sense unless I told you everything else first. But thatтАЩs too long a story.тАЭ

тАЬI donтАЩt have anywhere else I have to be this morning.тАЭ
тАЬNo, I mean itтАЩs a long story. This morning I could maybe give you the prologue; to get through the
whole thing would take days.тАЭ

тАЬYou do understand youтАЩre going to be in here for a while.тАЭ

тАЬOf course,тАЭ she says. тАЬIтАЩm a murderer. But thatтАЩs no reason why you should have to waste your time.тАЭ

тАЬDo you want to tell the story?тАЭ

тАЬI suppose thereтАЩs a part of me that does. I mean, I didnтАЩt have to mention Bad Monkeys to the cops.тАЭ

тАЬWell if youтАЩre willing to talk, IтАЩm willing to listen.тАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩre just going to think IтАЩm crazy. You probably already do.тАЭ

тАЬWhat happened?тАЭ

тАЬI stumbled into a Bad Monkeys op. ThatтАЩs how a lot of people get recruited: theyтАЩre in the wrong place
at the wrong time, they get caught up in an operation, and even though they donтАЩt really understand
whatтАЩs happening, they show enough potential that the organization takes notice. Then laterтАФmaybe
days, maybe decadesтАФthereтАЩs a job opening, and New Blood pays them a visit.тАЭ

тАЬSo tell me about this operation you stumbled into.тАЭ

тАЬWell, it all started when I figured out that the janitor at my high school was the Angel of DeathтАжтАЭ

Nancy Drew, Reconsidered as a Bad Seed
IT WAS THE FALL OF 1979. I WAS fourteen years old, and IтАЩd been sent away from home to live
with my aunt and uncle.

Where was home?

San Francisco. The Haight-Ashbury. Charlie MansonтАЩs old stomping grounds.

Why were you sent away?

Mostly to keep my mom from killing me. WeтАЩd been fighting pretty much nonstop all that year, but
