Reaper II: Neophyte
Page 6
“I know,” she sobbed. “I know.”
“Did you get a look at the person who… killed him?”
“It’s going to sound strange.”
“Try me.”
She tossed back the whisky shot and grimaced.
“I think it was a woman—a woman with black dreadlocks, wearing a monster mask and skin-tight black leather. Head to toe black leather.”
“That is strange,” I agreed, pouring her another shot.
“But I’m glad she was there.” She shuddered. “I just know he was gonna kill me this time. He threatened me before, you now that?”
“No, I didn’t know that.” I handed her the next shot. “Why didn’t you go to the police?”
“The cops?” Lizabeth gave a miserable laugh. “What were they gonna do? His dad’s a judge, for fuck’s sake.”
A judge.
No wonder the guy had thought that he could get away with murder.
He already had, once and without his father’s help, at that.
Poor Sarah Andrews…
For the sake of the family that was likely still looking for her, hoping that she might come home one day, I was going to have to make yet another anonymous call to the police.
A call describing to them where and how to find yet another body, with yet another hapless victim’s name for their records.
Sarah Andrews.
At least her family might be able to find some peace in bringing her home, to a final resting place in her family’s own burial plot, rather than the few feet of dirt out at Jimmy Blaire’s uncle’s cabin.
At least they would finally know what had happened to her…
Sarah Andrews.
One more reason for me to become a cop.
Up next?
