Chapter 7

Dean tried to stay out of the way as best he could. But there were so many people on the third floor that he felt like he was being caged in. Bella came up to him, her tears still fresh on her cheeks, and he held her. This had been hardest on her, he knew. Christ, he could not believe the mess that they’d walked into when they’d broken the lock on the door to Hunter’s room.

“I just had a long talk with Harris. She said that we were right in not calling her until the police arrived. Stepping on the locals’ toes is hard enough without having her as a relative taking over.” Dean asked if she was upset. “Yes. Not at us, but at this in the room. Dean, he actually killed my mom.”

“I know, honey. I’m so sorry.” There were pictures of all the deaths that he’d done. Big colorful ones that Dean had to wonder where he’d gotten them printed. Someone had to have helped him with this. “Harris said that she came here to tell you about what she’d found out. I’m not sure that this way was any better, but at least it’s going to make his case stick more.”

“I don’t want him to go to prison, Dean.” He was sure that he’d not heard her right, but when she continued, his heart hurt more for her. “I want him dead. I don’t want him to go to court so that he might be thought to be insane.”

“There’s more to it than that.” They both turned to Harris when she spoke softly behind them. “I’m worried, and I think rightly so, that if people find out what sort of person your brother is, the charities that your father turned over to you will fail. No one will believe that you had nothing to do with, nor any knowledge of, what was going on here.”

“But, I didn’t.” Harris said that it wouldn’t matter. Not to the public. “Are you saying that rather than help people in need, they’d rather not give anything towards this fund because of something that I had nothing to do with? Not to mention, I called the cops for them to have a look at this crap in there.”

“Yes.” Dean held tighter onto Bella when she started toward Harris. “Bella, people would rather believe an outlandish lie than the boring truth about everyone. Not everyone, I guess, but most will. And no matter what you say to the contrary, people will do and believe what they want. It’s the way of the world now.”

“What are you suggesting that we do?” Harris just stared at him. “That’s what Bella just said she wanted to happen to him.”

“I don’t want him getting off on some technicality. Something like insanity. Though I doubt anyone in their right mind would think that he was anything but fucking nuts.” Harris hugged Bella and whispered in her ear. When she pulled back, Bella pulled Harris to her.
