I Still Need to Know...

...where to go.

Where am I going? What am I doing? Following a trail of breadcrumbs left by a sociopath is like something out of a comic book. I feel like going "Holy smokes, Batman! The explosion happened at sea - a C! For Catwoman! Catwoman must be behind this!"

I'm well rested now, but I've got nowhere to go. I keep looking through Karen's diary. Looking at that stupid coded message for me. Is this whole thing a fake? Why go to all that trouble? Why do this at all?

I want to throw this book back into the lake. I want to forget about the Jester and the Misfits and the Man in the Seersucker Suit and the Wooden Girl. But I can't. Because Derek is alive somewhere and I'm going to find him.

Now where should I go next?
