Lynn screams and I have to pull the phone away from my ear for a breath or two.

When she calms down, I add, “We would like to add an E to your name Lynn.Her full name will be Moxie Lynne Foley.Pax and I are getting married.”

“Lovely, Lyla.You two make me very happy.I was so freaking worried about you two.Oh, which reminds me, I have to cancel the plans I made to get you two back together again.All good.I’ll get right on that.”

“What?”I squeak, wondering what she had planned to get Pax and I back together.

“Don’t you worry your pretty pregnant ass about things I have a handle on,” she tells me.“And, Lyla?”

“Yes?”I mutter.

“Adding an E to highlight the epic part of her namesake is brilliant, I could have thought of that myself,” Lynn states and ends the connection.

A happy sigh leaves my smiling lips, and I feel lighter, knowing the future is moving in the right direction.

A knock on the door drags my attention to it, and I frown.Glancing at the time on my phone I see it’s still too early for Pax to come back.Besides, he took the room key so why would he knock?

I palm my gun and open the door a crack.

It’s the woman from the reception with a kind smile on her face.“Breakfast,” she cheerfully states.“Your fiancé thought you might be hungry.”

My chest warms with the mentioning of Pax being my fiancé.He’s taking care of me, even when he’s not around.

CHAPTER SIX

–PAX –

Rearing my head back, I wave my hand to dodge the damn flies and other insects swarming around here.The body I’m staring at was found earlier this morning.Compared to all the others linked to this case I’d say this body was found way earlier than all the others.

The forensic entomologist gets to his feet and is talking to the forensic pathologist.Archer made sure we have all kinds of specialists on scene due to the fresh state of the body.Well, I say fresh but by the looks of it?I’d say he’s been dead for four or five days.

The body is bloated and there’s stuff coming out of his nose and mouth.The previous bodies showed scraping on the ribs and other bones.This body shows missing chunks of flesh, a clear link it was carved off the body like the others.A gruesome sight for sure.Good thing I didn’t have any breakfast yet.

My phone gives a notification of an incoming message, and I pull it from my pocket to check.
