Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 14

"Detective!" The newly appointed police officer was trembling. He had made the discovery and was now a part of something that he was not entirely prepared to face.

The detective slowly made his way through the tape, the other officers and the ever increasing crowd. He had been woken out of a great dream and this had him in a foul mood. It had been years since he dreamt and longer still since he had anything nice to dream about. What they found however, gave him chills and the promise of old nightmares that will once more consume his nights.

"Constable Jones. I'm Detective Harrison. Can you please show me your discovery."

They shook hands and Jones led Harrison through the car-park to the stairs. While he was searching for a missing vehicle, he had stumbled on something bigger. There on the dirty concrete floor, was a triangular sliver of human bone. It wasn't very big and was almost overlooked. Engraved into it, a word in Morse Code, "LOVE". Initially, Jones had assumed it to be a piece of jewellery when he bent down for a closer inspection. The bone must have gotten caught and come unhinged. It was pure chance that he remembered the old case that had never been solved.

Harrison picked up the specimen in his gloved hand. A cold sweat broke out and he tried to calm himself. The bone didn't look very old. It looks as though the killer was back in business. This time, they won't get away.
