acob stared at the two bodies, and his stomach rolled. It had been a long time since he’d lost it at a crime scene, but this was beyond anything he’d ever seen. It stretched from wall to wall on every surface of the kitchen, even the ceiling.

“This isn’t TBK’s style,” Jade said. It was the first thing any of them had spoken since the forensics team had cleared them to enter the kitchen.

“No fuck?” Mullins shook his head. “What’s she supposed to be doing? Giving him head?”

“He’s defacing the bodies. This is more personal than the others. There’s rage here. Coroner said the penis was removed postmortem.” Jade tip-toed closer to peer at the woman posed with her face resting on one of the man’s thighs.

Whoever she was, it would be a closed casket funeral now. The eyes were gone and much of the skull appeared to be crushed. She was completely unrecognizable.

“Any ID?” Brooks asked.

“Nothing,” Jacob replied. “House is registered to a Pearl Jones, who died a couple years ago. They’re still searching the house for something that will tell us who these two are, but it’s kind of a dump.” And that was before someone had splattered the kitchen with pints of blood.

“He prefers areas with hard surfaces,” Mullins said. When the man concentrated, a slight brogue slipped into his voice. “They were attacked in the living room. I’m guessing they were getting it on, killer knocked them out then dragged them in here.”

“Clean up?” Jade suggested.

Brooks shook his head. “He doesn’t bother.”

“Flat surfaces.” Jacob gestured to the same blood void they’d found at the two previous scenes. “We think he’s filming these, right? Well, he needs a flat surface to put the camera on.”

Jade, Mullins, and Brooks stared at him, similar blank expressions on their faces.

“Fuck, that’s good, Detective.” Mullins wagged his finger at him. “The living room is trashed. The lighting is bad. He drags them in here to get a better shot on the camera, and no one lets their kitchen lights burn out because how are you going to make toast without light?”

“Toast?” Jade blinked at him.

“Throwing out ideas, love.” Mullins patted Jade on the shoulder.

“Lali hasn’t been able to track down the footage since we told her Payton’s theory,” Brooks said as though he were simply thinking out loud.

“Maybe it’s a trophy?” Jacob suggested. He really should keep his mouth shut. These were the profilers, he was just a detective.

“Perhaps.” Jade shrugged. “The eyes follow the TBK MO, but he’s evolving. He’s finding his own identity.”

“We’re treating TBK and TBKiller as two separate people now?” Jacob asked.

“Yes, I think it’s safe to say that though TBKiller is inspired by TBK, he’s found himself. The question is, what is he?”

“You know, I haven’t seen any letters around here.” Mullins paced into the living room and back. “Have you?”

“Once TBK hit the media he eased off sending letters to the victims ahead of time. There were notes and hints of who he would go after in the letters he sent to the police and newspaper, but that was it.
