The Guardian

“Just letting you know I’m out there.” Is all the voice would say, and then he was gone.
    As for Gil Johnson, he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for his sexual crimes against a child under the age of fourteen. Along with his prison term, he would be required to register as a sex offender. He would be required to attend counseling sessions for his mental problems. Just like other sex offenders, he would be isolated in a different section of the prison. He was in special danger because it was children. They had a section for the special ones. The rats, the snitches, and the child molesters are kept away from the general population for life safety reasons. Even convicts have a limit.
    The grand prizewinner was Jack Gorman. He not only had child sex offenses against him, he had kidnapping, enslavement, and a laundry list of other federal charges. Each one tripled for the three girls that he had held captive. He would spend the rest of his life in prison. He would never know the luxuries of freedom least of all the control with which he abused his captors.
    The legal investigations into the practices of child care and welfare of the children assigned at Child Welfare Offices are on going. At this particular time, no decisions or convictions have been made either way. Again, the fate of the children is in the hands of courts.
    The fact that all of them, the perverted pedophiles, were permanently marked to display to the world who and what they were. The state could not see fit financially beneficial to have the scars on their foreheads removed. It would be a constant reminder to all who would see them. It was just as the Guardian had planned it. Gorman’s estate and all that he had owned would be taken over by the courts and dispensed with accordingly. Jack had no family, relatives, or other persons of interest to take control. Therefore, the state took care of that for him. The mothers filed suite and the three girls would be handsomely compensated from any monies that were gotten from the liquidation of Gorman’s estate. Even though the money was more than they would spend in a life time, it wouldn’t help ease the pain of the years of counseling that they would have to endure just so they could lead a normal life.
    These are only the few. The domino effect that had been caused by these monster’s actions could never be undone. It was only the beginning.
    Halloway and Griffin didn’t realize it but their work had just begun. They were nowhere near done yet. There were more surprises in store.
