TODAY i saw him again exept this time it was different. HE WAS COLD, but colder than usual. Those piercing black eyes were still staring at the wall. I asked him if he was ready and he laughed for quite a while. I didn't get the joke. Was he ready? I got closer and told him FIRMLY, "In TWO NIGHTS from now you're gone and no one is going to miss you. Not your kid and CERTAINLY not your WIFE." Just as i said that, HE STOPPED STARING at the wall and SLOWLY turned to me. I knew it was a risky move to mention Caroline after all that has happened but i needed to see it. THAT ANGER INSIDE HIM. I NEEDED to see it rotting away with him in that empty cell. But i saw something different, something i didn't really expect, but then again, this IS Charles. I saw CALMNESS and that put me on edge.
WHY WAS HE SO CALM? WASN'T HE NERVOUS THAT IN TWO DAYS HE WOULD DIE? WASN'T HE SCARED AT THE THOUGHT OF THE METAL FRYING THE INSIDES OF HIS BRAIN WHILE PEOPLE WATCHED? He gave me a sinister smile and told me, "IN TWO NIGHTS from now you will remember me telling you this..." He paused for a second, eyes FIXED on mine , NEVER breaking eye contact , "Do not worry for you WILL be next... And in THREE MORNINGS from now, agent Stone, you will quiver in your bed, TIRED. TIRED because you couldn't sleep THE NIGHT BEFORE reflecting on YOUR OWN WORK and the MISTAKES YOU MADE months back with MY WIFE.

I'VE BEEN PREPARING THIS FOR MONTHS. Being very careful to have everything in control. Nothing could go wrong, Nothing WOULD go wrong. I saw Charles' cell while i was passing by and he wasn't at his usual spot. HE WAS STARING AT ME. Hands on bars. I swear i saw the corner of his lips slightly curve upwards. WHAT IS HE UP TO?

Today i woke up feeling UNEASY. Like i had a rope around my neck. It didn't feel like a good day but it HAD to. Today was the day i finally see CHARLES WINSTON being executed in an electric chair. I was so glad this day came but i couldn't help feel something was off...

In LESS THAN TWO HOURS Charles will be dead. I still can't shake off the feeling I had this morning. As I was driving, I remembered something. OUR CONVERSATION. The one we had two days ago. WHY WAS HE SO CALM?

As I'm heading to Charles' cell, the UNEASINESS I felt becomes stronger.
10:40 P.M.
I REMEMBER the feeling, the guard opened the door. As I walked towards the cell, the uneasiness I've been feeling all day had stopped but the shockness and anger had kicked in. I'M LAYING HOME AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG. I HAD EVERYTHING PLANNED. How could he had escaped? I'M TERRIFIED. After seven hours of searching for him I don't know WHE HE-
