I got home from Fremont thanks to a ride from Ms. Maria Reyes, but I was feeling really restless. I decided to go for a run to clear my head and headed out towards downtown. Somewhere along 3rd Avenue there was police activity at a parking garage. I heard a cop yell "Freeze!" and looking up, I saw Lee do exactly that... AFTER he'd jumped off. I had to act quick so I hastily grabbed a mattress pad from a residentially-challenged person nearby with the promise of returning it to him (which I forgot. Dammit!) to cushion his fall. It worked, but the cops were on him immediately. I tried to play the sympathy card by saying how dare they arrest someone who was just trying to kill himself, but the cops just pushed me away. I didn't know what else to do so I called Ms. Reyes to have her meet me at the SPD.

After the day's excitement I returned back to my little studio and opted for a long, hot shower. As I leaned my head against the wall, I found my thoughts wandering to what the hell I was doing. I got into this wanting answers for what was done to me, but I feel like I have more questions than when I started. Ms. Reyes did ask me if I wanted to find a "cure" for this, even at the loss of my heightened abilities, and I didn't know how to answer her at the time. While cool, having extreme accuracy isn't really something I have a desperate need to cling to. What I do worry about is the fact that I threw away everything, trying to do the right thing, and the only thing I ended up with was this crazy ability. If I gave that up too, what would I be left with?
