    Summary

    “Oh, only Britain’s most prolific serial killer.”

    There was silence for a while, and for some reason, Julia found herself unwilling to look up and see Trevor’s reaction. Her heart rate had sped up, and she was suddenly worried for the first time that ‘The Hunt’ may have given him the power to sense that sort of thing. Eventually, she heard him make a noise of realisation.

    “No, y’don’t mean the shed bloke, do you?”

    Julia laughed, the sound bursting out of her chest.

    “That’ll be the one, yep.”

    ---------------

    The story of Julia Montauk and Trevor Herbert, and how they realised everything too late.

    Writing this because Trevor and Julia didn't get enough screentime.

    Summary

    “Morning! What can I get for ya?” The man piped, easy and light, and it tugged at something in the back of his mind, at that pain in the center of his chest. All at once, in a flash of sickeningly sweet recognition, that almost made him feel nauseous. 

    'Mornin’, ugh. Wanna cuppa? Was gonna throw one on before it got too cold to get out of bed again –
    Anything I can get for ya, Jon? It can’t be easy, with your hand - 
    (If it’s not too late already -)'

    He swallowed, throat suddenly entirely too dry, and felt a little like he was going to collapse. The pain in his lungs sharpened, going quick and stabbing for just a second, and he choked out a sound that might have been a tight, constricted 'um'. 

    The man at the counter, with his oddly familiar voice, and copper hair, and bright blue eyes that were staring right at him, not unkindly, was - was just waiting. With a practiced smile and a mild look of questioning on his face. Waiting for this random man in his cafe to order, and get out of line, and probably not have the panic attack of a lifetime in the middle of his floor. Probably not that. 

    “Ah. Um. Just a coffee. Black.”

    Summary

    "They haven't found Daisy yet." Martin admitted.

    "Should've been me." Tim said with a low tone. He moved his head back to stare at the ceiling.

    -or-

    Tim survives The Unknowing and has to deal with the aftermath (he isn't happy about it).

    Summary

    Previously lost statements of John Amherst, prior to his presumed death in 2013.

    They've been restorated to the best of our abilities but due to the nature of the subject, a full restoration will not be possible at this time. I've tried to provide context using the standard procedure annotation system.
