My temper was rising because of the suddenly amused smirks the four were sharing. God! Men!
Riley stepped forward, and I pointed at him.
“Don’t you mess with me, Riley! You know what I am capable of! Now, Officer Jepson, please arrest, charge, and lock up that sad piece of shit. I’m going to get a drink! And keep them busy by taking their statements, or I might bash one of their brains in!”
“Yes, ma’am,” Jepson said. As I walked away, I heard him whisper to Levi, “Damn, dude, you got a spitfire on your hands.”
Levi snorted. “Yeah, she is a wildcat, and she’s all mine,” Levi replied. I didn’t have to turn around to know that he was staring straight at Dane and Daithi as he made that statement. Their snorts of disgust said it all!
Chapter Nine.
Madisen
Itook a big swallow of my wine as Tami made eyes at me.
“That bad?” she asked.
In return, I took another huge mouthful and rolled my eyes.
Cami snorted beside her.
“Can’t you feel the alpha vibes rolling off of those outside? By the way, the twat is ranting about you belonging to him,” Cami said.
“Gah,” I muttered, wondering whether to storm out and kick him in the nuts. Brandy may have already done so, but I’d still get the pleasure of watching him squirm.
“Are you okay?” Cami asked, peering at me.
“It’s been a long night. You remember those bikers who were shooting up the street and that ugly-looking brute who winked at me? Yes, well, they came back tonight to claim me. Like fuck. That ended up with one dead and the rest injured, and then I returned to this shit,” I whined.
My cousin’s eyes widened, and I laughed without amusement. Yeah, it wasn’t funny anymore. Tonight had opened my eyes to how serious this was. I’d been kinda ignoring the whole situation. The parcels delivered to my home had been traumatic and horrific. Nobody wanted body parts sent to their safe place.
I wanted to believe the biker was behind them, but deep down, he wasn’t. Clamp wouldn’t have approached me at The Midnight Hour if he knew my address. Logically, that ruled him out as much as I hated that fact. This meant, after Brooker, who was responsible for the gifts at the club, and a seriously overblown ego, I still had a dangerous stalker out there.
The men walked in, followed by Detective Lio. All of them looked serious.
“Well, this is a cluster fuck, isn’t it?” I said, swallowing another huge gulp of wine. “Brooker’s the harmless stalker, but the main one is out there.”
“I wouldn’t call Brooker harmless if you heard his plans for you,” Lio stated.
“I’d have broken his balls within a week. Brooker is no threat to me, but that Clamp and this unknown are,” I replied.
“No doubt Madisen would have crushed that idiot within a day, but it does not answer the main threat to her,” Dane said.
“No, it doesn’t, and we’re not finding DNA on anything that’s been left so far,” Lio admitted.
“So you have nothing?” Daithi demanded.
“We’ve got the gifts he left for Madisen, which tells us a lot. But DNA, no, we don’t have anything to tell us who this is. It’s a sick fuck, for sure. These women were alive when mutilated,” Lio said softly, watching my face.
The blood drained, and I blanched. As did my three cousins.
“Alive?” I whispered.
“Yes.”
“Shit!” I exclaimed and dashed for the toilet. My dinner came back up in a spectacularly nasty way as I vomited. Whoever was doing this was cutting body parts off of women while they were alive. Who the fuck did that? I had no idea who this stalker was or what I’d done to attract him. Was he a stranger? I’d love to think so, but my gut was telling me he was someone I knew. Cutting off body parts was something my father would have done. This was too close to his methods to be random.
“Babe, are you okay?” Levi shouted through the door.
