History
Obsession
Detective Van Patrick had been working on the case of Johnny Corwin for several years. Corwin had been on a murder spree for a while, but then he stopped all of a sudden. A few months after he disappeared, Corwin resurfaced in the home of Van Patrick. Brian came home from work to discover that his home had been broken into. He called for back up and then cautiously entered his home with gun in hand. Brian checked all the rooms on the first floor and he found nothing. So, he moved upstairs and opened the door to the master bedroom to discover his wife tied up. He ran in, but was hit in the back of the head.
Johnny Corwin was standing next to Brian with a huge grin on his face. Corwin tied up Van Patrick and then stabbed him in the stomach. Brian's wife cried out for her husband and Corwin turned his attention to her. Corwin walked up to Brian's pregnant wife and shot her in the head. In extreme anger, Brain broke free of his restraints and attacked Corwin. Johnny stabbed Brian several more times, but he managed to push Corwin out of a nearby window. Brian's back up arrived along with paramedics who managed to save his unborn child. His son, Michael, was alive, but he had brain damage. In order to help his son, Brian decided to use Abraham Erskine's special Brazilian revolutionary diet and isometric exercise regime to see if his grandfather's theories were right. The theories happened to be true, and within twenty years, Michael Van Patrick became one of the greatest student athletes in the country. Even though his son would recover, Brian was even more determined to put an end to Johnny Corwin.
