Just Common

Harbor District part II

Well, glad ta see ya could make it. Start here just soon as I gets settled in this here chair. Gots my ale an my pipe be ready soon as get seated folks. Like I said earlier most thins on that Fred Mosser, pointed ta him. Just hell could point ta anyone that came ta town, pass few times an murders occurred.

Would like ta talk ta this fred, now far as Doc goes. This is his story. On why he left the motel. Folks believe what ya want, Miss Virginia say he tellin the truth. So here it is folks.

Doc say, Miss Virginia showed at the motel a lookin fer me. Desk clerk sent her ta him, told her he was my associate. Doc went out lookin fer me, Miss Virginia gave him the use a her carriage. Folks Doc say he figured I'd be near the park. Now folks don't sound like a lie, although he could have waited. Now in Docs defence, I was gone near three hours, hell guess I'd gone lookin myself.

So guess Doc did what he thought right. Folks now this here killin evil person, hit again an he left another note an sent a letter ta The Mobile Enquirer. No, it wasn't Miss Virginia, but a very close friend. A Miss Clara Montgomery found the Harbor District. Gets inta the facts in a bit. I wanta mention Doc wasn't with me, so I can't say fer sure it wasn't him. Have ta go with my gut, an trust him. I truly don't think it's him. Folks, I just hope I am right on that. I truly do. Now fer the facts, an what Doc an those letters say.

Folks, this one was filled with pure hate, or rage as Doc would put it. The note was left at the clerks desk at the Madison. Here is what it say.

Ranger, Ranger Common Howard, Ya will find my last deed. At number 10 Harbor an alley K, third door on the right. Oh no need ta rush, unlike Valdosta this one is dead, dead an dead! Catch me Common ifin ya can!

Folks, this one, hell is like nothin I mean nothin like his normal work. I had ta leave an come back twice, just ta deal with whats I saw in that small room. Doc called it a frenzy of death an dismemberment! Doc even had ta leave ta pull himself tagether.

Folks Doc say, her whole upper body been skinned an dissected, her mammary glands were removed. Her face de-fleshed ta see the bones. Skin lay on the floor, the blood covered the floor. He did this then posed her like she was sleepin, clothes folded shoes next ta thum on a table, no blood splatter on thum. Folks they had ta been brought in after his sick evil work was done.

Folks the blood an pieces of her, lay on her an the floor. Hell Doc say can't tell what all he done, till I get her cleaned up, an look her over some. Folks I was heart broke over this. City Rangers sketched out the crime scene. Done door ta door checks. I headed ta Miss Montgomery's home, ta see ifin they knew her plans fer the previous night. Doc went ta work on her body.

Folks, her family say, that she was ta meet Miss Virginia at her place, fer dinner an a leisure evenin. They didn't expect her home till about midday or after. Folks I headed ta Miss Virginia Mosser's place ta check in on her. Also ta see ifin this was accurate information, she wasn't off ta meet a fella. Ya see some these wealthy people, they keep they daughters in maintained relationships. So never know, ones with trinkets like ta play as much as poorer folks.

Folks Miss Virginia, took the death of her friend hard. She tell me, they had no plans fer yesterday evenin. She had not seen her brother. Although she did say, that her brother and her were a couple at one time. Folks I did get that feelin I'd met or seen Miss Virginia once befer.
Why I haves that feelin, folks can not tell ya. Folks as she cried I placed my hand on her shoulder. Told her I'd try an catch this madman.

I told her I would see myself out, an ifin she needed anythin at all, ta lets me know. Then I say sorry fer your loss. Folks, Doc say the poor lady not but 20 year old. Was probably still alive when he started ta skin her.

Doc say, somethin set him off, ta leave is norms behind. This one had none of his previous explorations of the body. Other than the dissection of the mammaries. Why he did that, I am not even sure. The mutilation of the face. Common, Doc say with almost cry. She was with child, Miss Montgomery was with child. Not more than maybe three months, maybe a little less. Doc paced about the room, blood loss Common is what killed her.

I'd say a very long an painful death. Doc fixed him a martini an wiped his face, took a seat an said no more, fer must a been ten minutes. Doc looked like he was off on one his gone out spells. He started talkin ta his self, like they were two of thum. He wrote an changed hands while he did that. Folks I just listened two voices in conversation about Miss Montgomery. Folks is Doc crazy?

This I am not certain Doc is a bit different, this could be the way, he works thins out. Comes up with his ideas an theories. So he might be a tad strange crazy no more than most people. That is of course my uneducated guess. Folks we gots a strange Doctor an a Ranger with no real investigative experience, after a evil madman a some kind, that I am beginnin ta think has no sympathy fer people at all. Now that letter ta the Mobile Enquire.

Ta Common Howard, Ranger.

I shall write like ya sir, although I speak an write far more educated than ya. I am far superior than ya a ever be. For no reason what so ever, ya have managed ta figure out my path, my delight in explorin my beauties. Is it that fool Doctor? The Doctor could be wrong, even crazy!

Common is a good name, fer a common man, such as yarself. Is it yar Doctor that is doin this? Ranger, Ranger remember Atlanta. Think on Atlanta Ranger, Ranger think on Atlanta. Shall I find three more, or only one more? Let thum sleep, ta wake ta be reborn. Let thum sleep an not wake at all. Only they can decide, my beauties can decide.

Ranger do I stay on path? Do I run at the moon or run from it? Do I move ta the sun on my right or my left? Ranger, Ranger so many questions. I already have my next beauty picked! Now have I got her now, or just chose?

The last one, such a shame, she told me she was pregnant. Mm did she say that ta stay alive? I didn't bother ta check. I just felt so enraged at that lie! I ate those mammaries raw fresh removed.

Give myself up, ya will help me! Catch me Common ifin ya smart enough, can the Doctor even help? That is ifin its not the Doctor? Common think on Atlanta, that is the one thin ya haven't focused on. Ranger, Ranger raw uterus an ovaries next time, fresh removed.

Yar Nemesis, Death, Jacko, The Reaper.

Folks that was sent late the same day, we found Miss Montgomery. I told the paper ta run it, then give access ta the other two papers the next day. That way more would know the evil of this one. Folks he has his next victim picked out! Focus on Atlanta, I need ta think on that. Folks I might be uneducated, far as book smarts, but I ain't stupid. I do have common sense at times. Think that a do it this time. Little over long, till next time folks.
