Kevin sat at a computer console of the MCU HQ with his feet up running his fingers on the rim of a coffee cup. The room was almost pitch black except for the glow of the computer monitors and the light from a desk lamp next to a yellow legal pad and a pencil. In the background playing very quietly was the Bruce Springsteen CD "Nebraska" which was on repeat. 

Kevin felt as though he would never make any sense of the footage waiting for what he called the blip. A blip was something that just popped off of the screen that would stand out and get the wheels really moving. However with the footage being from such a wide expanse of time and most of it at night was proving to be a challenge for Detective West. Just then though he finally caught his blip. 

He smiled slightly as he said, "A van. That's it there's my blip." Kevin very quickly pulled up the footage of the other cams around the approximate times of death and found the same make and model of a van driving away. However in this case the van was a different color which made Kevin smile even more as he said, "Oh my man you are smart. Yes you are my man, but I'm smarter." Kevin also noted though that the license plate of the van was different each time. He wrote down the plate numbers and pulled up the addresses. Kevin realized that the plates belonged to other vehicles but they were within a couple of blocks of where the bodies had been found.

Kevin nodded and sat up as he said, "Okay here's how it goes.The killer stops off switches plates with another vehicle just before he reaches the traffic cam. So when he drives by it's 'look at me, look at me, it's me but not the real me.' Very clever my man. Then he lets the vic go and does the deed. Takes off down another road and says to the traffic cam, 'okay I did it and you know it but you still can't catch me.' Again very clever my man and then you switch plates again and go home."

Kevin puts down his legal pad and let out an exhale and studies the screen. This time with all four screens showing the same van in a different color. One was black. one was dark gray, one was navy, and then one was dark purple. Kevin nodded and said, "All right my man your van color trick. You can't use the same van twice technically, but if you make changes like to the color and the vehicle tags it's a different van. You need to use dark colors so not to draw attention to yourself, and you go to a different paint shop. You can't go to the same paint shop over and over my man. That raises questions you can't hide from. Which means you got bucks to burn if you're getting the van repainted on a weekly basis. Oh my man you're a sick puppy aren't you. You're doing this because you're wealthy and bored just playing a new game with the only group that has no choice but to play with you."

Kevin shook his head and said, "You sick bastard at least the psychos have mental issues to blame for their problems, but you're doing this just because you can." Kevin then began darting his eyes back and forth on the screen. Kevin then realized something and under his breath said, "That's how you determine it all." Kevin quickly grabbed a calendar and then looked at the dates the bodies were found. The bodies had been dead for less than 24 hours and Kevin knew he could be on to something.

Kevin said, "Lunar phases that's it. First body found 24 hours after the first phase, second body found 24 hours after the full moon, third body 24 hours after the last phase, and last night was a new moon." He looked back at the calendar and said, "If we don't move it we're gonna have another dead body in 8 days."

With that Kevin quickly typed up his report. He then paged the Major and said, "Sir please report to the video room asap sir. You're gonna wanna see this!"

Just then CC called him and asked, "You got a minute?"

Kevin replied, "I got something to show the Major what's up?"

CC replied, "I think I got something too, but I want verification when you get a chance can you come to see me?"

Kevin said, "Oh yeah you bet....I mean sure no problem."

Kevin could almost hear CC smiling as she said, "Thank you KW."

The line went dead and Kevin looked up and said, "Can you be any more obvious West?"

He shook his head and awaited the arrival of the Major.
