seen it. When she looked through the purse she told the officers that nothing was missing,” Brad listens to him shaking his head feeling proud of his advanced knowledge at a young age. “She even said there was almost a thousand dollars in cash in the bank envelope, never touched. She didn‘t have any cuts or bruises. Which tells me that the attacker didn‘t hit her or get physical as happens in a lot of attacks.” Darrin exhales hoping that answer was what was right and what Detective Jostler hoped it was.
                  “Your good kid, I wasn’t sure if you noticed the watch. But you’re right. It doesn’t seem normal to me either.” Brad nods his head feeling proud of his ability to see this much only being a rookie. Brad then turns and explains. “Although it’s important for you to know that rape, in general, is an act of violence. Meaning , a rapist is most of the time, driven mentally and physically so it’s not that out of the ordinary that nothing was stolen, I just want you to understand that.

                  “Why do you feel this way Boss, I mean you’ve been around for a lot of years and you’ve seen it all, why does this one make you feel uneasy?” Darrin turns toward Brad.

                  “So what do we do now?” Darrin asks as he moves the vent toward his face and dabs the balls of sweat from his hairline.
                  “We wait for the doctor’s exams, the reports from Avery, and Dorothy, we try to find prints, we check her past, see if anyone had a problem with her, you know, follow the textbook.” Brad runs down the list.
                  “What then?”
                  “Unfortunately we wait for the next victim.” Brad replies as he looks away.
                  “You think he’s going to do it again?” Ask the rookie.
                  Brad takes a deep breath. “I’d bet my life on it.

    DETECTIVE BRADLEY JOSTLER'S OFFICE 7:12 A.M.
                  Brad walks into the hallway and can see that the office is already jumping this morning. On his way to the coffee pot that's located about two doors from his office he notices Todd Avery making his way down the hall. Brad sighs and says to himself. "Thank god."
                  "Good Morning." Brad smiles as Todd meets him in the waiting area that also doubles as a break room. "What do you got?" He asks knowing that if there’s anything at all to find, Todd will find it.
                  Todd Avery's a good cop and an even better investigator; he's relentless and smart, exceptionally smart. Joining the force at the same time as Brad they've known each other for over 22 years and each one loves the other one like a brother.

                  He’s been happily married for the past twenty years to his loving wife Jessica. He has one child a son that’s thirteen.
