Angel Blood Chapter 11

“What the hell was that all about?” O’Keefe asked, after he closed the driver’s door, sending a glare my way.

“She’s already dead,” I signed, without the additional transmission. “We need to go to where the others were found.” I added, and Damian was kind enough to translate.

O’Keefe glanced at me. “Are you sure?”

“He was talking to her ghost,” Damian said.

O’Keefe glanced at Damian in the rearview mirror before sending his sharp stare in my direction. “Did you ask if she could identify the killer?” His tone was as condescending as I remembered when I was seventeen.

I glared at him and crossed my arms. “I’m a damned good investigator, Captain.” The thought barreled out and he winced.

“Did you ask?” he said, through clenched teeth.

“You really do think I’m an idiot, don’t you?” It was my turn to snap, and I transmitted at full volume just out of aggravation. The physical discomfort written on his scrunched features made me soften my tone. I needed him functional and not blinded by a migraine from my recklessness. “Of course I asked. And no, she didn’t see her attacker, but she said she felt something like a bite on her neck and within seconds, she couldn’t move. She was blindfolded and brought to a damp and dark area that echoed. I’m guessing a large basement or even an abandoned mill of some sort.”

O’Keefe started the car and headed towards Wright’s Warf. There was already a circus of police lights when we pulled in. The three of us got out.

“Stay here until I find out what is going on,” O’Keefe ordered and Damian and I exchanged a glance, but we stayed put.

O’Keefe stepped into the chaos, leaving Damian and me standing next to the car like a pair of junior detectives not cleared for a homicide case. I closed my eyes, choosing to infringe upon the conversation he was having with the lead officer.

Get out of my head, O’Keefe’s thought overshadowed the conversation and I opened my eyes, catching his glare. I sent a smirk in response, but it quickly faded with the next set of facts.

Two people were found in the same condition, both bled dry and tossed out like a sack of garbage.

My gaze snapped to Damian, but he had already pulled his phone from his pocket and was busy dialing home. His warning was simple. Get to my brother’s house with the family.

I followed suit, texting Raven to do the same and then followed with a warning to CJ. His response came before my wife’s and I felt a moment of relief until Raven’s text popped up.

I’ll head over as soon as Hannah wakes from her nap.

My gut clenched. Our house was the farthest north and the first this psycho would hit if he continued his systematic elimination of angel blood. I didn’t want to alarm her, but I also didn’t want her vulnerable and every nerve in my body shouted to get her out of the house.

There was only one person left between Portland and York and she was in Ogunquit.
