His eyes were rimmed in red, his jaw tight, shoulders stiff with tension. He didn’t waste time. “Did he touch you again?” My lips parted, but no sound came. Theo’s fists clenched. “Don’t lie to me, Eliot. I saw the pictures. Everyone did.” Heat flared in my chest, shame burning through me. “It’s not what it looks like.” Theo stepped closer, crowding the small space between us. His presence was overwhelming—not Damien’s polished arrogance, but raw, desperate energy that made the air thrum.

A moment later, a piece of paper slid through the narrow gap beneath my door. The footsteps retreated in haste. I peered through the peephole. The hallway was empty. I didn't touch the note, afraid of smudging fingerprints. Instead, I crouched and read the words on it: I know the truth about Edmund's death. Come to the big banyan tree in Greenfield Residences at 11 p.m. Don't call the police. The note was crafted with meticulous care—letters cut out from newspapers and books, pieced together like a ransom demand, leaving no trace of handwriting.

And glass of water. “Here” he passed the coffee to Sean and settled down on his seat. His eyes darted to the papers on the table which wasn’t there before he left to get their orders. He pick it up, it held the picture of an unrecognized human, the stomach was exposed like a chicken, eyes opened, the skin was black yet white. The other paper had something similar, it was obvious it was a female because of the hair, though it was separated from her body. “This happened last night.” Detective Sean began, he saw the awful look on Dixon face.

I never saw that specie as people I could trust, except for my brother of course. I was never the type to let down my guard by falling for a guy. Not again! Not after what happened twelve years ago. Not after I have seen their true color. I would never forget it! I could still remember everything that happened that day vividly to the extent that I could write a book about it if I was told to.

While their posture only proved that they were forced to take that picture. Joe nodded his head in pity and swiped the front picture to the back. Another image had Peter and a girl in a sex posture. All this disgusted Joe that he did not bother looking further. He dropped the picture to lay on the floor while he took the box that laid behind the pictures. A gun was there too. It was hiding beneath the book Joe carried. This book looked as though it were a diary or an account of someone's life story. Joe quickly placed the things back in the box. Except for the book, which he carried out to take a proper look at it.

I sense a mystery theme here and I wonder if it’s Stefan or his wife that’s the fan. I keep looking when I see a book that is quite out of place. ‘What To Expect: A Mother’s Guide To Her First Pup’ 0

The faint scent of leather and ink lingered, sharp and masculine. I moved carefully, my fingers brushing the edge of his desk. Papers stacked with precision, pens aligned in a cup. Everything screamed control. I drifted toward the little bookshelf. And scanned through the books there. They looked similar to the ones I saw in the library. Not a single lighthearted title among them. I almost turned to leave, but my eyes immediately caught something interesting Not a book. Not a file. But a picture frame. Nestled between two thick volumes, almost hidden.

Books of fantasy, science fiction. All save on one shelf, close to her desk. That single space holds other things; some I recognise. Some are mysteries. I know the copy of 'Tales of the Arabian Nights'. I gave it to her myself. There's a picture of her mother, very old, looking tired and washed out. Her treasures... There's another photo of Mitch, again old, looking much better but sitting with Conners and Klempner. Noticeably, it's to the back of the shelf.

That kid was way too good for someone of his age, Eric mused. He wiped his face with a towel and left the gym. On entering his bedroom, he paused and surveyed the room. Despite his part time dirty job of killing vampires and staining himself with their blood, he was a neat freak His bedroom was well arranged and smelled of air freshner. His bed was well tucked and his dressing mirror was spotless and shone brightly. His clothes hung neatly by the closet, majority of them being suits and there was a box under where the suits hung, containing various vampire slaying weapons. On his bedside table were two pictures in frames. The first frame was a picture of him and his late fiancée whose death
