Chapter 3

Now that the where part was taken care of he needed the "who"
part.He started by just driving around.Seeing if there was
someone who caught his eye.He had seen a few that were sort of
what he was looking for but so far no one had fit the whole
package.He was looking for someone special.She would be 5'5'' or
under, skinny,long dark hair,and a smoker as he had just a bit of
a smoking fetish.She would be 30 or under,never married and had
no kids.Those were the guidelines and he would not settle for
anyone else.

When he saw someone that met the looks department he begin to
follow her,study her.Thru his computer skills and a few well
chosen web sites he got all the info he could on her. Public
records was a very good way of getting info on someone.Was she
married or had she ever been? Was there any children? Where did
she work and what did she do?Did she have loads of outstanding
debt? What did she drive?Was it a piece of crap or something new?
Was she and only child? Where did her relatives live?

Most of his prospects failed the investigation.They were married
or had kids and that was something he did not want.Some had shit
jobs and had tons of credit bills and people like that where
always found by the people they owed.
Some had drug problems and some wanted by the police.If he wanted
he could have made a very good buck turning them in.Some had too
many relatives living in the area.In short he wanted someone like
himself.Someone who was alone,well off in the cash
department,smart,and had very few or no long lasting contacts
with the rest of the world.Someone who could disappear with
little or no notice.

He was driving late one night in a town a few towns away from his
and just by sure luck he saw her.She was walking out of a large
bank.She was walking alone to the parking garage across the
street.She was beautiful.She was about 5'2 must have only weighed
120lbs wet,had shoulder lenght dark hair and was smoking what
looked to be a long white 120.She was walking kinda slow but
smoking very fast as it seemed it had been a lond time since she
last had one.He almost had an accident when he saw her,He pulled
over and waited next to the exit of the parking garage.As it was
late he was fairly sure hers would be the next car leaving-he was
right.He very quickly wrote down the make,model and lisence of
her car as she pulled out.

He hard a hard time driving home without speeding,he had to get
to his computer to begin her investigation.He got home and very
fast booted up his computer.As he had done so many times before
he hacked into the department of motor vehicles and typed in her
plate number.Her name was Nora.She lived in the same town as the
bank.From the counties public database he could find nothing
telling him she was ever married.He then sent the same inquiry to
the surrounding counties and again found no mariage
cetificate.Nora was looking better and better.With her date of
birth from the DMV records he began his search for her
birthplace.In the local hospitals he found nothing.No one
matching her last name as far back as 35 years ago.He then sent
out a state wide seach and again found nothing.He tried sending
out a search to the surrounding states and it was almost 2 days
before he found what he was seeking.She was born 27 years ago in
small hospital two states away.From the local public database
there he could find no other births matching her parents name.She
was an only child.

He then started on her credit report.If people really knew how
easy it was to find out info on someone by someone who knew what
they was doing they would never leave the house.In short order he
found she had A1 credit.Only had 2 credit cards which she used
only rarely and both were paid in full.My Nora--you are
impressing me more and more.He looked at the state and local
police public information sites and found nothing.Not even a
parking ticket in the last 5 years.

He had gotten all he was going to get from the computer.Now it
was time to watch her.Since all of his subjects had not passed
the computer tests he found himself so excited he had to tell
himself to slow down .The first test was to find out if she lived
alone.He drove to her house.It was a nice two story brick house
in the upper scale side of  town.Very late one evening he parked
his car two blocks away and walked to her house.When he got there
he quickly hid in the bushes and set up a time laspe camera which
was set to take a picture of her front door and garage every half
hour for the next 48 hours.Hed had trouble sleeping and working
the next 2 days before he got back the camera.He quickly
developed the picutures and found that she left early in the am
and got home late every evening.No one besides the mail man came
or went from her house but her in the entire 2 days.She lived
alone.

Now he was really started to get excited.Next was watching her.He
would park a few houses away in the early am and would follow her
to work at the bank.He was lucky,he could come and go from work
at anytime and noone would say a word.She stopped every morning
at the the Starbucks across from the bank and bought coffee.One
morning he was already inside to see just what kind of coffee she
liked.She would come out to the smokers area at regular times to
smoke--always alone.If there where people already there she would
go down the block or into the parking garage to find privicy.She
always seemed to work late,At least past 5 like everyone else.She
would stop at the local market almost every night to buy dinner
and cigerettes.Seemed Nora did not plan much or maybe she just
hated shopping.She would arive at home and from peeking inside
her window a few times she worked at her computer or would read a
book before turning in at a resonable hour.

He had gone thru her garbage one night,Lots of empty  microwave
dinners and lots of empty cigerette packs.He was right.Virginia
Slims 120's non menthol.
One day he made a very bold move.Using the skills he had learned
thru an internet locksmithing course he picked the back door
while she was at work.
Her home was very orderly.Some might even say a bit anal.There
was no mess anywhere.The closets where nice and tidy,everything
hung or put into some storage container.The kitchen was clean
enogh you could have eaten of the floor.The icebox was almost
empty except for some milk and juice.The freezer was empty.The
bathroom was just as clean.She even put the toothpaste top back
on and rolled it up from the bottom.Her music collection was top
notch and of course all cd's were put back inside the cover.It
was mostly classical with a bit of mordern jazz and tucked away
in one corner was a Led Zepplin cd.Guess she had to work out some
tension from time to time.The bedroom was last.The bed was made
and looked like it was never used.It took some time but he
finnaly found it-a small bullet vibrator and some lube.My God-she
even had spare batteries in the same drawer!

It had taken 2 monthes of computer work and watching her before
he made up his mind.She was the one.
