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”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Nine

NOT EDITED Rick lifted his head as Jeff dropped into one of the chairs in front of his desk. “So I’m guessing nothing came of any good hiding places?” he asked. Jeff shook his head. “No. Couple rats, a big raccoon. That’s about it. Did you guys already go check out Tina’s place again?” “NotContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Nine”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Eight

NOT EDITED “Any chance you’d let me take you out for a drink or two tonight?” Bridget lifted her head, expecting to meet Jeff’s gaze. Instead, she found him toying with the lid of Bo’s centrifuge. “What’s your girlfriend going to think?” “We truly are off again. I’m not a cheater.” “She moves fast.” JeffContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Eight”
