[Thanks to bloody reenactment of a distributing classic scene taking place practically in his own 'backyard' (i.e. the surrounding forest of that particular area), Luke has kept silent about and away from home so as to avoid inadvertently tipping off the Police Force to the house's existence. Incompetents do not welcome visitors make. There's also a concern that the discovery could open a door, both literally and figuratively, to poking about in his personal business.

Fortunately, Len-Len stuffed full with tribbles, won't need attending for awhile.

Unfortunately, today's curse has added to Luke's annoyance by raining down dozens of an ominous photo from his past throughout the City. There is a silver lining; no obvious link to him, plus it's mixed with others' countless snapshots.

He periodically checks the 'downpour' on the pretext of general curiosity. So far, nothing else of his has appeared.

Latest check turns up an unexpected follow-up to an earlier tantalizing memory.]

Having an off day, Mr. Valentine?

~~Yes.~~ Not really. Merely annoyed at myself for both leaving the device out and pointing at me.

Can address me by first name if you wish.

Very well. Luke, wasn't it?

[Private.]

Tell me. Have you chanced upon any photographs of myself? Or...Solomon? In the interest of not being locked up again, I suppose I should stay vigilant.

Yes, Karl.

(Private)

You're already locked up so to speak. No need to be concerned over that.

I'm well aware of that. I have my dear brother to thank for it.

~~Correction: Got the damn girl to thank for it.~~

Do you ever get a reprieve?

I'm free to hunt monsters in the Underground. But it lacks the requisite thrill of stalking human prey, I'm afraid.

There are humans on First Level. It's easy to tell the difference between the locals and 'meals' - topsiders.

Hm.

I suppose my problem is -I believe Mr. Corpseblight said it - I'm indiscreet. In my world, that wasn't too much of a bother. But here, amazingly, every man-jack likes taking the moral high-ground.

It's even rubbed off on Solomon.

The Network's been a gruesome place, lately.

So it would seem.

Something on your mind, Luke? I'm listening.

~~How awkward.~~

That photo? Nothing of mine, just happen to be looking at it is all.

Mmmhm [He doesn't believe you, Luke and it's obvious he doesn't.] A voyeur, are you?

[Real smooth there, Jack]

I'm not now nor have ever been the sort to find this type of subject matter stimulating in that way. Disappointed?

[He does try.]

Disappointed in you? Not yet. In what way would you find it stimulating then, Luke Valentine? Just out of curiosity.

Am merely puzzled. It is an odd photo, 'Sergent Friday'.

Dragnet fan? You just keep surprising me, Luke. And it is an odd photo. Although I have to admit that I think it means more to you than you're letting on. Why stare at that photo out of all the photos in the City today? It's curious, a little mysterious, and obviously not something you want to talk about.

You are aware of the recent spat of murders? 'Pound(s) of flesh' may or may not be connected to them.

Oh, that's quite a huff.

[He slide this photo he found on the table before him to show.]

Look familiar?

That it does.

You should this very interesting: *Unprivatizes&Downloads*

And you think this is related?

It is.

You have the name?

No; don't know who it is.
