I watch as Hailey and Sara walk with the cowboy to Hailey’s car. They can’t see me though. I’ve parked far enough away to keep an eye on them, but not close enough to attract attention. Even if I did, no one would think anything of it.

Hailey tilted her head back and laughed at something Trey said. I clench my jaw, disgusted with the flirtation. The two girls get into Hailey’s car and drive off as the Chief goes back inside his precinct.

What a joke.

How is it that Trey Harbor is the Chief? What shitty luck.

I wait a few seconds to pull out of my parking spot and follow Hailey. I’m angry she’s still here, stirring up trouble. If she left like she’d planned, I wouldn’t have to watch her. And if she would simply leave well enough alone, I wouldn’t have to kill her.

But here we are. I’m waiting for the right moment to do what needs to be done. Most people wouldn't be this driven. Most people won’t do the dirty work. They would rather wither away than fight against an enemy coming to take what is rightfully theirs. They would rather die than shed blood. Not me. I’ve spent my life shedding the blood of my enemies.

At first it was daunting, doing things that are against your instincts. Yet, the more I did it, the easier it became. And now it’s in my nature to do what most people won't.

Even Morgan Gallagher wasn’t my first victim, though no one even knows I’m the one who killed her. Nor do they know of the other bodies I so cleverly disposed of. People would be shocked to know my secret life; the life of a manipulator, a liar.

A murderer.

The Beast that lurks within doesn’t come out often, only when it needs to be satisfied. Only when someone must be silenced. The Beast has become innate to me, working alongside my instincts, so quietly that no one even knows it’s lurking just under the surface.

Sometimes even I forget The Beast is there.

And then it hungers for bloodshed, and it must be released.

It must be fed.

It must be satisfied.

And it wants Hailey. Maybe even Sara.

Hell, the cowboy may serve a purpose too.

But Hailey and Sara will have to wait.

The Beast has decided that it’s Elijah Washington’s time to die.
