SERIAL KILLER STILL AT LARGE read the newspaper headline. I quickly studied the article for any relevant information on the killer's possible looks or last known whereabouts. All at once, my mind started working on all cylinders to point me to where he was likely to strike next. 
 
 *flashback* 
 I first discovered I could do this when I taught myself to read at age 3 and then could read at a 12th grade level. Since then, my grades were pretty good until people started catching on and I knew just what answers to get wrong to not convince them I was cheating. Even so, I have never been popular because people find me intimidating. The typical `` dumb jocks'' and `` dumb blondes'' are jealous of me and the geeks are afraid that this insatiable curiosity will lead to Sylar-from-Heroes-esque brain-stealing. That is why most of my friends are books.

 In short order, I ended up in a very bad part of town. I did n't want to be there but, hey, I was able to deduce that I needed to be there and I've never steered myself wrong before. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a young woman on the street who fits the killer's victim profile. I parked my car and dashed over. 
 `` Excuse me'' I said. `` but you are going to have to come with me.'' 
 `` What!'' she says. `` Did I do something wrong? Are you a cop?'' 
 `` No, but you are in danger.'' I say as I coaxed her into my car and headed towards the police station just passing a suspicious-looking white van. It gets away but I take down the license number to show the cops when I bring her in. It turns out that I've not only saved his next victim by bringing her to the police but the van was the killer's. Another crisis averted by The Student.
