“John, the detective is back.”

“The same one as last time?”

“The same.”

John sighed into the phone. “Wait five minutes, then send him in.”

“You got it.”

John hung up and heard Harry immediately. “Why the fuck are you seeing him again? Why would you allow him to come in here?”

“I want to know what he knows.”

“John, he doesn’t know shit. If he knew anything, he wouldn’t be stopping by your secretary to ask to see you. He’d come in with cuffs, and you’d be walked across the floor with your head down. He’s doing this to scare you, plain and simple.”

“And if I don’t see him, how does that look?”

“WHO CARES HOW IT LOOKS? YOU’RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE HERE!”

John stood and straightened the papers on his desk. “What if he knows about Father Charles?”

“He doesn’t. It’s a missing person until they find a body, and missing persons don’t go to Detective Dickface. Don’t let him come in here, John. Use your head.”

The knock on the door ended the conversation.

“Come in,” John called from behind his desk.

Detective Tremock opened the door. “John, how ya doing?” he asked, closing it behind him.

“I’d be better if you weren’t here, truth be told.”

“Oh, I know that’s right,” the detective agreed.

“So, what have I done now to deserve you coming back?” John looked down at his desk.

“I wanted to talk about something interesting I found,” the detective said as he walked across the office.

“Well, before we get started on that,” John said, gazing at Tremock, “don’t ever fucking visit my wife again. Do you understand me?”

“I understand, but I’m sorry to tell you you don’t have any control over who I visit or what I talk about. In case you’ve forgotten, I’m a cop. I can go where I want.”

Cold rage spread across John’s body, his muscles tightening and his jaw clenching.

He didn’t speak, just stared as the detective made his way to the desk.

“I’ve done a bit of research on you, Mr. Hilt.”

John saw the folder for the first time as Tremock brought it up from his side. He placed it on John’s desk and flipped open the cover with a finger. A newspaper article sat on top, and after John saw the headline, he didn’t need to read anything else.

London Student Found Dead in Park.

“If you move past the first article there, you’ll see more,” the detective continued. “Though, I’m not sure you need to look through them, given that they’re your handiwork.”

John looked up. “So now I commit every murder, not only in the States but in other countries as well?”

The detective smiled. “A trail of dead people follows you from thirteen until now. Harold. You remember him, don’t you? Did you have something to do with that too?”

“Oh, yeah. I was a murdering thirteen-year-old. There are fifteen bodies buried beneath my middle school. Have you started digging there as well?”

“I probably should, huh? But no, not yet.”

John looked at the detective, who still had the slick grin pasted on his face.

“Anything else? You know why I don’t have a lawyer?” John said.
