Chapter 22

But his studies didn’t end with the finer points of medicines, mathematic equations, hypnotism, and make up artistry, he went further than that. He even learned that the key to a successful abduction was to pick the right spot. Preferably something near a group of parked cars. It provided obstacles, and stumbling blocks large enough to hide behind. This victim was ideal. He had studied him a long time, andknew he was a loner. A man like that, in all the hustle and bustle of this city, it might be days, even weeks, before he was missed.

Now, as his quarry drew closer he could hear his footsteps as they echoed off the walls of the canyons created by the skyscrapers that graced this evil city. He stood quiet, and didn’t move, but watched from the opposite side of the dumpster as his victim slowly came into view. As the clueless jogger came nearer, he noticed that his steps became somewhat leisurely, and he saw the relief on his face as he relaxed his step to a walk.
