“Cannibal Killer Suspect Convicted!”

“Six Victims Identified in Cannibal Case”

The headlines were sensational, but the details of the murders were even more lurid. She read about the librarian whose cannibalized remains were found at Joseph’s old apartment, cremated in an arson fire; the body they’d found roasted on a spit, most of the flesh torn from its charred bones; the child-killer who’d been butchered and nearly filleted at the state hospital; the orderly with his throat torn out; Joseph’s father who was found beheaded and burned with Bible pages stuffed in his mouth; and finally Alicia, eaten down to her bones. Cindy didn’t know what she was doing. She had allowed herself to fall for another inmate, perhaps the most dangerous prisoner in the entire prison system.

Cindy knew that men never changed. All the promises, all the therapy, even incarceration didn’t change a thing. A bad man was always going to be bad. Still, there was something about Joseph Miles that contradicted everything she read. She remembered watching him cry when one of his victim’s family members came to visit. It hadn’t been an act. He’d been genuinely remorseful. And the things he’d said to her, the way they’d made love the last time. He’d promised her that he wouldn’t hurt her and he hadn’t. He could have killed her if he wanted to. She’d been a fool to sneak into his cell like that. It had been just as foolish of her to sneak him out of his cell the night before. She could have easily been another victim, but he hadn’t killed her. He’d bit her neck and it had hurt, but he’d stopped when she told him to stop and he hadn’t done anything close to what he’d done to the people in these stories. He’d ripped out that orderly’s throat with his teeth, but he’d let Cindy go. Maybe his treatments were working. Maybe he was changing.
