CHAPTER SIX

Zach

It doesn’t take a genius to locate people who give themselves floral names in an attempt to appear prettier—it’s the reason why some of my flowers have ended up being been less beautiful than I initially thought, although I got lucky with this one. That app has proven useful in more than one way, and I’m glad I had the sense to purchase a burner phone I can easily dispose of should the need arise.

Some people are easily led and gullible. A few flirty words here, a few well placed compliments there, and the most desperate will be clawing at the chance for some attention…desperate enough to go home with a stranger. Their physical needs don’t interest me, but the high of stealing a life is irresistible. They never see it coming, too interested and beguiled by the monster who wears the face of a man.

I leave nothing behind, and neither do they. Not a trace, not even a speck of blood to tell anyone we were there. Alyssa was messier than some of the others, though, but using pruning shears to gouge her throat was definitely fun. With her nearly black hair and soft elfin features, she was pretty when I met her—she’s even more so now she’s lifeless and covered in blood. I’m sure Kit will like her just as much as I did. For me, the sexual appeal of these pitiful flowers pales in comparison to Violet, but I’m sure Kit appreciates the absence of my sloppy seconds. A fleeting thought enters my mind, and I shudder as I briefly wonder if I’m actually doing him a favor by not getting them all wet before I hand them over. I’m sure he has his own methods of dealing with them that I don’t want to dwell on.

Alyssa’s chest is stained with blood that’s slowly congealing on her skin, cracking as it dries and turns from vivid crimson to rich burgundy. Quickly checking to make sure no one is around, I carefully place her in the back of my truck and pull the covering over to hide her. I slide my phone from my pocket and send a quick text to Kit.

Me: Get everything ready. I’ll be there shortly, and don’t start on me with the ‘I called it’ bullshit.

Kit: Be there in 30

My phone vibrates again, and I shake my head when I see another message from Kit.

Kit: I still called it though. See you soon.

Smug bastard. I grin before stowing the phone back in my pocket and starting up my truck, enjoying the low rumble and the steady vibration as the engine comes to life. Looking over my shoulder, I stare out the rear window, making an effort not to look at the bed where the dead flower is hidden from view. Seeing that the way behind me is clear, I pull out of the space and head for Kit’s.

Like always, he’s already there when I arrive, signature grin in place and eyes lit up with dark glee, like it’s his birthday or something.
