Strange Tidings

So, as mentioned last night, I've found what I believe to be the next four entries in Bradley's journal. Since Jessica seems to have torn them all out of whatever binding they used to be in, it's difficult to piece together a timeline- I have to look to make sure there aren't any entries dated between the one I have and the one I posted last. To complicated matters even further, this first of four isn't even dated. The only reason I'm pretty sure it comes first is because it seems to kick off what is honestly the weirdest damn thing I've read in a long while. And that's counting even Jessica's commentary.

So, ah, here's the thing.

Gavin has this weird thoughtful look about him, when he's really trying to come up with a solution to something. His eyes get real misty, and his whole body gets real peaceful. It's like his entire being is working towards whatever goal he's got. That's how he's been a lot, lately, mostly since we picked up the little kid. I tried asking him about it, but he just said he was distracted and not to worry about it. I wonder what's going on in that head of his? Dude is too smart for his own good, always has been. 

I think, maybe, it's his ex-girlfriend that's bothering him? She's been following him around, lately, I guess. I know because I've seen her, standing outside on the sidewalk, staring at the house. She's a spooky looking bitch, all wrapped up in her big black coat. And I swear to god, from that distance, it looks like she has orange eyes. Gavin just laughed at that when I asked him about her. He said she was an "old flame." Whatever that sappy bullshit means.

This one here is the first piece of the puzzle, and also the lynch pin that tipped me off to how the other three were connected. Two of the next three also don't have dates, but I can just about make out what order they're supposed to be in because of that ex-girlfriend stuff. I'm really not sure what to make of it. I know enough to know there are things you just don't poke your head into... and it looks like Bradley, Gavin, and co. may have poked their head into that kind of nastiness. I don't know. 

What I do know is that these next three entries have a lot of commentary from Jessica, so they're going to take a little more time to be posted. Especially since she's got me busy with other work right now. It's a wonder she still even cares that these entries get posted, but she does. Apparently she's proud of them, or something. Ah well. Not my job to ask questions, now is it?
