          I'd always been cat and mouse with Jim Hopper.  He had been chasing me since I was fourteen and being picked up for vandalism or petty theft.  At the time he had just been any old deputy, but as I'd grown up he'd grown in ranks. 

          A couple of weeks after my nineteenth birthday he was promoted to Chief Hopper.  He thought it would intimidate me at least a little bit, but if anything it made me more motivated.  If I could keep outrunning the Cheif, then what couldn't I do?  I'd slipped through Hopper's fingers so many times before, what was a few more times gonna hurt?  His ego for sure, but that's why I do this shit.  Mainly to get out of the house and under his skin. 

          Hopper knows I'm harmless, I've never actually hurt anybody or anything.  The worst he's nailed me for is underage drug usage and consumption of alcohol.  The only person I'm actually hurting is myself, as he's told me so many times before when I was cuffed to a chair in his office.  He'll never let me forget it either.
