.' I whisper & chew on the dead skin near my nail. 'It's okay, Diablo. Let this be. I'm bored, you want to play?' She points her gaze towards...
