CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Back at the precinct, Ella laced herself with caffeine and got to work. Ripley sat opposite doing exactly the same, equally as perplexed by the absurd paragraphs forcing their way into her eyeballs as Ella was. The notes began five weeks ago, when Gary’s house had first burned down, and somehow he’d filled six-hundred pages in less than forty days. He’d documented absolutely everything that happened in his life during this short period, and the result was the most perplexing, badly written autobiography ever self-published.

“I hate to speak ill of the dead,” Ripley said, “but this guy was batshit insane.”

Ella said, “It’s weird. He seemed mostly fine when I spoke to him. At least until he started screaming.”

Ten minutes into reading, Ripley said, “I can’t take much more of this. This should be the plot of the next Saw film. Read five minutes of this garbage. People would tear their eyeballs out.”

Ella struggled to disagree. As it turned out, Gary Weathers was perhaps the most paranoid man to ever live, and he seemed to think that a cult were following his every move and leaving behind cryptic clues of their activities.

“You got to the cult part?” Ella asked.

“Yes. I’m ready to kill myself.”

“You know there’s never been any Satanic cults proven to exist? There’ve been groups of teenagers who’ve sacrificed animals and things, but no actual, mass-scale cults ever discovered?”

Ripley downed what remained of her coffee and said, “I was a police officer in the eighties, Dark. Believe me, I know. The quack psychologists that peddled that crap set behavioral science back about a hundred years.”

Ella was desperate for a distraction from the task, anything. “That long, you think?”

Ripley picked up the notebook and slammed it back down. “Thirty-five years later and we’re still fighting this crap. In fact, it’s worse than ever because these days everyone wants to think they’re important, so they call themselves…” Ripley flipped back a page. “Targeted individuals. These people need to learn that sometimes you’ve gotta eat shit and like the taste.”

Ella fought back a grin. “Nothing useful so far, then?”

“No, and I’m giving it five more pages before I bow out. There’s a killer out there and we’re nose deep in some lunatic’s ramblings.”

“It was your idea,” Ella laughed.

“And I regret it. Please forgive me.”

“Five more pages, then we’re out.” Ella carried on reading, trying to concentrate in spite of the incomprehensible prose and general lack of direction. The man seemed to jump from one topic to the next without any segues or fluidity.

What is the war between good and evil? Evil is fake, that’s why, but you do not need to tell me your logic. If you’re using God to hurt people you’re really evil. Why are people like me targeted? This is the basis of this attack. It’s not only the government, although they use those channels (police, FBI, courts, electric bill, or any other workers). They need to get ready for all of us in hell and so they are saved by the coming of God.
