NOT EDITED Theodore sat down beside Gina on her couch, eyes landing on Vera.

S. Carved – Chapter Thirteen

NOT EDITED Chapter Thirteen Sunday: February 10, 2008 Thanks to Ed and a couple nightmares thrown his way, Dallas had spent another night sleeping like garbage.

Books & Badges – Thirty-Nine

NOT EDITED Later that evening, as promised, Russell had picked Theodore up from the bookstore at five.

Books & Badges – Thirty-Eight

NOT EDITED Russell dropped into his desk chair, another fresh cup of coffee in his hand. He took a sip, drawing in a deep breath as he set the mug down.

S. Carved – Chapter Eleven

NOT EDITED Chapter Eleven Through with the car dealer, Dallas slid back into the driver’s seat of the cruiser and handed Bo the picture of the van from the security footage. “Guy in there identified it as a 2007 Chevy Express 1500 Passenger Van.

S. Carved – Chapter Ten

NOT EDITED Chapter Ten “I have it,” Bo assured for the sixth time as he pushed the television toward Dallas’s desk. “Are you sure?” Bo stopped long enough to meet Dallas’s eye. “My short stature and thin frame don’t determine my ability to roll a cart across the room, Mister Silver.” Dallas couldn’t help butContinue reading “S. Carved – Chapter Ten”

Books & Badges – Chapter Thirty-Six

NOT EDITED After lunch with Theodore, which had turned out to mostly be a long hug on the hood of his car with Theodore instead, Russell had headed back to the station.
