" Just Another Rainy Day In Riverton"
Chapter 1
It was 5:12 am and I just got home from another all-night stake out. It was in the old abandoned industrial district. I sat all night in a car with Detective Collins. It poured down rain all night and set in a creepy part of town the killer was seen in. He has been seen here a lot, but never a bite. We drank gallons of coffee from the station, but no go on seeing the killer or even a vagrant or some crazy guy yelling profanity in the street to no one. I got home feeling defeated as always. I wish I could catch the son of a bitch who killed my dad. Finding that bastard was all the reason I became a cop and moved up to become a detective. I remember wanting to be a famous bass player like Cliff Burton, he was the reason I wanted to be a bass player and a musician to begin with. Anyway, all my dreams got erasest when my dad got murdered at work in the parking lot of his accounting firm. I look at the rain through my apartment window and the troubles of the city and my life seem to be as blurry as the window I'm trying to look through.
I sit here on the corner of my bed and try to get undressed and try to get some sleep for another night of disappointment. I remember the day they found my dad murdered I was 15 and excited about what the future may hold for me. When a knock out the door it was a Riverton Detective at the door and he told my mother that my dad was murdered, right after she had just gotten off the phone frantically trying to call my dad at his office. I think his last name was Lewis or something, he retired long before I joined the force. My world was destroyed that day and a new path was forged. My mother was torn up and realized that my dad was dead. It didn't truly sink in until the day of my dad's funeral. She just stared into space, without a tear in her eye. She didn't fall apart until we got home. I remember falling asleep and dreaming about my dad's death as I could see through the eyes of the killer. Dad happened to be the killer's first victim, It seems each time I heard of a new murder from this guy, I could see through his eyes how he did it. Anyway, We were lucky my dad had a good 401K plan and retirement plan, which the Riverton Accounting Firm did give my mom. That was the only good thing out of this. My dad always said to plan for the future, you'd never know what's going to happen, boy was he, right, in such a horrible way? I need to stop thinking so much and get some sleep, good night.
