Night One
Salt Lake City, Utah
Usually at this time, the noise from the treadmill manufacturing plant filled the air for miles. The high-pitched sound of crinkling tinfoil kept the area around the factory free of residential homes, no one wanted to wake up with their teeth on edge every day. But on this particular morning, the factory was silent. The machines had been shut down, half-formed tinfoil treadmills hanging in the air. And in the morning light that shone through the windows, a splattering of red on the cold grey metal.
"Look at the state of this place," said one agent. Her eyes fell on the bodies of factory workers. If it had just been one, it might have been mistaken for an industrial accident. But four? No. This was a spree killer.
"This killer is disorganized for sure. There is very little plan here, just instinct. The bodies are left where they fell. No effort to cover up the scene."
"This one will be hard to catch. He'll be relocating soon. But one thing might help...there aren't that many tinfoil treadmill factories in this country. We'll set up stings at the remaining factories. He won't be able to resist another spree for long."
"Why is no one asking why these treadmills are made of tinfoil?"
~~~
The reporters gathered around, pressing each other into the stage, microphones thrust forward. The press liaison brushed a hair out of her eyes, the wind quickly moving it right back. She held up a hand to quiet the reporters' questions.
"Yes, we have a suspect. He was caught sneaking into a tinfoil treadmill factory late in the night. We don't know why he is drawn to these places, but he is in custody now."
"Who caught him? Who do we have to thank for putting this psycho away?"
"Well actually that is an interesting story. It was something of a joint effort..."
