...and to build my own little castle. Just like Holmes did. Most people like me do their business where their target lives, that's just asking to get caught. Holmes had the right idea. It's all about the honey trap. You bring me some smokes, like I asked? Lucky Reds? Yes! Woah, these are like gold in here. Damn, that's good. So yeah, a honeypot. Holmes built a hotel, about a mile from the World's Fair, and called it the World's Fair Hotel. And bought ad space in papers alongside ads for the expo. Rubes from far and wide assumed it was the official hotel. Ma and Pa Kettle, take a train in from Nebraska, takes three days, they roll up into that joint ready to rest, get to their room, and whoops - what do ya know - Holmes had a gas pipe hidden under the bed and poisons them. Or maybe, he pulls a trap door on them. Maybe he separates them and makes one watch through a window while he slits the other's throat. That's the advantage of a honeypot. No shortage of targets. That's why I picked all those houses north of the airport. The whole neighborhood was scheduled for demolition and yet all those lovely realtor ladies must not have gotten the memo. Call up, as a contractor, tell them I'm flipping. Have them meet me out there. And, look at that, we're the only two people for miles. The first couple times I'd wait for a plane to fly over just to hide their screams, but after a while, I realized. They could scream as loud as they wanted! No one was gonna hear a thing. That's what I remember most. Those screams. You can try to understand why I am the way I am. You can "Forensic Science" up all the data you want. But you'll never know. You'll never know, Munday. You'll never really know how it feels when you watch the fire burn out of somebody.
