Who: Alejandro and the Mourning Star
Where: A secluded beach a few miles outside Seaside, Oregon
When: Late afternoon, August 17, 2007 (Flashback)
The screaming had finally stopped, but Alejandro was really more disappointed than relieved. He'd gotten a long list of names out of Marianna's father before he'd stopped caring about information and just focused on the punishment-- Nicholas Young wasn't going to be hurting anyone again, much less his fleeing, frightened daughter-- and he was nearing the end. Every one of them had, had something to do with tracking Marianna down, had taken a bribe or a favor or actually knew the truth and just didn't care. Every one of them deserved it, and then some.
Alejandro wasn't entirely sure what this one had done, though. He was a young police officer, pretty low down on the rungs, but very dedicated to the job. Maybe he'd been promised a promotion for catching the pretty little girl who'd run away. Maybe he knew Nicholas personally and was doing him a favor. Maybe he was one of those bastards who did know the truth. He was involved; that was enough for Alejandro.
