The actor Joseph Brady was born on October 9th 1928 in Glasgow.
One of a large Glaswegian working-class family, Brady spent five years in the Merchant Navy, before, encouraged by his sister, deciding to become an actor. In 1958, he graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama as “best comedy actor” and “most promising male actor”.
He was given a year’s contract at the Glasgow Citizens’ Theatre, and spent a year at Perth Theatre before joining the cast of the popular police drama Z Cars as PC Jock Weir.
Brady’s character, a rugby-playing Scot, was one half of the Z-Victor 1 team, with “Fancy” Smith (Brian Blessed). The series began with a newly formed group of uniformed officers, driving the then fashionable Ford Zephyrs and dealing with violence, robbery and domestic issues in “New Town”. During his time on the show Joseph recorded two songs by his fellow countryman Tommy Scott.
After leaving the police series in the late 1960s, he played the lead in the BBC’s 17th-century costume drama The Borderers, which ran for 26 episodes from 1969 to 1970. This gave him the opportunity to dye his hair red - and, enthusiastically, to learn to ride a horse.
After that, he alternated between stage and television. His television appearances included Dr Finlay’s Casebook, Taggart, The Bill The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, Casualty and Gramps in Rab C Nesbit
His Scottish theatre works mainly centred around Edinburgh’s Lyceum where he appeared in many productions, including Hadrian VII, The Taming Of The Shrew, and the epic Satire Of The Third Estates. In 1974, he joined very strong casts in Bill Bryden’s plays Benny Lynch and Willie Rough at the Lyceum. Other plays included The Bevellers, written by fellow Scot Roddy McMillan.
In 1985, he was in The Seagull, with Vanessa Redgrave, at the Haymarket, London and in 1988, he was in Billy Roche’s big success, A Handful Of Stars, at the Bush Theatre, west London. One of his favourite roles was that of the young boxer Joe Bonaparte’s father in the National Theatre’s 1984 production of Clifford Odets’s Golden
Joseph ‘Joe’ Brady died June 12th 2001 in London.

Aria | Various | 1987
Aria is a portmanteau film where nine short segments are presented by different directors to accompany various operatic arias, in turn Nicolas Roeg, Charles Sturridge, Jean-Luc Godard, Julien Temple, Bruce Beresford, Robert Altman, Franc Roddam, Ken Russell, and Derek Jarman. A tenth film directed by Bill Bryden acts as a kind of framing device, bookending the film and continuing between each of the other sections.

Music in Nature and Nature in Music
Hello everyone.
I found this week’s topic very interesting, music was not an aspect of nature interpretation I would have guessed we would be discussing in this course. When I think about nature and music I instantly think of some of my favorite songs which focus on natural themes. I also, like many of our classmates have shared, think about the music in nature and the diversity of sounds and songs different animals sing.
I think of whales most notably when I think of music in nature. Whales are such complex and fascinating creatures. As many of you know they use songs to communicate. Whales produce such complex and beautiful songs; many scientists believe they have their own languages. They can also learn other whales’ languages, this famous example of whales learning new songs from other populations of whales and over time starting to sing the new songs which I think is really cool (Noad et al. 2000).
When I think of nature in music, I think of one of my favorite artists Elisapie. Elisapie is a Inuk singer who draws on lots of inspiration from Inuit people and culture in her songs. Two of my favorite songs are “Wolves Don’t Live By the Rules” and “Call of the Moose” draw inspiration from natural phenomena and animals. Although both songs aren’t directly about the environment for me, they inspire me to get outside and explore nature. When I listen to those songs, especially when I am in nature, I feel a deepened sense of connection to the environment and the world around a greater appreciation for nature.
“Music can also serve as a point of connection between humans and the natural world. In these ways, music can inspire environmental action and advocacy while also helping to foster empathy for the natural world.”
Kate Turner & Bill Freedman (2004)
This is a quote I found on a paper on incorporating music into nature interpretation (Turner and Freedman 2004). I really like this quote because it highlights the important of music in engaging more people in environmental education. Each week we have talked about various aspects of nature interpretation like art and history and music is no different. Each medium will help enrich the experiences of those we interpret nature for and may help some people connect with nature. Not every approach we may take will work for everyone but if it can help a few people learn about and connect with nature then it is a great way to get people involved.
There are many songs that come with strong political or cultural statements so it makes sense that music can be another additional tool to use to gain environmental awareness. One of my favorite artists, Bruce Cockburn, is a legendary singer songwriter who makes very bold statements with his music. One of his most famous songs is “If A Tree Falls” is really a call to action to stop the Amazon Rainforest Deforestation. If you take a listen to the song, I think most people are able to understand the intention of the song quite clearly and learn a lot about a very important issue.
I have many songs that are attached to my personal memories in nature. One I can think of off the top of my head is “You’ve got to run (spirit of the wind)” By Buffy Sainte Marie and Tanya Tagaq. Everyday when we finished our work on the mountain in the Yukon, we would run down the mountain with this song on repeat blasting from my speaker attached to my backpack. Of course, we said the music was just to let the bears know humans were coming but then we got so into the song it was so motivating. Now every time I hear the song, I am back on the mountain running through the alpine tundra with my hiking shoes wet, dehydrate, starving, but feeling energized for our three hour walk down!
This is the view we would start walking down from every day in the Yukon while listening to Buffy Sainte Marie.

Guest Speaker - Stewart Bryden
Identify an element of the guest speaker’s talk that resonated with you in some way.
Even famous photographers still get nervous before shoot and think how on earth am I going to photograph the brief etc.
What question will/did you ask the visitor?
How do you work with subjects?
Answer
Depends on experience of model
Like a team challenge, everyone working towards the same goal a great photo.
How do you think this will impact your own practice as a photographer?
I think that I will always find working with people at first a nervous task, but I like the thought that everyone is working towards the same goal.
Take notes during the talk – use both sides of this handout to answer these questions.
- You don't need to be in London anymore because of Covid, it people are moving away from London right back to Germany et cetera
- Being an assistant is a good way in to the industry because of the people you meet and you learn the skills of the trade.
- Get used to rejection don't take it personally
- it's all about who you know!
- Happy to shoot for less money if it's creative or a personal connetion
- split blue into two or different genres example advertise/editorial
- when doing a shoot keep an eye out for good lighting afterwards because sometimes that could be when you get your key shot
- a test, new money is exchanged or very little. it's images for a models book it is a good way to learn to work with models. When Stewart started photography he did test for free and slowly increased the pay to £100.
- Having a good team behind you makes a big difference takes at the work to a new level.
- Advertorial - an editorial style but wearing only one brand of clothes
- keep in touch with people send an update portfolio, you may need to send one or two emails you need to be persistent.
- in the fashion industry people are always busy don't take it personally if you get no response
- for poses keep movement! it makes the image feel more natural. sometimes poses are important.
- it is important that your work has direction make sure your stamp carries through
- with COVID budgets have been cut for example her makeup not having an assistant.
- fast fashion need to weigh up the cost for the environment and paying the bills
- the degree would totally recommend it you get to make your own briefs and a lot of freedom
- as a photographer celebrate the small moments
- where to find assistant jobs - email photographers, production company, social media, the AOP website.
- CGI images can you call yourself a photographer? is it keeping up with the times photography is always going to adapt.
- Photography industry based around your name, it's like a brand. people want to see behind the scenes and knew about the person
- In London his experience is people don't use Lightroom when they use capture one
- your career will have peaks and troughs keep persevering
- even famous photographers still getting nervous and think how on earth can I shoot the brief.

History of Lyons: La Grange (1884)
History of Cook County, Illinois, From the Earliest Times to the Present Day, Complete in One Volume
By A. T. Andreas
Chicago: A. T. Andreas, Publisher. 1884.
History of Lyons
La Grange
This beautiful suburb, attested by large boards along the line of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad to be the “garden spot” of Cook County, is situated on that railroad about fifteen miles from Chicago. It has two depots on this line, one situated at Fifth Avenue and the other at Stone Avenue, the old depot, however, which was called West Lyons, was situated a short distance west of the Stone-avenue depot. At this point the first settlement was made, although it comprised but a few persons. The land upon which Kensington Heights, and subsequently La Grange, was laid out was a part of four hundred and forty acres owned by Robert Leitch.
Robert Leitch was born in Orleans County, N. Y., in 1820, of John and Catherine Leitch, and came to Cook County May 2, 1837. He worked by the month as a farm-laborer for nearly four years, and for the same length of time for Wadsworth, Dyer & Chapin, of Chicago, in the packing business. He came to the section of country where La Grange now is, purchasing four hundred and forty acres of land. At that time there was no one resident of the immediate vicinity, except Thomas Covell, who resided in the timber, and he has stood upon the porch of his house and shot wolves and deer. Mr. Leitch followed farming for a number of years in connection with cattle-dealing and stock-raising and shipped a great many cattle to New York. He was the first man to settle on the prairie and broke the first land between Lyons and Brush Hill. In 1844, he married Miss Mary A. Wilder, daughter of Colonel Benjamin and Elizabeth Wilder. They have eight children—Maria F., Benjamin J., Robert, Belle, Edward B., Zephaniah G., Walter B., and Dollie F. Mr. Leitch was Commissioner of Highways for eight years and also served on the school board for eight years. In 1870, he moved to Chicago and engaged in the distillery business; the distillery burned down in 1872, after which he was connected with the Garden City Distillery. Mr. Leitch sold the tract of four hundred and forty acres to Mrs. Breed, and sold part thereof to Franklin D. Cossitt, who laid out the town. He now, however, resides on a portion of his original tract, having returned to La Grange in 1881.
In this connection, it is germane to remark upon the adventitious booms that elevated the prices of real estate temporarily, as some locality would seem especially favored by the suburban fever, or an imagined right of way, and under such speculative conditions a great deal of money was realized and lost in real estate. In the vicinity of La Grange some much mutations have been experienced, and also in that vicinity settlement has been retarded because of tenacious holding of real estate for speculative prices instead of being willing to accept a fair price from actual settlers. Franklin D. Cossitt and D. B. Lyman, however, have manifested a liberal and public spirit in their transactions and by their exertions La Grange is a garden spot; the natural bleakness of the prairie transformed by the liberal planting of thousands of deciduous trees, and the grassy waste made into a garden; the landscape testifying to the enterprise of the projector and the hundreds of handsome dwellings manifesting the appreciation of the property buyers.
To revert to the antiquities of the town. Mr. Leitch states that the first road that ran through there was about a mile wide, and was called the Chicago & Dixon road; the road traversing the same route, although circumscribed in its width, is now designated Ogden Avenue. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad came through about the year 1862, being opened on June 1st. The depot at West Lyons was established about 1868, the agents being J. J. Kimmons, W. E. Smith, W. F. Billings, A. Potter, J. A. Bryden, John Unold, A. McMillan, W. E. Stanger, E. O. Smith, A. W. Ladd, and E. O. Smith. John Van Ottrick, who was president of the road at the time, predicted that it would never pay. “A prophet come to judgment!” The road then ran to Aurora, and thence to Batavia, intersecting the Chicago & North-Western at Turner Junction. Prior to this, the stages of Frink & Walker ran to Doty’s at Lyons, thence to Naperville, and from there to Aurora. The first school was established about 1852-53, and was taught by Miss Gertrude Smith.
Samuel Vial, one of the oldest living settlers of Lyons Township, lives in the vicinity of La Grange; he was born in Chester, Orange Co., N. Y., in 1819, son of Joseph and Louisa (Smith) Vial; he came to Chicago with his parents in the fall of 1833, the family locating in Lyons Township in the spring of 1834. Mr. Vial was married in 1846, to Miss Margaret McNaughton, daughter of George and Jane McNaughton; she died in 1856, leaving four children, Jane, George M., Joseph and Louisa. In the fall of 1856 he married Mrs. Gertrude North, who died in 1879. Mr. Vial was Supervisor of Lyons Township for five years.
The subdivision of La Grange was made by Franklin D. Cossitt in 1871, and since that time its progress has been steady and material. Before this subdivision there was a little coterie settled where John Unold’s store now is, but there was no extended settlement.
On May 26, 1879, a petition was filed for the incorporation of La Grange as a village, and upon June 11 of that year an election was held to ascertain whether Section 4 and the east half of the east half of Section 5, Township 38 north, Range 12 east, of the third principal meridian, should be thus incorporated; and the following vote was cast:
For village organization forty-two votes, against village organization, thirty-four votes.
On July 10, 1879, the election for town officers resulted: F. D. Cossitt, L. L. Bassford, P. G. Gardner, J. D. Myers, E. B. Clark and T. W. McMillan, Trustees, of which board Mr. Cossitt was subsequently elected President; William G. Little, Police Magistrate, and Benjamin T. Lewis, Clerk.
July 24, 1879, D. B. Lyman was appointed village attorney, and the Trustees divided themselves by lot into holders of one and two year terms of office, as follows: One year, L. L. Bassford, P. G. Gardner and T. W. McMillan; two year, F. D. Cossitt, J. D. Myers, and E. B. Clark. J. K. Philo was also made Village Treasurer. The poll-tax was declared to be $1.50, for which two days’ labor could be substituted.
August 27, 1879, the prohibitory four-gallon measure became one of the ordinances of the village, and there is not now (1884) a saloon within its limits. The same day David C. Crain was made constable.
Election of April 26, 1880 resulted: P. G. Gardner, T. W. McMillan and F. H. Vallette, Trustees for two years, B. T. Lewis, Clerk and Gustaf A. Johnson, Constable. P. G. Gardner was made President of the board, and J. K. Philo continued in office as Treasurer. William Walmsley was elected to fill the place of J. D. Myers, Trustee, on June 19, 1880, removed from the village, and Samuel Lewis was made Postmaster. The annual appropriation bill for 1879-80 was $350.00—not a very lavish expenditure. The office of village marshal was created August 20, 1880, and Charles P. Amet appointed thereto for two years.
Election April 19, 1881, resulted: William Walmsley, W. W. Weatherstone and E. B. Clark, Trustees, and J. A. Brydon, Clerk. P. G. Gardner was made President of the Board of Trustees, and J. K. Philo, re-appointed Village Treasurer. The office of pound-master was created in May, and George D. Unold appointed thereto; he declined the office, and Gustaf A. Johnson was thereupon appointed.
Election April 18, 1882, resulted: F. D. Cossitt, E. G. Squire, James Travis, Trustees, and J. O. Metcalf, Clerk. E. B. Clark was elected President of the board. The Board of Trustees is composed of six members, three being elected each year for two years. On November 1, 1882, George D. Unold resigned as village marshal, and William LeBerge was appointed.
Election April 17, 1883, whereat one hundred and forty-four votes were cast, resulted: G. M. Fox, H. B. Parker and William Walmsley (President), Trustees; B. T. Lewis,* [*To the courtesy of B. T. Lewis, the collaborator is indebted for an inspection of the village records.] Clerk; Charles Thornton, Police Magistrate—commissioned by the Governor, April 17, 1883—and W. W. Bowker, Constable. J. K. Philo was continued in office as Village Treasurer, and on June 20, 1883, Herbert Morgan was appointed village marshal and pound master.
The post-office is managed by J. K. Philo, Post-master, who thinks the office was established about 1867. To provide the inhabitants, who number about one thousand, with news, the Suburban News is published every Saturday morning by Whitney & Clevinger at 53 and 55 Michigan Avenue, Chicago. The Suburban News is also published in the interest of other suburban towns on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad.
It is contemplated to erect a high school at La Grange, very shortly, the present scholastic facilities being composed of a common school and a kindergarten. Of the former, Miss Dora Winds is principal, and Miss Lillie Winds and Mrs. Emily H. Stuart, assistants, and the kindergarten is taught by Miss Mary F. Fox. The number of pupils in both schools is about one hundred. The school directors of the district, which includes Western Springs, are W. B. Wickersham, president; D. B. Lyman, clerk, and John Unold.
Emanuel Episcopal church is an elegant edifice, constructed in the rural English style of architecture. It is built of stone, and presents one of the prettiest exteriors of any church in the county, outside Chicago. Ground was broken in the spring of 1875, and the corner-stone was laid June 5, of that year. The church cost $8,000, and is out of debt. The vestry are deliberating upon the purchase of an organ, subsequent to which the interior of the church will be embellished and architecturally re-modeled to comport with the exterior. The vestry is composed of D. B. Lyman, senior warden; A. W. Mitchell, junior warden; J. K. Philo, treasurer; Franklin D. Cossitt, W. Walmsley, R. F. Ludwig, H. B. Parker and J. Travis.
The Congregational Church is situated at the corner of Cossitt and Fifth avenues and has a congregation of thirty-six members, and an average attendance of eighty-five persons. The church cost $3,000, is a neat and pretty edifice, and was dedicated in September, 1882. The pastor is William Barnes Frazelle, and the deacons are J. E. Snyder and W. E. Little.
There is also a Baptist Society, numbering about forty members, that meets at Masonic Hall, whose pulpit is supplied by theological students.
La Grange Lodge, Under Dispensation, A. F. & A. M., was inaugurated September 1, 1883. The officers are P. G. Gardner, W. M.; E. G. Stiles, S. W.; E. I. Sackett, J. W.; J. H. Borwell, S.; T. W. McMillan, T.;—Howard, S. D.; C. E. Thornton, J. D., and Charles Thornton, tyler.
La Grange Lodge, No. 693, I. O. O. F., was instituted in May, 1881, with the following officers: L. W. Briggs, N. G.; D. M. Roberts, V. G.; Charles Thornton, secretary; George D. Unold, treasurer, and Charles E. Thornton, P. G. The present officers are G. B. Walker, N. G.; J. W. Darnley, V. G.; Richard Vorpahl, secretary; W. G. Little, treasurer, and W. W. Bowker, S. P. G. The members are thirty-eight.
There is one manufacturing establishment at La Grange, where silversmithing and manufacturing for the jobbing and wholesale trade is performed under the management of J. P. Weatherstone.
The existence of one other institution has to be noted, an unfortunate parenthesis in the history of La Grange, the home of Mrs. Anna Schoeck, particulars whereof can be studied at length in the newspapers of the present year.

The Wolves Among Us (Jerome x OC) - Chapter 26
Chapter Warning: Depictions of Violence/Gore
Chapter One / Previous Chapter / Next Chapter
Jerome strolled down the sidewalk, taking care to avoid the more worn down portions where bits of cement had become splintered and broken off, allowing for dirt and weeds to rise up through the cracks in the way that mother nature tended to in it's never-ending attempt to reclaim the land. It was quite befitting for this part of the city to have such ramshackle structures, as it had undoubtedly seen much, much better days than these; the neighborhood was - for all intents and purposes – derelict, the majority of the buildings having been intended for commercial use for businesses that had long since relocated or failed. Coming to a stop at the corner, the boy looked out over the street, beyond the dilapidated gas station that had once operated on the other side and took in the sight of the sun as it began to dip into the waterline of the river that split the city – one hand was nestled into the warmth and comfort of his sweatshirt as the other raised a half-smoked cigarette to his lips. Sucking in as much of the burning, bitter substance as his lungs could handle, he then slowly released a wispy stream of gray from the corner of his mouth as he pulled his hand from his pocket and glanced at the watch that sat wrapped around his wrist – it was getting close to eight o'clock in the evening, which meant that most pharmacies in the area would be closed up for the night. That was a good thing, as he had reasoned that the only way that he would be able to do what Amelia had asked of him and not wind up killing somebody in the process was to wait until there simply wasn't anybody there to kill.
Craning his neck to the left, Jerome took notice of the old neon sign that jutted out from one of the buildings approximately half a block away – "DRUGS" it read, in big, red letters that were trying their hardest to light up, though they only succeeded in the occasional flicker. The boy peered over his shoulder, scanning the area as though he were making sure that nobody was watching him – nobody was, of course, as there was literally no one around save for himself and a sleeping homeless man a few blocks back. Turning, he approached the store, reaching it in a few long strides before letting out a frustrated groan as he came to a stop in front of it – a deep frown formed on his face as he rolled his shoulder. Upon closer investigation, Jerome found that the sign read "Bryden's Drugs & Liquor Shoppe", and they were, annoyingly, still open for business.
Jerome paused, reasoning that he hadn't explicitly told Amelia that he would not kill anybody, only that he would see what he could do and hey – at least he'd tried, right? Besides, he silently reminded himself, it didn't really fucking matter what she wanted; he was going out of his way – AGAIN – to help her and if she had any sense at all, she'd know to shut up and be grateful.
Climbing to the top of the small stoop that lead to the thick, foggy glass door of the establishment, Jerome tilted his head, peeking inside so as to get an idea as to how many people were there before pushing against the metal bar and stepping into the shop. It was, unsurprisingly, empty – the only inhabitant being an older gentleman who sat behind the front counter, staring at a tiny black and white television that had been situated in the corner. Jerome turned and examined the door, quickly locating the deadbolt and flipping it into the locked position before stepping forward and approaching the counter, his hand wrapping tightly around the gun concealed at his side.
Upon noticing the boy, the old man hastily pushed himself to his feet as he straightened his white coat - looking as though he had been startled by his presence.
"Hi there," He greeted warmly, his voice was deep and calm, almost tired "What can I do for you?"
"Uhhh, need to pick up a few things for a friend," Jerome replied, digging a hand into his back pocket and producing the list that Amelia had made out for him.
"Well, I might be able to help with that. What kind of things are you looking for?"
Jerome simply handed the man the crumpled up piece of paper, watching his reaction closely as his aged hands straightened it out and he took in what had been written. Flicking his eyes between the hooded figure before him and the list in his hand, a concerned expression crossed the gentleman's face.
"Forgive me for prying but these are not typically the kinds of things someone coming in off of the street asks for. The pain meds, maybe...but you've got some pretty strong antibiotics on here too."
"...And?" Jerome asked, a gnawing feeling beginning to grow within him as his thumb rubbed over the textured grip of his weapon.
"It's just that...hell, I won't dance around it – is somebody hurt, son?"
"You're the professional here, ain'tcha? You tell me – do people in good health usually come 'round here lookin' for that kinda stuff?"
The man sighed, but seemed otherwise unfazed by the boy's snarky remark.
"Well, I hate to say it but, the majority of the items on this list require a prescription from a Doctor, and I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't urge you to take this friend of yours in, where they can be properly assessed and treated for...whatever it is that has happened to them," He answered apologetically as he placed the piece of paper on the counter and gently slid it back towards Jerome.
The ginger eyed the parchment, though he did not move to take it.
"I get that," He nodded, "I do but, uhh, ya see...that's really not an option."
"Look, I know that medical bills are outrageous these days and I understand your reluctance but ultimately, you have to do what you have to do. And besides, there are plenty of programs out there to help people pay for these expenses so -"
"Yeah, it ain't like that."
"Then what is it like, son?" The old man questioned softly.
A growl of annoyance blew past Jerome's lips as he pulled the gun from his side, pointing it at the man's belly while he tore his hood back and revealed his face. Feeling his heart quicken with excitement, he readjusted his grip and barely fought back a grin as he watched the color drain from the pharmacist's face.
"'What is it like?' Hmmm, well, that is a hell of a question," The psychopath started, quickly glancing off to the side before returning his gaze to the frightened man before him, "I 'spose to make a long story short ya could just say that I met a girl – I mean, ain't that always the problem? A pretty, young thing catches your attention and before you know it, everything's all outta sorts."
Jerome stepped forward and climbed up on top of the counter, taking a seat and allowing his legs to dangle off of the edge in front of him – the man remained silent, but backed away so as to maintain some space inbetween himself and the maniac. The boy observed him and chuckled lowly as he basked in his terror. He hadn't even done anything yet.
"Ya see, uhhh," Jerome continued, peering down at the guy's name-tag, "Max – Can I call ya Max?"
The man quickly bobbed his head, his eyes darting between the kid's face and the gun in his hand.
"Good. 'Cause ya see, Max...I met a girl. A cute one, too - she's married, of course - but, uhm, one thing led to another and well...we fucked. Her wife found out, though, which was kinda amusing at first but then the bitch went all crazy and stabbed her. Right in front of me – with my own fucking knife, no less. Anyways, I did what I could to stop the bleeding or whatever, but now she's got this fever and she looks like hell, so I'm gonna need you to step into the back and grab me what's on that piece of paper or else I'm gonna be paintin' the walls in here with your insides. Understand?"
Max raised his trembling hands and nodded.
"There...there'll be no need for that, son. Really. Let me, uh, let me go get those things for you. I'll be right back," He stammered before moving cautiously towards the aisles of medicine off in the distance, reluctant to turn away from the boy.
Jerome held his gaze, his face flat and unamused.
"Ya got 'til the count of ten, old man, so I'd step it up if I were you – ya really don't want me to have to come back there and get ya."
With those words, Max nodded and hastily moved towards the back, the sound of bottles being carelessly shoved to the side as he searched for the proper items echoed off the walls.
"One...two...three...," Jerome counted aloud, turning slightly and fidgeting with the scanning device of the cash register for a moment before losing interest, "Four, five, six, seven!"
He fired off the last four numbers rapidly, earning an audible sound of distress from the man, followed by a loud crashing sound. The redhead cackled from his place on the counter, grinning from ear to ear as Max emerged from the back with a small bag, which he eagerly handed over to Jerome.
"Everythin' in there?" The madman grumbled, tilting his head slightly as he peaked at the bag's contents.
"Yes. Everything's there."
"Ya wouldn't lie to me, would ya, Max?"
"No, no. Everything that was on that list is there, I promise. Now please, just...just go," The man pleaded.
"You're kickin' me out? Aw – and here I thought we were havin' fun."
"Please. I've given you what you've asked for. This doesn't have to go any further. I won't report anything, just...please."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Jerome sighed, rolling his eye's dramatically, "But uh, just one more thing."
"What's that?" Max asked.
Without warning, Jerome raised his weapon, pressing the barrel between the man's eyes and mercilessly pulling the trigger – he watched with morbid joyfulness as the bright, fresh blood and bits of brain matter splattered across the wall behind where the man had once stood.
"Nothin' personal, buddy," The boy mumbled, giggling a small amount as he hopped down from the counter and stepped over the old man's corpse.
And it really wasn't personal, at least not in the way that the man had brought it on himself, because truly, he hadn't. Sure, Jerome had enjoyed toying with him and watching the fear and surprise cross his face in the seconds before he had pulled the trigger, but he had gotten the distinct impression that Max had probably been a decent enough guy, though Jerome cruelly considered how that had done nothing for him in the end.
Strolling back towards the front of the store, the boy stopped only to grab a bottle of water out of the cooler, taking a look back at the puddle of blood that had slowly begun to spread across the linoleum before he unlocked the door, pushed it open, and stepped out into the night.
A/N: Hey! So, uhm, surprise, surprise – Jerome killed somebody. Not really a shocker, I know, and I might have had a bit more fun writing this chapter than I should have, but I do love writing Jerome when he's being an evil shit, even if I'm not so great at it. I'm trying, though – an effort is being made, I promise. I'll freakin' get there =P. Anyways, this chapter, ideally, is kind of supposed to give a little insight into what's goin' on in Jerome's head in regards to Amelia – we see that he's acknowledging that there's something there, and we also see that he's actually almost...I dunno, angry, about it, too, as it's got him a little fucked up. I imagine that Jerome would perceive any kind of real...attachment type of feelings that he might be developing as being deeply, deeply disconcerting and be vehemently opposed to them as all they would do, in his opinion, is distract him and stir up trouble where he doesn't want it. And so, I mean, while he does try to put himself in a situation where he can uphold what Amelia had asked of him and NOT kill anybody, the moment he is given the opportunity to kill the man or leave, he opts to kill the man...almost to spite Amelia, even. Like, I'll probably touch more on it a little bit in the future, but make no mistake that what he did to Max was definitely inspired by this nagging feeling that Jerome is experiencing, like this need to prove that Amelia does not have a hold over him and that he's still his own person. I dunno, boy's got some conflict happening inside him is really the point I'm making, I guess. Moving on though, we're getting towards the end here – of part one anyway, I have a whole slew of idea's for a part two that I'm currently working on sorting through and I'm super, super excited to get there. Shit's gonna get interesting, is all I'm sayin' – well, hopefully, anyways, guess you guys will be the judge of that when we get there. Anyways, as always, thank you for reading and I apologize for any errors I may have missed. Also a huge thank you to everyone who has sent in Reviews/Feedback – you guys really know how to pick me back up when I can't find the motivation to write or do shit, so thank you so much for your kind words. I really, really appreciate you guys!
