“I told you,” said the ordinary-looking man in blue “This is my work I did it and I did it perfectly”

“Are you feeling all right, Mr Grant?”

“Yes, I am Why do you ask?”

Was Connor Grant, citizen-genius-artist, insane? I didn’t knohat to believe

Joe had his gun in hand and kept it pointed at Grant as I told hi at the destruction, still wearing a beatific glow I patted hi but keys, coins, and a wallet His ID confirmed his name, and now I had an address and his credit cards

I cuffed the s psycho, arrested him for the destruction of public property, which would hold hihts

Squad cars were screa up to the curb, and I marched Grant over to one of theer seat

I told young Officer Einhorn and his partner, “Mr Grant clai Lieutenant Brady now, asking hiht until you transfer custody to Brady I mean, do not take your

eyes off him for a second Any questions, Marty?”

After the squad car had pulled out, I speed-dialed Brady and briefed hi up Sci-Tron

“I don’t knohat toback to the Hall as soon as I can”

Joe had been taking photos of inco law enforcement and activity around the pier He put his phone away and said, “Wait here, Linds I’ to assess the scene real quick before the fire department tramples it Be back in five”

With that, Joe ran toward the wreck of Sci-Tron I didn’t like it The structure was still s and was unstable Joe was alone

I shouted after him, but it was so loud on the street I honestly don’t think he heard me
