The End.

THE LAST VICTIM

SEAN PORTER

Chapter One

In all the world, I am the best at what I do.

Maybe some people don’t consider what I do all that important. I’m not a doctor. I’ve never discovered the cure for any life-threatening diseases. I’m never going to write the great American novel. My name will most likely never be found in the footnotes of a history book.

What I do, is find people.

At this particular moment, I’m finding a man hiding in this out of town motel off County Road Seven. Just eight rooms out here and the guy I’m looking for is in number three. Been there for a week, dodging the police.

My business cards read Private Investigator. My business license for the state says that I’m a self-employed investigations specialist. People who hire me call me a problem solver.

I find people. I’ve dedicated my life to finding the bad people who don’t want to be found. Like Martin Cassuk here in room three.

Very few people actually know my name. I get references from friends of friends who know me as Arthur, and Arthur’s as good a name as any. It’s a name that blends in and doesn’t stand out. Like me. Light brown hair that’s not long or short. A physique that’s trim but not bulky with muscles. I’m average height, average looks, average everything. The only thing about me that stands out is the striking blue color of my eyes, but most of the times when someone gets close enough to get a good look at them, it’s when it’s too late to get away.

I’ve been hired by the police, on occasion, but they pay their checks to an Arthur Murray with a bank account that isn’t actually attached to anything except that name. If you aren’t sure who Arthur Murray is, look him up. The irony of it goes over most people’s heads. I laugh whenever I cash my checks.

Mostly, private individuals hire me. I choose my jobs very carefully. I’m not ever going to work a job that requires me to kidnap an innocent person. Never going to commit a felony or a Federal offense—not without a good reason. If your child is missing, call me and I can find them. If your ex skipped town rather than pay child support, I can find them. If a person has five outstanding warrants for assault and attempted murder and they think they can hide in a third-rate motel off County Road Seven, then I’m the guy who’s going to find him.

Not just find him. Take him into custody, and bring him to justice.

Because I’m the best there is at what I do.

The guy working the front counter for the motel is more than agreeable to take the couple hundred bucks I give him to go away for an hour. There’s a few other guests in the motel, but so long as none of them poke their heads out to see what the problem is, then they’ll be fine. I only need a few minutes.
