[OpNet] I never thought I'd be saying this...

But, it looks like I'm against a wall and looking for help. Namely from those who can sniff out low-lifes or at the very least get info on them.

Recently, the Police Chief of Minneapolis, desperate, sent me to find some clues on a serial killer. Now, my record with the MPD isn't sterling, in fact alot of them won't even give me the time of day, and I find myself getting moving violations more often lately. But, that's beside the point. The type of quarry I'm looking for isn't high enough up there for my friends in high lpaces to help, and this guy hasn't got any connections low enough for me to trail. The evidence the MPD was [sarcasm]so gracious enough[/scarcasm] to share with me is practically useless.

So, I'm doing something I'm usually reluctant in doing. I'm requesting some help. I'd ask the local MuniDef, but he's one egg shot of a dozen sitting in County General with a straitjacket.

Any takers?

I'm on it like King Kong on the ESB, DG.

Six months of interrogating one of the brainiacs down in Your Friendly Neighbourhood Bahrain Facility has built up a lot of negative energy within me. Getting a good bead on the Spin in Minn could be just the kind of release valve I need.

And it turns out my carry permit for a pocket-sized coilgun is still valid. Go me.

Set a thief to catch a serial killer, as they don't say. You need a hand chatting to the local criminal element I'm your man. Ex-pat mate of mine lives out there, keeps his fingers in several import/export pies, if you get what I mean.

Anything specific you need to know?

Here's what little I know.

1: The psycho is a Mite-head gone loco. At least that is what I'm being told. The thing is the guy was responsible for making the resident MuniDef for ending up flying over the cookoo's nest. So I have my doubts that is correct.

2: He operates along the Lake Street commercial corridor, usually in the back alleys. You'd think after all the revitalization they've done up in there that you'd be able to walk that boulevard without some kevlar underpants. But, I digress. He has been usually killing prostitutes, but what really got things moving was when he killed a bystander. A minor. That stuff usually lights the fire up under anyone's ass.

3: Some believe if he's a Mite addict, he probably also takes soma. That'd explain his erratic pattern of attacks.

4: This guys MO: Crush skulls, then vanish like smoke.

West McLoud: smile I like your style, friend. I'm still starting to gather evidence, but an extra hand would be GREATLY appreciated. I will just need about a week to get my ducks in a row.

Doc Troll: Possibly, maybe not. Like I said, I gotta get more info.

Sphere: I'll need some info on a man who operates the local Soma racket. Unfortunately, I don't even have a name.

Jager: Appreciate it bud.

Yeah, I'll be watching my ass untill I arrange the proper backup.

The police want him alive (all that justice and stuff), but, if he resists... *wink wink, nudge nudge*

And Lemmy, I might collect. I hate scum like this. And it'll take every ounce of will just to hold back enough to bring his carcas in.

I say burn the piece of garbage. But it being America, I'm sure he'll burn if he's found guilty anyway. Better that way, keeps your hands clean.

DigiGeist, I've been chatting to my mate. He says there's only a very limited market for Soma in Minneapolis. The fatality rate of that crap alone tends to put all but the hardcore mitoids off. But there have been several shipments of the stuff coming in to town. The guy handling them goes by the name of Henry Simms, he's an enforcer for the local branch of the C-Z Megasyndicate so watch your step with him. "The Family" can get pretty protective.

If you want to meet him on neutral ground, give me a shout and I'll have my boy arrange it. Alternatively I can go and chat with him, he might respond better to someone with a record.

All I needed was a name. There is a reason part of my name means "Ghost". 1: I've been dead once, and 2: No one really knows when I'm watching them.

I don't want to speak to the guy. I wanna start tracing the leads from him. Sooner or later, my quarry heads to the feeding ground. After he leaves, that is when I'll move.

Unfortunately, he's been too quiet lately.

As for the"Family" being protective... I don't fear death. If I fall, it's just the grim reaper coming to collect.

If the grim reaper comes near me, I'll rip his tits off, heh.

Serious though, I'm going to head over to my mate's place and have a word in private. Maybe check out a few leads. You never know your luck.

Psychos like this give professional criminals like me a bad name. So I'm happy to lend a hand in his capture.

Jager, I do give Sphere credit. Where it's due.

Now for Preston.

What I know has already been said. Now I'm doing legwork. Too bad I'm burning calories for no damn reason at the moment. Especially when trodding through half a foot of snow. Not that I mind the cold, I don't even feel it. But anyways, I'm just doing what god investigators do, try to find leads and follow them through.

So far there is only one gold thread I got. And, I hope you understand that I keep it under my hat untill I can meet with someone in person. This isn't a secure forum, like some Novas here think it is. It's better that I play it safe than reveal my position and endanger myself. Yes, it's that risky.

Althugh, over a private line that I HAVE secured I might give you some details.

Jager, this is a slow process for me too. But, the legwork is envigorating, and the hunt itself is oh so sweet. Sorta makes me feel like have a nemesis. Sort of like Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty. Of course, Moriarty wasn't a serial killer.

I guess Ijust like this stuff...

Don't get too in love with the tosser, DigiGeist. I just spent a couple of days chatting to the pimps and hookers around town. Spoken to a couple of girls who knew the victims. It's surprising how much people talk when they know you ain't working for The Man.

Because it sounds like he might be a paying customer. The victims had all recently started seeing a regular they described to their friends as "Massive, like a bodybuilder. But a real peewee between the legs." He didn't (couldn't?) do any more than watch 'em strip for him.

Jager, some stereotypes of Minnesotans are true. We are heartier than most. That, and Minneapolis natives tend to be more oblivious than others. Although he's getting known as the "muscle head with nothing to show for it", so far no one is connecting the brick with the killer. I guess that's my job, huh?

Anyways, thanks for the info.

Oh, and Sphere, how did you like Minneapolis? Cold enough for you?
