Chapter Eight

“Jesus fucking Christ, this a nightmare.”

Trey took his eyes off the coroner’s tentative review of the still-hanging body and trained his attention instead on his partner. “Which part? The one where we have to figure out how in the hell the killer managed to string the victim over the side of a bridge without being seen? Or the part where we have to accept that we have a quickly-escalating serial killer, which means the feds are on their way to shove us aside?”

Grabbing the railing in front of him, he leaned over and studied the teeming crowd of looky-loos below. “Or the part where we’re trying to do what’s left of our jobs in front of the entire fucking city?”

The beautiful summer morning encouraged people to practically treat the horror show unfolding on one of the city’s landmarks like a fun outing. Street vendors had followed the flow of people and even now hocked treats and drinks in an obscene display that put him in mind of old-fashioned executions. Worse, people were buying the stuff and sitting on the grass or strolling around, watching as the pathetic and bloodless remains of an as-yet unknown victim were poked and prodded.

“Hey, Doc, can you please move this along?”

Almadeo shot him an irritated glance from where he was bent almost in half, trying to examine the body. “Nearly done, Duncan.”

Trey grimaced and busied himself studying the site, even though he’d already been doing so for the last couple of hours. The perp had managed to string the vic into an almost cross-like position, which would assuredly drive the media wild with its illusions to—as Karl had said—“Jesus Fucking Christ”, even though his partner hadn’t meant it quite like that. Even now, helicopters circled the Charles, getting close-up shots that were certainly being streamed live over television and the Internet, although the picture would be blurred, no doubt, given the victim’s nudity. That was some small blessing, he supposed, to help preserve the poor man’s dignity in death.

“Ah, shit.” He swore without any real heat at the sight of two familiar men cutting an easy swath through the crowd to get close to the bridge.

The arrival of the Lux boys didn’t surprise him—not really. They were either in this butchery up to their eyeballs or they’d seen the news and come out of the same curiosity as the others.

“Hey, Karl? Have a uniform call down for the Ghoul Quarterly models to be brought here. I want to see if they know this latest victim.”

With a snort, Karl called out to a cop and relayed the order. Trey braced himself once more on the bridge railing and watched as a uniformed officer at the cordon received the command, sought out the Stelalux men and ushered them over. As the two approached, Trey could only mentally shake his head at the way their ‘casual’ clothing looked like it cost more than his monthly take-home pay. It struck him as odd, too, that they were covered so much, given the warmth of the day.
