Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 66

That made twenty-four girls missing. He shook his head. Something disturbed him. Generally bodies were located within forty-eight hours of the report filed. Dead. Hacked open. Where were all the bodies?

Detective Harrison shuddered as he looked over the two Walker sisters' files. Attractive girls. Intelligent too. Tara Walker was such a determined girl! She had spent countless hours and all her money searching for her sister, only to now be a part of the missing twenty-four. He felt nauseous as he thought of what had probably happened to her.

Were these girls still alive? The last person to see Tara Walker was Constable Danielle Miller. Something about her made his skin crawl! She was hiding something. Perhaps she had a clue? Perhaps she had left her unattended and was now worried of the consequences? Was Tara missing because of a careless mistake made by a silly police officer?

He paced his small office and gulped down the cold percolated coffee, drinking it more from habit rather than for the taste. It helped him stay awake. He hated to admit it but he was scared of closing his eyes and seeing the twenty-four girls screaming for help in his sleep.

Sitting down at his desk, he stared at the cork-board littered with the pictures loved ones had brought in of their missing girls. They all looked alike. Maybe the perp was doing this out of revenge? There had to be a clue. Something that would help them find him and stop the madness.

Massaging his temples he stood and walked to the door. The office was becoming claustrophobic. He needed to be out there, looking with the police officers.
