CHAPTER 19

I dialed Mike once we were safely on the freeway.

“Dylan.” He made answering the phone into a statement.

“Yeah. Mike--” He cut me off.

“Dylan, we have a problem.” His voice sounded grave.

“Okay. What is it?”

“Another body.”

“Oh. Shit. We have a few people we can talk to about that,” I said it matter-of-factly.

“We have shit, Dylan. I have a job to do and you have to get your ass back here pronto. Your fishing expedition is over.” He was throwing demands around; shit had hit the fan.

“Dammit, Mike, Tatum and I have been busting our asses trying to drudge up information for you. Don’t you dare blow us off like that.” Who does he think he is?

“You’re not safe! Do you hear me?! It’s not a stripper this time, Dylan. It’s somebody, not a nobody. A girl, a real girl.” I shuddered; the sound of his voice shook me.

“Who? Who was it? You’re sure it’s them?”

“Yeah, I’m sure. Some poor girl who decided to check out a vamp club last night. Her parents ID’d her an hour ago. College girl, just turned twenty-one last month. Just a kid, Dylan. She was just a kid.”

“Which club? Macabre? Where did they leave her? Wait, when did this happen? I talked to you at eleven this morning and there was no body. Most of these girls are found first thing the next morning. You’re sure?” I was feeling very uneasy about this.

“Yeah, Dylan, I’m sure. Yes, that club. I haven’t heard from the ME yet, but I’m pretty certain it happened last night. She was found late this morning. Dylan…” He took an inappropriate pause.

“What? What is it?” My voice held an urgency that disturbed even me.

“Dylan…” Mike let out a sigh. “She was found in the alley behind your apartment.”

“What?” Moment of disbelief number one.

“One of your neighbors was taking out the trash and saw her feet sticking out from behind the dumpster. She was naked like the rest. No cuts on her body. She was bitten. Hard.”

“Bitten? Hard?” I felt like a confused parrot.

“Someone tore into her flesh with teeth. I have to wait for the ME report, but if I had to guess, this sick fuck has moved on from the ol’ ‘slice and stab’ to get his blood. He’s tapping directly into the source. More than once. She had multiple bite wounds and some blood dried to the skin but none at the scene otherwise.”

“Like we thought, they were most likely killed elsewhere and dumped,” I said.

“Not the most pertinent point here, Dylan. I don’t want you going home. I have a bad feeling she was left there for a reason.” He sounded scared. I think he and I had finally agreed on an emotion.

“Who was she? What was her name?” I sounded scared too.

“Amanda Simmons. You know her?”

“No.” Thank God.

“Dylan, she looked like you; down to the crazy head of hair. It’s just too coincidental.”

“Like me? What? Short, fat, and frizzy?” I half-smiled at that.

“Not funny. She looked like you, like the last girl looked like Tatum.
