Wichita is the
largest city in Kansas and recognized as one of the major mid-sized
cities in the nation. Founded in 1868, the city enshrined the name
of Wichita Indians, who had made that area their home. Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
The people of Wichita take great pride in their community, a fact which
has earned the city the national distinction of "All American City" not
once, but three times. Home to Boeing, Cessna, Learjet and
Ratheon, the city has also been nicknamed the "Air Capital of the
World." In this booming city with one of the best economies in the
nation, something terrible was born. It's hard to say just when it
happened and how long it took to reach maturity. No doubt it began as a
fantasy, an angry internal cauldron of hate and frustration. Slowly,
the fantasy became an obsession that demanded fulfilment. The planning
and execution of this seminal event took over his conscious thought.
Just once, he told himself, and then he would be free of this
overwhelming need. It wouldn't be necessary to ever risk doing
it again. But he was deluding himself. The trophies, the photos,
and the memories were poor substitutes for the electrifying thrill and
release of the act itself. The power he felt when he held a life in his
hands was unparalleled. There just had to be some way to continue what
he was doing without getting caught. Stopping was not exactly an option
he had to consider. Of course there was a way. For someone with
his intellect, there was always a way. Cops are stupid, he knew that.
No match for him. No Harvard graduates there on the Wichita police
force. If he was careful, there was no reason for him not to indulge
himself as many times as he wished. Truth be told, that element of
danger added to his excitement and kept him on his guard.
