Heads Will Roll – Chapter Nineteen

NOT EDITED Rick and Bo beat Bridget and Jeff to the lake, but unfortunately for everyone, Kathy had beaten all of them. Rick climbed out of the cruiser, slamming the door behind him. “Are you fucking kidding me?” he asked. “What the fuck are you doing here?” “Nice to see you too,” Kathy said, leanedContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Nineteen”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Eighteen

NOT EDITED Bridget sat down in front of Rick’s desk, arms crossed over her chest. “I called Jamal. He wasn’t aware Kathy had even left LA, let alone come here. So far, she’s not answering any of his phone calls. But once we deduce where she went, she’ll be sent home, and Bo’s notebook willContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Eighteen”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Seventeen

NOT EDITED Despite Rick practically chasing her out to the parking lot, Kathy had climbed into her rental car and driven away from the station. He headed back inside and made his way down to the basement. Jeff was stationed outside in the hall, arms crossed over his chest and his head tilted back againstContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Seventeen”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Sixteen

NOT EDITED Bonnie tilted her head back against the cold metal pole as a door closed above her. She had come to assume that particular door was one that led outside. Likely a front door, but maybe a back door made more sense, given that she’d heard it shortly before the man had come toContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Sixteen”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Fifteen

NOT EDITED After dealing with Gerry’s particular brand of ‘compliance’, Bridget had texted a picture of his shoe treads to Bo, and she and Jeff had headed out to Tina Young’s house. Jeff had just shifted into park when Bridget’s phone buzzed with a text back from Bo. “They aren’t a match,” she said. “Damn.”Continue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Fifteen”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Fourteen

NOT EDITED “I heard about Carol. It’s absolutely horrific,” the high school’s receptionist, Lilly, whispered. “Do you guys think it’s related to Bonnie?” “I’m sorry, Lilly, I can’t say much about an ongoing investigation,” Jeff said. “Not even to me?” Jeff shook his head. “I’m sorry, Lil. I can’t. But, uh, hey. I’ve got aContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Fourteen”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Thirteen

NOT EDITED Friday: January 31, 2014 Rick had still been awake when Bo texted him just after midnight, asking if he was available to give him a ride back to the station. When he arrived at Carol’s house, he found Bo seated on the front steps, head tilted back against the railing, a cigarette heldContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Thirteen”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twelve

NOT EDITED Rick was not proud of himself for needing to leave the scene, and he was even less impressed with himself for being unable to make it into the cruiser before his knees gave out on him. After he had collected himself enough to drive home, he had taken as long of a routeContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twelve”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Eleven

NOT EDITED The entryway had been the true ‘start’ of the chase, but the kitchen had been the second stop. Two of the drawers were open, and the knife block on the counter was tipped over, though none of the knives were missing. “It’s one of those childproof ones,” Rick said quietly after Bo hadContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Eleven”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Ten

NOT EDITED Carol Jameson’s front door was closed, and the doorknob wasn’t busted. That was the extent of Rick, Jeff, and Bridget’s examination of the palace before they started questioning the neighbors. If Bo wanted the house untouched, they’d leave it for him, even if it meant overfilling the blonde’s plate. If it was whatContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Ten”
