Stalker-Case (A/B): Berkshires Quickening

Private-detective narrates his account of a (dark) vacationing-client(s) case of stalker and clues that links (ironically) to Earthling romanticism for a jar.

I liked how my Grendel-piece came out and deciding to inject this sleuth/romance fiction in-between my Sunday snow-storm day sports-culture consciousness/sentiments trilogy. Hope you like (thanks for reading!),

"As a sleuth-for-hire, I knew my work wouldn't be straight or simple, but when I got two simultaneously-timed clients, vacationers at the Berkshires, a nice retreat-area of New England (USA), I knew my life was suddenly much more complex (for the Ego). You see, the two clients, girlfriends, had been successful in the fields of law and sci-fi media and were vacationing together and noted they'd been stalked by an emailing psychopath who insisted he make some 'sideshow'-theater about the two ladies shopping together for groceries in that area of the American Homeland (Facebook-like)."

DANICA: Thanx for taking this case, private-eye (ok!).

ME: No prob, ladies...I like the Berkshires...and I'll discover your psycho (ok).

ELIZABETH: We just don't want this to sully our legal career smile or media-life.

ME: That's just what this stalker seeks, ladies...to 'sully' your vacation-mind!

DANICA: It's definitely someone local who noticed us shopping/blogging, no?

ME: That's good Rationalism, ladies...but don't worry and keep enjoying time.

ELIZABETH: You staking-out our shared suite by-car, eh (this Summer)?

ME: That's the '26-year plan...and I don't intend to fail...either of ya (ha).

"Friends, I got myself a room at the Berkshires while watching-over Danica (a legal-fields angel) and Elizabeth (a sci-fi entertainment model angel) and kept thinking about them and following them by-car while they went shopping (ok). However, they both started falling for me, feeling simply secure because of my presence I think (damn). The irony became I felt the same way and reciprocated and began to court both of them (secretly) when they visited me late-night in my Berkshires-room for general life/food (Selfie-like)."

STALKER: I know the two dolls like you, detective.
ME: What do you want, bad-man?

STALKER: Maybe I'm a Berkshires-guest (or local).

ME: You noticed the two visiting me through peering through my window.

STALKER: So what, detective?

ME: Given your predilection for peering into the everyday-life of folks?

STALKER: Yeah?

ME: I guess you're some photographer staying at the Berkshires (for 'art').

STALKER: Prove it, detective (Selfie-like!).

"Turns out our stalker bad-man ('John Doe') was behind another horrible incident in New England, near the Berkshires, concerning the kidnap and bloody-murder of a lovely NFL-cheerleader unit recruit/trainee who'd been vacationing in the area (damn). The culprit had been a worker in the Western 'universe' of magazine-photography and made 'mark' of Danica/Elizabeth; and when I detected his origins/career-tracks, I discovered his Berkshires-room and closed the evil-case (for good). Now, all I had to do (post-tragedy in America) was to decide which angel-of-miracle (Danica/Elizabeth) would become my bound romance-reciprocating 'Rapunzel' of June (Facebook-like!)."
