He was afraid of large water bodies.

Ever since he worked the Water Girls case, he couldn't go near a lake, sea, ocean, water fountain...in short, anything bigger than a bathtub.

Years ago, when he was a rookie, they found nearly two dozen bodies buried in a lake south of Mississippi. All teenage girls, raped and stabbed to death, all with their faces ripped off.

The killer was never caught.

Now, when he as much approached a lake, he saw a body float up to the edge. The body suddenly grew a face. Eyes, which opened and stared at him.

A mouth, which seemed to say: YOU COULDN'T CATCH THE MAN WHO DID THIS TO US.
