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”
Heads Will Roll – Chapter Seven
NOT EDITED Three drops of blood. The rest of the school had been clean, but the basement had held blood. Bo pulled his homemade blood tester out of his camera bag and plugged it into his phone. From there, he swiped a test strip through one of the blood drops and inserted it into theContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Seven”
Heads Will Roll – Chapter Six
NOT EDITED Bo climbed out of the cruiser practically the second Rick had put it into park and headed up toward the school. Not necessarily in a hurry, but definitely on a mission. Bridget followed, and after a moment, so did Rick, jogging lightly to catch up to the woman. “How long have you knownContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Six”
Heads Will Roll – Chapter Five
NOT EDITED Almost two thousand miles away, in California, Bo Austen lowered himself into one of the chairs in front of LAPD Chief Jamal Pitman’s desk. The older black man offered a smile. “I know being in the West Department makes you a bit uncomfortable, and I’m sorry for that. But I didn’t want toContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Five”
