Chapter Eighteen

Nathan Rigby spun around on his chair as Tabitha stepped into the office.

“Shit, boss. We weren’t expecting you here, now with, well you know…”

“I can’t sit at home and do nothing, so somebody, anybody, give me some news, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem.”

He jumped up and crossed the room. “We’ve interviewed the rest of the staff from Donaldson’s place, and from what we’re being told, there was no sign their boss was up to anything at all.”

“How could they not know? The woman would’ve been in agony every day with her skin from what Trey tells me.”

“They either didn’t notice, or didn’t care. They said she was obsessively clean, to the point of hysteria, if she found any trace of dirt, but nothing she said or did led any of them to believe she was killing people and using body parts as pie filling.”

Tabitha could feel her stomach lurch.

How could anybody do something as wicked as butcher a human being and use their internal organs as food.

In all her years on the force, it was the worst thing she’d ever had to deal with.

She’d spoken to Trey on the way into the office and he’d confirmed the pies found in the freezers had been contaminated with human remains.

Appeals had gone out to the general public who had eaten there to report to their local hospital. A special hotline had been set up, but hopefully, there would be no lasting physical damage to anybody. She couldn’t say the same for how it would affect them mentally.

Tabitha knew had she consumed human flesh or organs, it was something that would never leave her mind.

“Was Miriam ever seen with anybody at all?”

“Not at all. From the picture painted of her, she was quite the loner. None of them had any idea she was living with this man. We’re checking with her suppliers and the local cash and carry’s she may have bought supplies from – see if we can get any CCTV footage.”

“So, we do know they were living in the same place?”

“Looks that way. The whole place has been searched. Clothes, grooming products, as well as DNA discovered all lead us to the same conclusion. If he wasn’t living there – he definitely spent a lot time there.”

“Then, where is he?”

“I wish we knew, boss. But, we’re all working our arses off pulling double shifts. We won’t rest until we get the bastard and your sisters are safe at home.”

She felt genuinely touched her staff had rallied around her at such a point.

Tears filled her eyes. “Thank you,” she croaked, uncomfortable showing vulnerability for the first time in front of her team. “Please find them.”

Jack walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder. “We’ll get them back, Boss. We promise you.”

She couldn’t speak and offered a weak smile.

The team dispersed and carried on with what they were doing before she entered the room.

She sat at her desk and switched on her PC. Typing in the password, she waited a few seconds for her system to boot itself up.
