He was anxious to get home and sit behind another item he had recently splurged on, an Apple G5 Tower computer with a 30-inch screen and a very fast connection to the Internet. Not one to waste time, he wanted to look up Mr. Daniel Walker and see why he seemed so familiar.

One thing for sure, he had every intention of nailing these bastards and could almost feel an increase in the temperature of his blood as it coursed through his veins in anticipation of reaching this extremely satisfying result! Plus, if they put up a fight so much the better, although he would not admit this to anyone else.
