"But you said you were keeping marks still, did you find a new place? Could I.." You swallow the bile. "Could I come and pay my respects?"

"You'll have your chance, in the end. There isn't much point in me staying still, it'd only increase the odds of me being found eventually, so I make sure to carry them with me."

Something about the way he says it sends a chill down your spine as your upper body begins to tingle and itch.

"So there's no plan..." As the pieces come together so does an understanding that rattles your core.

He's not a super-villain, or an ego-maniac, or an idiot. He's competent and highly motivated with an understanding of police procedure. There's no grand plan, just a methodical extermination of anyone he can get away with killing before 'the end' comes.

"Nope!" He chirps over the phone. "I just keep myself limited to the dredges and the politicians probably praise my work behind closed doors. They're in no hurry to stop it and when a drop-head is found dead in the Narrows it isn't so much 'Breaking News!' as it is... Tuesday."

"Jesus Christ..." You mutter, unable to stop yourself.

"I know! Bunch of bastards... but the worst of all is Dent. The lack of cameras in his face and protesters on the lawn means your SIM Taskforce has a snowball's chance of getting approved for additional funding or manpower. I'll be able to move freely, saving the people they look down on the most, and when judgement day comes Dent and all the others will be in their offices wishing someone had saved them."

Your hand clenches, you can hear the grin etched into his face as he envisions his little future. You push it aside and keep your mind organized... you have a victim preference and that's more than nothing. On top of that he mentioned the Narrows specifically, it could be his hunting grounds for now, but how long will he stick around there before moving along?

"Anything else, Mark? Not to sound ungrateful, I'm glad you're being open minded with me, but you caught me at a weird time."

>"So are they the only people you're going after? The poor and lower-class? Nobody else?"
>"You said you were 'keeping them with you' earlier. What do you mean by that?"
>"On Halloween night I saw some strange things... did you notice anything off?"
>"How many people have you saved so far?"
>"You may not have any plans for Dent but I know your father did. Mandragora was working with a man named Kal Late, do you know anything about that?"
>"Any chance we can meet? I'm trying to be open minded like you said but.. I need to look you in the eyes. See that you're for real."
