He'd done something bad. Very bad. It was an accident. He didn't mean to bash her head in with the bat. And then stab her seven times. It was all her fault! She didn't listen. She wouldn't be silent! Now they'd hunt him down because of her, the bitch. Oh he'd really done something bad. But how come it felt so good?

**************
Murder in New York as a ruthless killer who likes to play games runs wild in the streets, murdering people in no order that the cops could find. He has the cops chasing their tails. Until Lieutenant Kory Hannagan, a woman with a personal vested interest in the case is put in charge.

The GLEE in murder

The desire to inflict pain, that is all that is uppermost. 


"What.. oh God I'm so sorry" Kory said as the situation dawned on her. She tried to slide down Carter's- as she was currently wrapped around him she felt it proper to begin calling him by his first name- body but he held her still. 


﻿"You're shaking" he said while carefully pulling the knife out of her tight grip. She slowly let go. "If I let you go now your legs will buckle and you'll fall" 


﻿"You were tossing and turning and whimpering and moaning. I came over to wake you up and you swiftly pulled your knife out of your shoe, a move I must express my adoration for, and aimed it at my neck. I tried to fight you and that's how we ended up here" 


﻿Kory took a deep breath to try to process that information. 


﻿"First, I feel stable now, you can let me down" 


﻿He slowly let her go, but didn't move away just yet.
