 		E-mail Response
Got an return on an e-mail I sent.

Quote:
Dear XXXX,

Thanks for showing an interest. Most of the excess e-mails I have received do not warrant a response but your question is fair.

I was once investigating a case involving a small time crook and his heavy headed ring but it went belly up and now I have 'problems'.

See it went much deeper than I originally planned, I have given up on the law, I followed it up till now and look where it's got me.

Do I make sense XXXX?

The truth is what each person makes it in their own right. No single person decides that.

- -Andy


There is the statement "Do I make sense" again. Maybe that's a "tick" with this guy, like it's a constant concern. Ah, well... I'll reply when I get home tonight.

E-mail sent:

Quote:
Sounds like you have a decision to make, much like in your dream about the two towers. In fact, one could make the assumption that each tower represents one of those decisions while the other tower represents the other.

The fact that the towers in your dreams appear to be the same means, to me, that you view each course of action (whether to follow the law or not) the same.

Pay close attention to your dreams for the light shall shine brighter in one tower then the other. Then you will know which tower to choose. As that happens, prepare a journal in order to write down your thoughts about the law at the time the dream was occurring. This should give you a better understanding of which tower represents which course of action.

Once you know which tower represents what, try not to think about the law at all, in any form of action. When the dream occurs look for the light to shine. Then you will know the correct course for you.

I hope that this helps you come to some conclusions about your life.

Feel free to contact me whenever if any other questions arise in the near future.

 		Ahm. I have some strange feeling that this one turns out to be something different.

Draghkar you got a reply to your comment. It reads:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Drakhar, don't play with fire. And my dreams are the least of my problems now


This is an email, i got in reply:

Patrick...

Patrick, Patrick... ah, the one who goes by the name of PatRol
right?

I still got it Wink

The Watcher just happens to be the unfortunate one who I 'used' to
get back at a so called 'friend' of mine.

Dont get me wrong, its nothing personal, but in this line of
business you learn how to be a 'user'.

God I hope this works.

Andy must watch the forums, since he does know my unForums-name. I haven't told him about how I found his BLOG, about the forums and I haven't told him, that my nickname is PatRol. What comes next?

 		Sent an email myself, mainly asking why he used The Watcher against his friend. The "God I hope this works" part certainly sounds like he's desperate, and a totally different side of him does surface on his blog.

Greg,

Thanks for your involvement. To be honest I dont see why everyone
is showing so much concern for a waster like myself.

I quit taking on investigations soon after I realised life was
dealing out its own sick idea of 'Karma' on me.

My 'friend' as you put it was a rat, I used him as an informant for
my investigations and things were going great until the back
stabber set me up.

Im just looking for justice, my way.

A rat gets his, I get mine. Fair trade.

 		okay i wrote to mr. karma about taking on
the role of karma etc. and i received this email:

Quote:

Labfli,

I was fascinated by your comments but now you're really dragging
your heels.

What makes you think Karma has not already come for me? Taking a
bullet in the name of justice sounds like Karma to me. Maybe it is
because of my constant meddling in affairs that I ended up this
way, agree?

If you're gonna help me then try to think outside the idiot box.

- -Andy


then i wrote back wondering if he killed himself-- attempting to
get outside the "idiot box" -- ehem! (cough)


Quote:

Labfli,

You think I took a bullet from my own gun? Yes, silly you.

Look, Im sorry, please dont take offense at my last e-mail. I was
angry and being a loser alcoholic doesnt really help.

Ive taken more hits than I care to remember, but somehow I manage
to still be here now. Sometimes I wish Death would take me away,
forceably or otherwise.

Like a bullet to the head...

- -Andy

Dear Watcher,

Thanks for finally getting in touch with me. I have been forced
into using this untraceable address since I discovered Vincent was
tracking me down.

Hopefully he hadn't hacked my previous account but who knows?

Sorry I should really explain;

A few months ago I was tipped off by an informant that a small time
drug ring was setting up base a few miles from here.

Me being up for a challenge I went down to check it out, no backup.
I thought I could trust Harrison's word, I found out I can't. He
set me up for a fall and a couple of guys jumped me. I killed a man
and now I'm paying the price.

I hit the bottle from then on and quit my business.

Basically I'm in a real fix now and I don't know how much time I've
got.

Andy


Hooray, story! Basically, he wanted me to email Harrison(micheal.harrisonSPLAThush.com) to set up a meeting for Andy to meet Harrison. The meeting did not go too well.

Harrison emails me:
Quote:

You Stupid stupid IDIOT!!!

Do you have any idea what you've done?????

Damnit! Christ it never should have ended up like this, why did you
set me up like that??

I had no choice! Oh man, this is bad, this is really bad!!!

and
Quote:


It doesnt matter what I do now its Vince Im worried about. Oh God
what the hell this wasnt supposed to happen!!!!!

Look, If Vince finds Mason hes DEAD! dont you understand? For gods
sake I didnt kill him! He shouldnt even have been there!

Vince tracked your stupid friend he goddamn knew what was goin
down!!! How I dont know.

Oh hes not gonna be happy! this isnt good!


Fortunately, Andy is okay for now. Email subject from his is pretty cool- "Road to Purgatory"


Quote:

Dear Watcher,

It looks like this has all gotten a bit messier than I previously
thought. Im sorry about dragging you and your friends into this.

Ok so I thank you for setting up the meet last night. I met
Harrison, he's just as uptight and skitish as ever.

Well, I say I 'met' him, truth is he scoped me and made a run for
it. I lost him down a back alley. This old cat just can't keep up
the pace anymore.

Look, I told you I wouldn't do anything stupid, I kept my word.

I want you to know I appreciate your help.

- -Andy

 		Here is what I gather from this story so far:

Andy Mason was got a tip from Micheal Harrison about some drug ring, headed by Vincent. But the tip was a set up and Andy killed someone and now Vincent is pissed and trying to kill Andy as revenge.

Andy, because of the set-up, is pissed at Micheal and wants to kill him because Andy believes that it is Micheals' fault for the way he has ended up (blaming his sudden drinking habit on him instead of on himself).

So here is the question that I must raise? Why should I help Andy and not Micheal? Sure, Micheal set him up but that's not an excuse for how Andys' life has ended up (except for the whole "Vincent trying to kill him" thing). I, personally, do not feel sorry for Andy and would much rather try and help Micheal and get Andy killed then vice versa.

I just don't see a way out of this situation yet. What say you?

 		received a reply on my post:

Quote:

Draghkar,

You can drop the code now. If you wish. Theres no one dumb enough in this day and age to get stuck deciphering Binary. Wink

Im not the most technical genius around so please forgive my lack of creativity.

You wanted to help, and you did. Maybe I should stop shutting people out and get my life back on track. Im tired of fighting alone.

-Andy



So I replied:

Quote:

Dear Karma,

Thank you for your kind reply and your call for help. I would really like to help you out with the problems and issues that you face, as far as it is within my capabilities. Please let me know what i can help you with. I will fight your demons besides you and we will defeat them, but please, identify your demons to me.

Greetings,

Draghkar

 		The site for the group that Vincent runs.

http://www.angelfire.com/in4/infinite_1

This site comes with a warning... "He's (Vincent) clever so do not do anything stupid".

I haven't found anything there yet, but I'm working on getting some more information about the site before I decide that it's been thrown in my direction to throw me off.

 		The site address was given to me. I asked that person about why there was nothing at the site and his response to me was:

Quote:
Ok, so theres nothing there, look, Vince doesnt just post things for the hell of it. Its only when he needs to.


So it looks to me like it's supposed to be empty for right now but may be in use later on.

Quote:
tonight, theres something big goin down.


I've also been informed that Vincent may post something on the site after this "big thing" goes down. So I'll be watching it to see if we can't nab something.

Oh, and by the way, the reason why we are even looking at the site is in the following quote:

Quote:
you need dirt on Vince, to get him to back off (of Andy)
