Page 139 of Say My Name

The only thing I’m thinking about is ending Brandon’s life like he did the Greedy Girls.

“You want me to say your name?” I yell at him. “Brandon?”

Brandon opens his bruised and bloodied eyes. “What are you talking about?”

“You killing my girls. You fucking asshole. I hope you rot in hell,” I shout.

Ledger’s still holding me back so I can’t kill Brandon right here and now.

After a few minutes, Ledger calms me down and I’m able to deal with the cops rushing onto the scene.

“He’s the Greedy Girl murderer,” Roman says to the cops.

Adams and Peters both rush to Brandon first, slapping cuffs on him until they can figure out what’s going on.

Guy makes his way over to me. “I should take you downtown for beating the fuck out of him.” He points to Brandon.

“You could. But he’s the murderer.”

“How do you know that?” Guy’s radio on his shoulder chirps and he speaks into it asking for an ambulance. “You’re all going to the station until we can sort this mess out.”

“Don’t forget her.” I nod toward Sugar. “She’s guilty of this too.”

Within thirty minutes, I’m sitting downtown in a small room with one brown table and two chairs. I sit in one, waiting for a detective to come through the door.

Will it be Chloe?

Is she even here?

I focus on my bloody hand. It felt so good punching that motherfucker. The fact I’ve had him so close to me for so long and never had any clue he was running a prostitution ring right under my nose makes me livid.

A gray-haired man steps through the door. “Mr. Huxley,” he says. “I just need to get your official statement.”

“Where’s Chloe?”

The man’s face scrunches in confusion. “Chloe?”

“Yes. Is she here?”

The man takes a deep breath. I recognize him as the detective who questioned me at Club Greed, but I can’t remember his name.

“I’m Finn Grant. I’m Chloe’s partner. Homicide dismissed her from the case once she told us she’d been compromised.”

“Where is she?” I ask again.

“I’m guessing she went home.”

“The Captain didn’t look kindly on the fact that she told you some vital information and you took matters into your own hands. We’re questioning Brandon now. So, be happy we found the one responsible.”

I should feel ecstatic they’ve got Brandon, but I only feel terrible for what has happened with Chloe. I want to see her.

After I give my official statement, I leave the station and head toward Chloe’s house.

It’s time I told her how I really feel about her.
