"Jo?" he echoed, purposely ignoring her last question. "Joanna or Joanne? Either way it's a lovely name."<br/><br/>There was a lot in a name, or so some particular groups claimed. They say that your name's origin and meaning have a heavy impact on your life's outcomes, and small contained-poll studies seemed to corroborate their claims with a few statistics correlated to names. He found it interesting that his own name, Ian, was a bastardized derivative of the Hebrew name for John,<span style="font-style: italic">Yochanan,</span>but found it infinitely more fascinating that Joanna was also a derivative of the same word. There wasn't a lot of merit behind those skewed statistics to begin with, but this was almost laughable. Their name had the exact same meaning, and turned out to be much different people.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">God is gracious.</span><br/><br/>He laughed under his breath at the irony. Where was God when he killed those people? Obviously not helping them. And now that he was left to rot in prison, God was no where to be seen. So much for being gracious.<br/><br/>Ian's self-amused chuckles died down and his head rolled lazily along his shoulders to stare at the mirror, where he was certain Detective Sandin and the warden and probably a few other onlookers stood with bated breath at every single thing that he might say. He tapped his names idly against the armrests as he picked his head back up to study the letter one more time. There was nothing special about it. Five words and a smiley face, but just the letter alone wasn't the reason for the chill up his spine. It was the<span style="font-style: italic">implication.</span>Somewhere, there was someone that wanted to take the credit for Ian's murders, possibly even copying him right down to the handiwork. The chill that was running up and down his back wasn't one of fear or anger or irritation, it was one of excitement.<br/><br/>Pale eyes locked with those of Jo's across from him. "I might have some things to discuss, yes," he finally confirmed. "Off the record, of course."
