FILE 017: INTERVENTION
It's been a few weeks since I last posted. A few weeks since they - Horizon - caught me. It was a man with blue eyes. Handsome and unshaven. I'm pretty certain it was the guy who I'd seen hanging around Bluebell Hill back when Eleanor had gone missing. He was wearing a long, dark coat and a grey suit, holding a simple, black umbrella. A real, genuine Horizon agent. And this time he didn't try and disguise the fact. He was pleasant, but to the point. He took my laptop and told me it'd be confiscated. The man - Knox his name was - warned me to stop. Told me that they were the good guys, but not all of the good guys were, in fact, good. He didn't hurt me, but he did insist that I stop.
And then the world had turned black. The last thing I'd seen was his blue eyes and a sad smile playing on his lips.
I woke up in my car a few hours later, the rain hammering down on the roof and no sign of the mysterious Horizon agent. But he was the idiot. These posts are saved onto a secure server that Simon Roper had helped me to set up before...well, before he left. So all it took was a new laptop and access to the server and I'm back. So if any of you goons are reading this, you failed? Maybe next time send someone with more than one brain cell to deal with me.
That's not an invite by the way. But you'll never find me. Not now. I'm somewhere you'll never think of looking. And I still have a story to tell. A story that involved a man who became like a father figure to me over the few months that I knew him. My personal Obi-Wan Kenobi if you like.
Simon Roper was a hero. And it all started with a place he had called the Well. Now, I didn't sit there thinking that the Well would be a literal well. I assumed it was a code name for a building stuffed full of information. A "well of information". But no, it was a literal well. Dark and dangerous and downright terrifying.
And I wasn't prepared for what I found in the Well...
