	Rotting flesh. To attract carrion beetles and flies. Most flowers use bees and butterflies to pollinate, but not these. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Moving on would be the logical thing to do. Once you get over one thing you move onto the next and use that to pre-occupy yourself until that is finished and you move on again. But all of those years devoted to one thing and then, it's gone. Is there really a way to fill that gap it leaves behind? The only choice you have really is to accept it but it's a scary thought.

	You're just like those detectives you see on TV... hunting the bad guy for years and years. But that's TV, no criminal can get away for that long, right? You're probably after some huge organization like the mafia or triad or yakuza, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You are intuitive. It is something like that. Most criminals who act in small groups or alone turn on each other and slip up easily. The larger ones have loyalty and can't be easily broken. Even after the head dies, the others will still remain loyal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

One bad guy is easy to catch, so if you hadn't caught him yet, that would mean it's several guys. I watch a lot of cop dramas... I didn't know it was really like that. I know it's your job and all and I should take it more seriously... but it sounds cool. A guy devoting himself to a greater cause like that... it's so admirable.

	It's still exciting. To say your husband-- er, not that I'm imposing-- but that your husband is off at a stakeout, and you can't share details since it's confidential. Everybody's job has hazards, but to have that kind of dedication to your job is rare. Not many people realize how much goes into keeping them safe... it's admirable, really.
