As we got closer to the scene of the crime, I dropped his hand. The Politia didn’t know Andre and I were soulmates—they didn’t even necessarily know that there was anything going on between us—and I’d prefer to keep it that way. I didn’t trust the Politia with that knowledge.

A cluster of men and women in uniforms buzzed around a central area lit up by spotlights someone had gone to the trouble of setting up.

The smell of decay hit me and I tasted bile at the back of my throat. I knew I should’ve eaten like a normal person today. This was the universe cursing me for my bad food choices.

“It’s going to be okay,” Andre said, his voice low enough for only me to hear.

I glanced at him, shocked that he knew how I felt. He subtly tapped his nose.

Oh, duh.

“I’ll be with you the whole time,” he said.

That should’ve rankled me—I wanted it to—but lately my righteous indignation had taken a vacation.

We caught the attention of a couple of uniformed officers. They took in our civilian clothes and their eyes narrowed suspiciously.

One in particular broke away from the group. “Can I help you sir?” he asked Andre, ignoring me completely.

“We were called in to give an expert analysis on the victim’s wounds.”
