I wake up the next afternoon, entirely exhausted after spending the entire night doing my best CSI impersonation. It’s amazing what you can find on the Internet if you look hard enough. And it’s even more amazing what you can find buried within a word search puzzle from a supposedly dangerous convicted felon.

And what’s even more amazing is I don’t have to do any digging the second I look at my phone. The fruits of my labor are the lead story. Everywhere.

It took a while to find the clues I’d missed in the word search, initially only locating things I wanted to see like “baby girl”, “daddy”, “mine”, “meant to be,” “I get you”, and others, until I found things like “suspicion is debt”, “check the LLC registration”, “international wire transfers”, and a few other phrases that blew the lid off this thing.

And James’ hunches were exactly right. The judge in his initial case, who strangely still ruled over his parole hearings despite that not usually being the case, had been deep in debt all those years ago. The vacation home in the mountains, where James had sometimes slept out front, belonged to her family, although it was wrapped up in a New Mexico LLC, one of the most tight-lipped jurisdictions in the world when it comes to privacy.

It seems the family’s plan was to collect the insurance money and pay off their debts. Well, they did that, and ‘lucky’ for them they had the perfect scapegoat for the fire. James.

But they got sloppy, taking the amounts from the two insurance settlements they received and wiring them to overseas shell companies which then came back in the exact same amounts to pay off large creditors.

And sure enough, as soon as those creditors were paid off, the judge made her way up the ranks, and her first order of business seemed to be to keep James locked up where he couldn’t do any research that might uncover the truth.

But like most people in life, she underestimated me. Granted, she doesn’t even know I exist, and still doesn’t, nor does she or anyone need to…except him.

And the picture of him walking out of the jail this morning, which appears to have been taken via a long lens and unbeknownst to his knowledge, is all over the news this morning. I do find it strange that nobody interviewed him, but then again I don’t care. All I care about is he’s free, and I need to find a way to get ahold of him now…which isn’t going to be easy.

And when I do see him, because it’s no longer a matter of if, but when, I’m going to throw myself into my Daddy’s arms. He looks almost exactly like I thought he would, and despite having been incarcerated for so long he’s aged incredibly well. I make a mental note to myself that I have no excuses to ever not exercise if this man’s body is clearly still a temple after being locked
