NOT EDITED Chapter Nine After Carol Sawyer had collected herself, she invited Dallas and Bo inside. Now they sat in her living room, each of them armed with a single cup of coffee. Bo sat beside Dallas on the couch, an open notebook on his lap and a pencil poised and ready for note-taking. ForContinue reading “S. Carved – Chapter Nine”

NOT EDITED Chapter Eight Dallas endured Bo’s silence for nearly an hour before Mister Richardon finally came out with the security footage they needed. The drive back to the police station had been silent, as had the walk through the parking lot, and Dallas followed Bo all the way to the stairs before the shorterContinue reading “S. Carved – Chapter Eight”

NOT EDITED Chapter Seven Saturday: February 9, 2008 Dallas had barely gotten breakfast onto the two plates on the counter before his little brother walked out into the kitchen, still in his pajamas. “Hey, wasn’t expecting you to wake up early today.

Carved – Chapter Four”

If nothing else, he managed to stay on his feet rather than fall face first onto the corpse. Though that’d be pretty hilarious, huh,Continue reading “S. Carved – Chapter Three”

NOT EDITED Chapter Two After a mostly silent ride, Dallas parked his car in the lot outside the diner. “You want me to come in with you?” “I’ll leave that up to you,” Bo said. “Does your analyst normally go in with you?” “Not usually, no.” “All right. I’ll stay here. Mind grabbing me aContinue reading “S. Carved – Chapter Two”
