Morris could hardly believe what he was seeing. There were three bodies this time. Like the others, they had seemingly been hacked open with a straight razor. Only one of the men had had his penis removed, however—Jonah Jackson, a somewhat-famous pornstar. The other two men were members of the film crew. They had been working for Chet Collins, the man who had said he’d cancel all his upcoming shoots until they’d caught this psychopath.

Now Morris knew he couldn’t trust him.

Chet had found the bodies a little over an hour ago. There had been a young woman in the room also. The killer had left her alive. She was suspended from the ceiling by nylon rope, her hands and feet tied together and bound behind her back. Clearly, she posed no threat to the killer.

Morris had yet to interview her, what with her being taken straight to the hospital. But he had been able to learn from her that the killer had worn a mask and that she hadn’t noticed any distinguishing features.

Essentially, her statement would be nothing short of useless.

Hopefully, Chet might be able to assist him in his enquiries.

“I know I said I’d cancel the shoot,” said Chet after Morris had accused him of recklessly endangering his colleagues—an act that had resulted in the deaths of three presumably innocent men. “But this wasn’t just about me. These people wanted to carry on; how else are they supposed to feed their families?”

“Well, they’re not going to be feeding them anymore, are they?” Morris found his patience to be wearing thin.

Chet lowered his head in contemplation. After a moment, he nodded. “I know. I guess I should take some responsibility. I should’ve told them not to come here.”

“Yes, you should have.”

“But they knew the risks! Everybody knows there’s a psycho on the loose targeting pornstars. Nobody forced them to come out here!”

Morris knew that he was right. There was only one person responsible for what had happened here: the killer himself. What kind of a lunatic would go around cutting off people’s dicks?

“Look,” said Morris. “We can’t tell you what to do—you’re not committing any crimes by continuing to make your films—but …”

Chet held up his hands, stopping Morris mid-sentence. “Say no more, Detective. I give you my word this time; no more pornos until you catch this fucker.”

Morris nodded. “Good. Okay. Thank you.”

“You got it, Detective.”

Chet walked away, heading out of the room. Seeing that Morris was now alone, Edwards approached. “Well?” he asked. “Did he say anything of interest?”

Morris scoffed. “What do you think?” This was just about the dumbest question he’d ever been asked.

“So, what now?”

Morris had gotten an idea while talking to Chet. “We should head back to the station. I’ve got a few things I want to take a look at.”
