[QUOTE="talien, post: 4013149, member: 3285"] [b]Welcome to the Show: Part 5c – Joe’s Story[/b] Finding a serial killer wasn't too hard. It was clear Jackson was taking advantage of the mess that was Katrina-ravaged New Orleans, and that he had been busy. All told, Joe connected five different murders to him. They happened every week or so, like clockwork. With overtaxed resources and a displaced population, finding Jackson wasn't going to be easy. Fortunately, luck was on Joe's side. Anyone sane in New Orleans kept a weapon with them. The ones who could afford it had sidearms. And someone finally fought back. The victim was a young African-American woman. After the police interviewed her, Joe met her at her home. "Ms. Dawson? May I speak with you?" She was scared but put on a brave front. "I just spoke to the police--" "Oh, I know." Joe put up one hand. "I'm not with the police. I'm a private investigator." He flashed his badge, hoping she wouldn't read the cornily named "X-investigations" on it. "I'm tracking down the man I think you shot." Dawson let out a deep, shuddering sigh. "Fine. You can come in for a few minutes. But please be quiet, my grandma is sleeping upstairs and I don't want to worry her about what happened tonight." Dawson served tea and they both sat down at a flimsy card table. Joe tried to project kindness. When he was built like a fireplug, it was difficult to seem anything but threatening. "So Ms. Dawson, can you explain to me what happened?" "I was...there was a man. I already described him to the police." Joe nodded. "Did he look like this?" He held up one photo they had of Jackson. "Yes, that's him." She looked at the picture curiously. "The police had to use a sketch artist." Joe flashed her a pained smile. "The agency I work for is often one step ahead of the police. I'm more interested in what you reported. You said you shot your assailant?" "Y-yes," said Dawson. "I shot him." "How many times?" She looked confused. "Ms. Dawson? How many bullets did you fire at the man who attacked you?"
