There was a sense of nervousness as Darcy looked at the man on the bunk, his expressionless face not revealing anything. Underneath the frozen exterior, something dark and cold brewed with each sentence Sean uttered and turned toxic with anger. He addressed the focus of Darcy's loathing with an upward curl in the corner of his lip.

"Hello, Sean.".

Sean collapsed onto the floor with a single foot hanging low over the edge of the bunk. He looked into the face of Darcy, a burning uncertainty that compelled him to leap with ardor into their blue shallowness. Sean's face, though similar in features to his sister Sandra's, was not elevated. They were both brother and sister.

The attitude was a bit poor, with the incline of the dash and Sandra's irritation at her brother getting involved. Sean was in the wrong with his assumption of having the authority to issue idle threats to him. That is a demeaning error.

The catch met metal as Darcy welcomed Kelz and closed it in his fist, more lethal i

    Detective Tommy Brooks glanced at his wristwatch and sighed. The clock had just ticked past nine o'clock. He had been hoping to go home early for supper, but that hope was gone now. He paced uneasily about what his wife was probably thinking.Whenever he was late, she always assumed that he was fooling around with some woman. He could never get her to understand that police officers were needed to keep odd hours. Perhaps she might loosen up more upon learning he was working on a murder case with Sanders, but he didn't think so.The precinct was nearly empty at this hour, the hum of the overhead fluorescent lighting emanated through the stillness. Brooks sat forward over his desk, the rough draft of the Chase murder before him, his cigarette smoldering in his fingers.He read the report again, eyes tired, when one fact jumped out at him. It was as if the flash of a match in darkness—swift, a glint of piercingness, unquestionable. He sat upright, heart racing.As he was trying to grasp

    "It's about last night."Kelvin's muscles congealed."A young woman was killed in the flat above mine," Freeway continued, easing into the closest chair with a rush of air. He grinned inhumanly wide. "I have some news that would be of interest to the police."He stopped, the words accumulating on his lips as if relishing their sweetness. "I dislike being a police informant, Mr. Kelvin. I know it is my duty to inform them of what I know, but they never show appreciation. One has to take care of one's interests first, anyway," he chuckled.Kelvin's stomach churned. So it's blackmail.Clenching his fists tightly, he puffed out his cigarette and took a long drag to steady himself. "I had nothing to do with the murder," he tried to say in a steady voice."I am pretty sure of that," replied Freeway, his eyes bright with mischief. "Had I suspected you had, I would not have visited here. I am a cautious man, Mr. Kelvin. I would not be an accessory to murder. No, of course not, you had nothing

    Kelvin was in his bedroom, lying down, when he heard the doorbell ring. He remained silent for a moment, too afraid to get up. Had the police come back? Was that sergeant going to question him again? Had he revealed too much about himself?He looked over at the nightstand clock. Ten minutes after nine. An unusual time for callers. His heart was beating even faster. Who could it be, then, if not them?He went quietly to the window and opened the curtain. No car at the door. That ruled out the police.He took a shaking breath, but relief was fleeting. Getting into the room opposite the direction towards the corridor, planning to look through the glass window next to the front door, movement down the way halted him.There was a small dog in the black passageway, its paws as quiet as the tiles. Its thin coat was a dirty caramel, with rough patches, its big bulging eyes too big for its face—frog-like, gangly, insensitive. Its tongue was poking out a little way, as if inviting him out.Kelv

    Ten years ago, there was a loud ringing of Lilian's phone that woke her up after another night without sleep. She had not slept for two years since Daniel, Aunt Clara's husband, came into their lives. There was something about him that unsettled her mind and kept her awake the whole night. Without him, she hardly slept. With him around, she slept like a small child at her mother's bosom.She let out a breath and sat up in bed, her heart racing with restless urgency. The message pulsed on her screen, and when she read what it was, her heart thrashed. The stealth tracking software she'd installed told her: Daniel returned to town.Her heart hammered in her chest. A heedless grin pulled at her lip.She sat up and quickly dressed. She did not care if he was with Clara or not. She could not even begrudge him for ignoring her, as always. She simply had to see him—no matter whether it was from a distance, where no one would even realize she was looking at him.Second nature by this time to c

    "I'm okay… I did not want to speak with her now," Lilian said into the receiver. Her voice was muffled since she heard laughter and the sound of bass notes erupt. The music was not blasting, but loud enough that it seemed every sentence was strained to be heard."Are you at a club or something?" Jack's voice cut through the line, punctuated by the sudden shriek of someone else in the area announcing the DJ had just played their favorite song."Kind of," she answered, her voice shaking somewhere between anger and indifference.There was silence on his end, and then a sudden intake of air. "Are you drunk?"Just texted, she laughed, but her eyes stayed fixed on the half-empty glass before her, the one she was going to fill until night turned into nothing."Do you have a designated driver?That earned a snort from her—high, irregular, almost girlish. Police training was obvious in him, his voice tight with restraint and concern. She was strangely comforted by it, even here in this desolat

    Lilian's phone had rung the hundredth time. Doris' name was displayed on the flashing, bright screen, but as with every other attempt since yesterday, she didn't mind answering it. The call cut out, and with that, the silence fell again—thick, heavy, and pressing against her chest like something that clings.Doris had been calling her, repeatedly calling, but Lilian wasn't prepared for the ring of her voice, not to mention answering. Doris continued to stay with one foot there, the there that Lilian wanted to leave. Chris' there. Rita's there. That tainted world of lies, of lies, of slashes deeper than skin.That single idea left her standing alone at a road intersection, struggling to breathe and drowning."Give me another," she told the bartender as her phone at last fell silent. She growled it out in a flat, empty voice, as if all the air had been drained out of it.The bartender—a boyishly youthful boy whose jaw was still not firm enough to keep stories he most assuredly had been
