As always, we’ll find out that our crazy theories weren’t so far off, catch the bad guy, and still have time for jerk chicken and for some gloating in front of Detective Dipstick, doing our “we’re better than you” dance.  But this case, this case was the biggest of our careers, the most important to Santa Barbara... and to me.  No one could have ever imagined what would happen.  No one could have known what he was capable of.  No one believed us… until it was all over.

Spoilers for Santabarbara Town episode

My homage to the great Sherlock Holmes!

***New teaser chapter posted!***

I wasn't fine. I had almost died, and I couldn't stand that. I couldn't stand what might have happened if Carlton and Gus hadn't arrived in time. I was scarred for life, but I wasn't going to break down here. I was going to convince everyone that I was fine, and I was going to go home by myself and collapse in bed and curl up in a ball under the covers and cry for hours, and my cats would crawl onto my bed and paw at my toes and lick the tears off my face while subtly hinting for more food. I wasn't going to let anyone know of the real mental turmoil inside me, the whirlwind of emotions that was ripping me apart. I couldn't, not now, not when there wasn't anyone in the world who would understand how I felt.
