Eight.

August 8, 1998. The days have aligned, 8 the perfect number. I just can't stop thinking about it. My mind is rushing. Whenever I talk to anyone, all I hear them say is 8, over and over again. And then it hit me, I have to sacrifice 8 souls so I could be free.

Bureau Case #758 Entry One
The local police has gotten reports of a group of joggers that went missing somewhere in the desert. The trail has went cold. The have given jurisdiction to the bureau due to some of the victims that came from other states. We have yet to find any further clues. We investigated the nearby town to ask the locals but they were... less than cooperative.

After being declared a cold case for several years, we have decided to investigate the town near the last reported locations of the victims again. We have struck gold as we heard of several rumors of a Mr. Merle Abrahams acting crazy and psychotic since the day of the disappearances. We tried to go to my Abrahams for questioning only to find out that his house has been burnt down by some of the locals effectively exiling him from the town. After investigating his burnt down home, he have found some interesting writing on the walls such as "8 Is just infinity stood up" and "there will be 8". We thought this was proof he wasn't involved as there were only 7 victims but seeing as he is the only lead we had, we decided to find him.

Merle Abrahams Journal Entry One
Those pigs don't understand, I was simply achieving perfection. 8 is endless, I will live forever when I unlock its secrets. Those bastards don't deserve me and my breakthrough. How dare they burn down my house, my home!? Calling me insane, treating me like garbage. Well I will have the last laugh! I have found refuge at a small town in the desert, just on the other side of the mountain. Here I will finally sacrifice the 8th soul. It is a shame there were only seven of them, it made my job a lot harder but now. I will finally end it, once and for all. I will be free.

October 27. 2002
After another long cold period we have found Mr. Abrahams in a small town in the desert. Thanks to an anonymous tip. Although I know who he is because he has a local talk radio. The tip is rumored to be working with a local psychopath/drug dealer but that is a case for another day. We found Mr. Abrahams in a small decrepit shack with graffiti drawn on the wall. Just like his last house, it was just riddled with 8's.

After we arrested him, he said "I knew you were coming 8 days ago". This guy has clearly an obsession with the number 8 so I must ask him why he only had 7 victims.

Merle Abrahams Journal Entry Two
The cops are on to me, I had to escape to the hills and write my message on the stone in the hope that someone would find and finish my work. The will be arriving in 8 days so I better make this quick. As I write onto the walls: One is done

Two was fun

Three tried to run

Four called mom

Fives not alive

Six is nix

Seven is in Heaven

8 Won't wait

I feel the heat getting closer. I moved onto a rock higher up the hill and wrote!

The want me, the can have

But still they could never get my people

Even though I shall leave them sign enough

where they put me.

I hope someone could understand my work, my masterpiece! Even if they arrest me, they could never take that away!

Bureau Case #758 Entry Three
Interrogation Transcripts

Agent: So, Merle, I think you know why you are in here.

Merle: I do, this is just the bureau, the government trying to hide the truth! I know the secrets of 8.

Agent: You clearly have an obsession with the number 8, so why did you only kill seven victims?

Merle: Do you know the secrets of 8? Do you want to know what you are you blindly following the government into covering up for?

Agent: Answer the damn question!

Merle: 8, is infinity! It will unlock eternity! If you only knew what I knew, you wouldn't be defending the corrupt hierarchy you call a government.

Agent: Stop changing the damn question! Why did you only kidnap seven victims!? Where are their bodies!? If you have any morality, you would at least allow closure to the seven families you destroyed.

Merle: The question you should be asking is why a "Psychopath" like my is obsessed with 8. See? I am doing your job for you. That is how much I pity you.

Agent: Ok smart ass, Why!? why are you so obsessed with this stupid number? what is so special about 8? Wall the crap you have been telling me makes no sense!

Merle: Hehe, now your playing the game. It is simple, 8 is perfection... 8 is infinity.

Though the interrogation led to nowhere. We did find multiple blood stained weapons at his hideout. We managed to convict him on kidnapping as to this day, we have never found the bodies. And he has yet to confess to the murders. This is it, it is finally over. But we still hope to find the bodies to give closure to the families.

Merle Abrahams Journal Entry Three
Here I am, imprisoned along with the scum of our ancestors loins. Longing for freedom, to finish what I have started.

I must leave a message to whomever finds finds my writings on the stones at the hill. In the hope of someone finding and appreciating my masterpiece. I wrote onto the dirty prison wall: Where water meets the land and fire once spewed forth, there the infinite 8 shall stay... until my return.

After some time of thinking, I figured out a way to finish my masterpiece. I shall take my own life, as I could not live like this any longer. And with that, I shall be part of my masterpiece.

After years of this being a cold case. We decided to send the report to one of the local Bureau heroes in the hope that he could find the bodies. We will send all of the files and evidence to Special Agent David Norton who was most known for killing infamous bank robber Michael Townly. We hope he has much luck at his post in Los Santos.
