<strong>Kid Arrow,<br/>October 19, 1985,<br/>Day Dr. Manhattan Leaves for Mars,<br/>Evening</strong><br/><br/>From McKenzie's Notes:<br/><br/>Went to funeral, saw Manhattan, Veidt and Dreiberg.  Followed investigation into Dreiberg by tailing her.  Subject spoke with Veidt, shook hands, made friendly, returned home.  Watched subject for half-day.  Investigation fruitless.  Considered line of questioning stupid.  Just stabs at dark.  Don't know anything.  Relying on military intelligence bad idea.  Took better photographs of subject.<br/><br/>Returned to Fed Building.  Picked up Hollis Mason's book, Under the Hood, from a news stand.  Thought it was bombastic and egotistical, like most biographies.  Strange, reading personal details of people you know not as fun as I thought it might be.  Question arises:  How many people know Blake's secret identity?<br/><br/>Revelation:  Blake's secret identity worst kept secret ever.<br/><br/>I go to Hollis Mason's auto garage to look around.  Discover pertinent documents that finger Dreiberg as Nite Owl.  Dreiberg and Mason chummy.  Curious at relationship?  Responses to questions seem to indicate that Dreiberg is a homosexual.  You are not getting any love, Mr. Mason.  What's the connection?  I take a black-and-white photo of Mason and Dreiberg together.  Wonder who took the picture?  Mason lives alone.  So does Dreiberg.<br/><br/>Refuse to believe Mason in any way has formed relationship with Dreiberg just to be friends, grandfatherly, a good samaritan.  I have adopted the idea that masked crusaders are sexual deviants.  Explain use of spandex otherwise.<br/><br/>Feel like a heel mistreating Mason in notes.  Nice man.  Feel bad about the whole age thing.  Mason's very lonely, but too persistent for his own good.  Might do him good to go to a California resort with somebody like the first Silk Specter.  He'd probably never do it.<br/><br/>Sat and watched Dr. Manhattan on late night TV.  Cancer revelation curious.  Jon has been Jon for twenty five years; cancer reports 25 years after the fact curious.  People get cancer from contaminated water faster.  I think.  New revelation just came in the last hour:  Dr. Manhattan gone to Mars.<br/><br/>So, Comedian's dead.  Dr. Manhattan's gone.<br/><br/>Thank god we still have a government.<br/><br/>Tomorrow night, intensify search.
