Update #2

Jack is still disturbed. He's opened up a little more, but not much. He still spends much of his time blankly staring off into space. I don't want to imagine what must be going through his mind right now. I think this may even be the first time he is fully realizing the danger this creature poses - his own actions back in Alabama may be hitting him full force for the first time.

Anyway, I decided to take a better look through this phone. I have found it odd to say the least that this phone has managed to stay charged for several weeks. So I opened up the battery door. There was just a normal battery in there, nothing out of the ordinary. After that I decided to inspect the device's software. Everything appeared fine until I started reading old text messages.

Here is one message, from the number "252-2513"; there was no area code: "eW91IHdpbGwgbm90IGVzY2FwZS4gdGhlIGN5Y2xlIHdpbGwgbm90IGJlIGJyb2tlbi4=" It was sent on June 18th. Jack's birthday.

There are a lot like this, but this one message was sent three times on the same day for some reason.

Also: Jack's middle name is Anderson.
