Chapter 9

this is your case"

Detective Sheldon slammed the file on Nora's table

"what do you mean, our case? Our guy goes after women"

"I guess he doesn't discriminate based on gender, read the file"

"or you could just give me a summary"

He sighed as he stared her down "fine"

"thank you"

"according to forensics, the style is your guys, do you get it now?"

"that's all?"

She stared at him in disbelief. Parker walked in, two cups of coffee in his hand, he looked at Sheldon confused and gestured towards Nora as he handed her a cup

"thanks…. she said as she collected it…. apparently, the new murder is our guy"

"I thought the victim was a guy"

"he is that's why dear Sheldon here was about to summarize"

"look, I've done that already, you can look at the files or you can forget about it"

He walked out as they stared at him, she rolled her eyes, disgusted by him. She opened the file and as she read it her eyes widened, Parker noticed her shock and moved towards her looking over her shoulders, they flipped through the pictures, their stomach boiling as they were hit by a ball of nausea. The moved to the investigation board and pinned the pictures

"this guy is just sick"

"I can understand why he'd kill Trent, but he didn't have to do it this way"

"again, psycho. Why would he kill him again?"

"isn't it obvious? You were right, Trent knew something, so he took care of a loose end. at this pace we'd never be able to catch him, he's too good"

"you're right Nora, we need Sterling"
