TWENTY-ONE
AFTER BEING IN the hospital for two days, she was more than ready to leave.
Uncomfortable, she tried to move, which wasnât easy with her arm in a sling.
Lachlan came in with a file. âHey, what are you doing?â
He came rushing over to prop her back against the pillows.
âMoving,â she said, wriggling in the sheets. âI want to get out of this bed.â
âThey might discharge you in a day or two.â
âYou think I donât know you and grandpapa are pressuring them to keep me here?â
âYouâre important to us,â he said, kissing her head. âWhy shouldnât we use our pull to make sure youâre looked after?â
âYeah, but itâs not a medical request. Youâre just being protective,â she said, nodding at the file as he sat. âWhat is that?â
It didnât look thick. Was that the sum total of their investigation?
âIt can wait a minute.â
âJust tell me,â she said. âYou want me to ID someone?â
He rolled his lips into his mouth. âYeah,â he said on a sort of inhale.
âOkay, so show me.â
âYou donât want to rush yourself.â
âYouâve been telling me to take my time for two days.â The nausea wasnât as bad, though she did still get bouts of dizziness. âBetween you and Steeple telling me to take it easy, Iâll never move or work again. Just show me.â
âI donât want you to be shocked,â he said, opening the file just enough to peek into it.
âShocked? Why would Iâ¦? You mean you donât want me to get upset?â
âNo, itâsâ¦â He hesitated then sighed. âThe subjectâs deceased.â
âDeceâheâs dead?â she asked.
He nodded, folding back the cover of the file to hand it over.
Blond guy. Swollen. Bruised. Cut. Bleeding. Well, not anymore, but there was blood on his face.
âHe has the tattoo,â he said, reaching over to slide another picture out from beneath, putting it on top. âIs it him?â She nodded, numb, as he took the file from her hands to close it and put it aside. âHe was killed last night. Showed up in the early hours.â
âShowed up where?â
âWhy would you ask that?â
His curiosity got her attention. âWhy wouldnât you tell me?â
âAt Silvio Manzaniâs. Strung up by his ankles in a tree, on proud display outside his front door.â A beat passed. âIt wasnât pretty, Sersh. Whoever killed him was seriously pissed. Seriously pissed.â
âWhat do you mean?â Grabbing the file, she wanted to see what made her brother so solemn. âHow didââ She stopped at the next photograph. âOh my God.â
Lachlan took the file before she could see the other pictures. âThey emasculated him, disemboweled him, antemortem, Ser. I donât know what the perps wanted him to give up, but he wasnât a willing victim. Every one of his fingers was broken. Not that it mattered, âcause they cut off his hands and scattered them on the driveway with his toes and teeth like ice-cream sprinkles.â Her mouth wouldnât close. It was amazing, disgusting, yet not repulsive. âThey tortured him. Cut out his tongue. There were over two hundred individual injuries on the body. Then
