"We hauled in a serial rapist a few months back - he was preying on the girls from Luscious. But my detectives botched the evidence and Bam! Just like that, the bastards work on the street. And the worst thing is, that this cocky little shit looked me right in the eye and said he'd do it again. I can't let that happen. I want him dead."
