Dr. KILLER Chapter 17
Karma's POVNoah on his knees?I immediately stopped that thought before it could travel any further because my brain had a very inconvenient habit of taking completely innocent situations and turning them into something that I shouldn't be thinking, but him on his knees doing things to my body should be studiedI still could not stop laughing at the thought.The second surgery had gone faster than expected, and I walked back into my office. Memories of Noah on his knees were still very clear in my mind.A man who was usually so composed that I sometimes wondered if he had been born that way.On my office floor, because of a nonexistent shoelace.The thought alone was enough to make another smile threaten to appear, and I quickly pushed it away, a murder charge is still hanging over my head.I did not have time to sit in my office smiling like a teenager because a man is getting to me more than it should be.Unfortunately, my face clearly did not get the memo.The sharp ring of my offi
Dr. KILLER Chapter 16
Noah's POV I stood in her office alone.I looked at the two empty containers in my hands.I put them in the bin.I looked at her desk and noticed that the file she had been holding was on the edge, slightly crooked. I straightened it. Then I straightened the pen beside it. Finally looking at my palms, I realized what I was doing and stopped."You are now tidying her desk?" I asked myself rhetorically then stepped back.You drove across the city with lasagna at three PM, and now you are tidying her desk like a man who has completely lost his mind.I had completely lost my mind.I picked up her coffee cup — it was cold, been there for hours — and I put it on the tray by the door. Moved a stack of files that had been leaning at a dangerous angle. Found a cap for a pen that had been sitting without one.I was still tidying.I sat down in the patient chair and looked at her desk and thought about the way she had said because they are yours — no, that was what I had said. I had said that.
Dr. KILLER Chapter 15
It started with a phone call I didn't plan to make.Not planned. Not decided. Just somewhere between the chaos that surrounded me I looked up and realized that Noah Adler was the first person I wanted to call when something happened. Good or bad. Big or small.And that is so-o-o terrifying for someone like me.Because I never had a person like this since I was twelve.That night after Helena's call. I had been staring at the ceiling for two hours and my brain refused to stop thinking about the conversation with Helena that happened during the day. I wanted to call Noah.That was the problem.Not Reginald. Not Sandra. Not anyone with a legal standard or a strategy. I wanted to call Noah and say — you will not believe what just happened — the way people said that to their person. The way I had watched other women say it her whole life, from a distance, with a feeling I had never felt nor understood. I picked up my phone and kept it down.Picked it up again.“You are a twenty ei
Dr. KILLER Chapter 14
Karma's POV My mobile phone buzzed again and again.I was reluctant to answer the call because it was an unknown number. Different from Mia's.I stared at it for a few seconds then decided to answer it.Clicking the green answer button, I expected to hear an immediate introduction but there was silence on the other end. I was going to cut the call when I heard a voice say, "am I speaking with Dr Kuntz?"I hesitated. Because that voice sounded awfully familiar, but I couldn’t place a name to the voice. "Ye-s-s-s-s”. "Who am I speaking with?" "I need to speak with you. Not as a judge, but as a mother. This is Helena."“What the—” I answered, jumping up on my feet in shock. “The Helena Bergmann?!” I asked with a mocking laughter, sitting back very slowly to continue the conversation. Why are you calling me? I thought to myself. Because for a woman like Judge Helena Bergmann to call me sounding like she was stripped of her authority, it meant only one thing. She needed something.
Dr. KILLER Chapter 13
Helena's povThe house was too quiet when I got home.Richard's shoes were at the door. Both of them, placed carefully side by side the way he always did. I stood in the entryway looking at those shoes and felt something cold move through me before I even heard him.He was in the sitting room. Jacket still on. Tie still knotted. Six weeks away and he couldn't even loosen his tie before starting an argument with me."Helena."Just my name. The way he said it when he had already decided something."When did you get back?" I asked."This morning. I came straight from the airport.""You could have called.""I did call. Three times. You didn't pick up."He was right. I had seen the calls. I was in the car after the press conference, staring at his name on the screen, and I put the phone face down and watched it go dark."I was busy," I said."You were on television." His voice was flat. "Giving a press conference about a man who abused our son.""I am handling it, because we don't know ho
Dr. KILLER Chapter 12
The press conference was definitely Helena's idea.That much was obvious from the staging — the steps of the District Court building, chosen deliberately for its columns and its flags and the way cameras had to angle upward to capture whoever stood there, making them look larger than normal. A podium had been set up. Microphones clustered like a bouquet. Behind it, two of Helena's senior aides stood with the practiced stillness of people who had attended enough of these to know exactly what to do and how to act.I watched it from my office television at ten past eleven.I had been warned this was going to happen by Reginald. Reginald had called at nine, his voice carrying the particular flatness he used when delivering information he found professionally inconvenient. Judge Bergmann is making a statement this morning. I would advise you to watch it. Also, I would further advise you not to react publicly to anything she says, no matter how provoking it is.I had said I understood, but
Dr. KILLER Chapter 5
Chapter 5The police car smelled like stale coffee and leather.Karma sat in the back seat, hands folded in her lap, watching the city pass through the tinted window. Buildings blurred into each other. Traffic lights, people walking in a hurry, an old woman walking a dog almost like she was crawli
Dr. KILLER Chapter 4
Rosa's cleaning supplies fell to the floor and scattered. The spray bottle rolled across the carpet, leaving a trail of blue liquid running through the blood.The sound tore from her chest, echoing everywhere, filling the hallway as the once rowdy, loud and dirty hotel became empty that morning. S
Dr. KILLER Chapter 3
Karma sat back in her booth, lifted her untouched drink, and watched her father drain his fourth glass of whiskey.Mia walked fast.She changed into something tighter—a red dress that barely covered anything. Reapplied her lipstick. Sprayed more perfume. Then catwalked straight to Marcus's table, l
Dr. KILLER Chapter 2
Karma stood up so fast her chair had scraped against the floor. "Nurse," she called, stepping into the hallway. "I need you in here with the patient. Don't leave him alone. Not for any reason, not even if this building was collapsing."The nurse nodded and went inside.Karma walked straight to her
