Chapter Twelve – Alistair

Gareth and Brianna sat in the two chairs facing my desk. They’d just finished telling me what they’d seen in the park, how Brett had called her not once, but twice today to taunt her. Gareth had a quiet intensity I’d seen on a few occasions before, where he wanted nothing more than to make someone bleed for him, while Brianna appeared resigned.

Rick hadn’t called me yet, I assumed because he was still handling things at the park. The first body had been found inside the Watts residence, but this one was left out in the open, in a public place, where anyone could’ve found it.

But Brett Banks had called Brianna right as school let out, like he wanted her to see it—and that told me he’d planned on her going straight there with Gareth.

And that, in turn, told me Brett was close by, and while the town and its law enforcement was busy dealing with the body, he was watching us from the shadows, learning how we moved, how we operated.

He was smarter than I’d given him credit for in the beginning. He had to have had this planned out in advance, to pull off dumping multiple bodies in such a short span of time, and given the fact that we’d been left a body a day, it was safe to assume we’d have a third body on our hands tomorrow.

“What are we going to do?” Gareth asked. “Have you found anything out? Anything we can use? Please tell me yes.”

I ran a hand down the side of my face. “I had Neo’s parents watched. I had the school watched. I’m pulling my eyes off Neo’s parents, and I’m having them put on the both of you. Anytime you leave this house, you can be certain you’re being watched.”

“What good does that do us? We need to find out what kind of car he’s driving, where he’s staying—”

I interrupted Gareth, “We can be reasonably sure, once the third body turns up, he’ll go after one of you. Maybe having eyes on you both will give him second thoughts.”

“No,” Brianna whispered faintly. “No, whatever he’s going to do, he’ll do it, no matter what. He said this is a roller coaster, and today was only the second loop.” Her dark gray eyes lifted, meeting my stare, a flash of the normal, feisty Brianna returning. “I don’t know how many roller coasters you’ve been on, but once you’re on, you can’t get off.”

Hmm. No, I supposed you couldn’t. Unless…

“I think we need to play his game,” she went on, which made Gareth whip his head in her direction and glare at her. “He’ll be the one waiting for us to get off once the ride is done. If we’re ready for him, he won’t be able to catch us off-guard.”

“He won’t get his filthy fucking hands on you,” Gareth hissed out, leaning over the armrest of his chair towards her. “I won’t let him.” An unusual display of affection—or possession, depending on how you looked at it—coming from him.
