Disturbing, but very well written; it sounds like something you might hear about as a good samaritan-like story on the news or in the paper, but much darker. Excellent job.

Thank you. I used to be a police officer, among several other jobs, so this isn't so far away to me. My sister, who is sometimes my beta, told me that she really liked the way I used Walter both as a bad guy, and also as a good guy. He is a criminal, but he is willing to face prison in order to bring this to light. Alorkin
