Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Nine

NOT EDITED A brief treck through the treeline around the lake had revealed no obvious signs of a corpse, so Bo had called Dallas for a ride to their killer’s house. Though he still believed it made the most sense to keep the soon-to-be-revived body near the scene of the final steps of the ritual,Continue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Nine”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Eight

A/N: I’m sorry if the formatting on this chapter is incredibly weird. I switched writing programs since Docs feeds whatever you write on it into the AI to “train” it, and the download of the OG document into the new software changed the way things look and I haven’t yet figured out how to actuallyContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Eight”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Seven

NOT EDITED While Bo had stayed behind at the lake to wait on the coroner, Dallas had driven Rick and the kids to Ellepath’s small clinic. In LA, he’d get reamed for leaving a shooting like that, but he had a feeling that in Ellepath, the logistics didn’t matter much. Rick certainly hadn’t put upContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Seven”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Six

**A/N: I REALLY struggled with this chapter. Like, staring at every day for two months and not being able to make any progress, struggled. To finally get past the section that was giving me the most trouble, I just kind of jotted down roughly what happens, and I’ll eventually write that scene out in fullContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Six”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Five

NOT EDITED By the time Jeff and Bridget heard the voicemail on Rick’s work phone, he’d already received a call on his cell. Now, he stood in the entryway of an empty farmhouse on the outskirts of Ellepath, hands held up by his head, eyes trained on the gun pointed at his face. It hadContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Five”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Four

NOT EDITED “The blood from the basement was definitely fresh from the father of the original killer in California, but the one from Carol Jameson’s scene came back positive for EDTA, and so did the reporter’s blood from Logan’s bedroom.” “And… what’s that, exactly?” Jeff asked, leaned back against one of the evidence shelves, armsContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Four”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Three

NOT EDITED Bonnie lifted her head as a door opened and closed upstairs. The footsteps overhead were heavier than usual. She heard him grumble something to himself before the door to the basement opened. He was carrying something. Someone. He was about halfway down the stairs when the light from the windows lit the child’sContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Three”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Two

NOT EDITED Rick woke to Heidi standing up from the couch first, his cell ringing in his pocket second. Eyes still closed, he fished his phone out of his pocket, swiped his finger across the bottom of the screen, and pressed the device to his ear. “Downs.” “Hello, Rick.” “Who is this?” “Who do youContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-Two”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-One

NOT EDITED Saturday: February 1, 2014 Bo had managed to sleep straight through the night, something he usually didn’t even accomplish back home. Sure, five in the morning was certainly considered early for most people, but it was still a lot later than he normally managed in one go. In the clinic’s little break room,Continue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty-One”

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty

NOT EDITED In the basement of Ellepath’s little clinic, Bo had just begun photographing Jordan Sherman’s clothed body when the door opened. He glanced up before his focus returned to his camera. “Mister Pitman.” “Bo,” Jamal greeted from the doorway. “I want to sincerely apologize for Katherine’s… presence here. That never should have happened. “ItContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty”
