NOT EDITED Chapter Five Monday: June 15, 2020 6:00 AM; DAVID QUINN’S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM Bo hadn’t slept a wink the night before. He couldn’t. The look on Jensen’s face in that damn alleyway had haunted him all night, no matter how hard he had tried to push it away.

The Highway Axeman – Chapter Four
NOT EDITED Chapter Four 7:00 PM; LOS ANGELES, THE ATLANTIS HOTEL, PARKING LOT A young man sat in the driver’s seat of a car parked in the hotel’s front parking lot, one hand toying with his lanyard, spinning it around his hand, unwinding it, spinning it the opposite direction. It was more or less theContinue reading “The Highway Axeman – Chapter Four”
The Highway Axeman – Chapter Three
NOT EDITED Chapter Three 6:30 PM; LOS ANGELES, THE ATLANTIS HOTEL, PARKING LOT After Bo successfully ignored all of his text and call attempts, David climbed out of his car and headed up to the hotel. As long as Bo hadn’t switched rooms, he’d be on the second floor. For a while, he had beenContinue reading “The Highway Axeman – Chapter Three”
The Highway Axeman – Chapter Two
NOT EDITED Chapter Two 8:45 AM; LOS ANGELES, THE ATLANTIS HOTEL, PARKING LOT Bo had bought breakfast for Lyle before taking him back to his hotel.

NOT EDITED Chapter One Sunday: June 14, 2020 7:30 AM; LOS ANGELES, SLICE OF LIFE DINER The Slice of Life Diner had always been one of the only places that felt like home to Bo Austen.

Heads Will Roll – Chapter Thirty
A/N: Thank you, Samm, for the contribution toward the website!

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-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”
