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.

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.

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.

That never should have happened. “ItContinue reading “Heads Will Roll – Chapter Twenty”
Heads Will Roll – Chapter Nineteen
NOT EDITED Rick and Bo beat Bridget and Jeff to the lake, but unfortunately for everyone, Kathy had beaten all of them.

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.

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.

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”
