Seven days. I went back seven days in a row, the same windows I have in the log plus odd hours in case he moved the window on me. Nothing. No clipboard, no perimeter walk, no him. Day seven I stood in the upper lot long enough that the woman from the second floor asked if I was locked out. I said no. I wasnt.

The walks stopped the same week this documentation went visible. Write that down. Same week. The route pages went up on a Tuesday. no. Wednesday. doesnt matter. By Friday the lot was just a lot.

People will say "seasonal staffing," he got reassigned. Sure. A man walks the same loop four times in eleven days and the week I publish the route he stops. I know a pulled asset when I see one. They pulled him.

Or the stopping is aimed. Showing me it can stop. Either way I still check the lot at 6:40 and 9:15, the two windows he favored. 6:40 and 9:15. My father kept every receipt in a shoebox with the year on the lid. Anyway.
