Scarlet Rye: A Magnum Novel

Chapter 14

Hansen and Nadri got to the cat house the next morning. The house was running "Morning Service" during the whole time, Ignoring the "sounds", Hansen and Nadri found the two purples hanging from the ceiling. On the wall was the same marking: I ♥ Red!. Hansen figured it out."Vigilance" he whispered to himself. "Revenge" he whispered again. "Satisfaction"."What was that? I can't hear you. Speak up.". Said a confused Nadri. Hansen let out a big grin and showed excitement."The person doing it is only targeting Dr. Shadow! The family member of one of the deceased wants payback! And of course...when they're dead and off the face of the Earth, they can rest in peace!...the family member and the dead!".Nadri questioned Hansen."But wouldn't it be for justice as well?". Hansen replied."All three means justice!".Hansen paced the floor for a quick second thinking of an idea. Then it came to him. He called Shelby, another detective, and asked her to find the family members of the three deceased give him the names."Sure! No problem!"

Scarlet, Joy, and Paul watched the video of the killing and hanging."Whoa!" Paul said, "I did not need to see all that jazz! You ringed his neck like he was a chicken!"Scarlet and Joy laughed, but Paul was really serious."Yeah! So?" Said Scarlet."I'm gonna be ringing other purples necks until I get to Dr. Shadow! So get ready for more twisted and broken necks coming your way!".But then Joy remembered the hooker, she gasped."Scarlet...what about the broad from the cat house?". Scarlet eyes grew big."Oh, Shit! I forgot about her!". Paul was confused."What broad at the cat house?"."Were you not paying attention? She jumped out the bed and ran into the hallway!". Paul rewind the clip and let out a big 'Oh'. Joy just shook her head. Scarlet kept shaking her head."It's not sitting right with me. I gotta find her. I mean, what if she snitches? I can not go to prison!". Paul gave a concerned face."Now Scar, I thought you were supposed to be a superhero, you can't just kill and kill and think that it will help cope with Cam's loss. You save lives. You don't loose them.". Scarlet knew Paul was right. But that wouldn't stop her from knocking off Purples and Dr. Shadow. She wanted them dead and gone. At the knock of the door, the three gathered up everything and hid it. A the door was Hansen and Nadri." Detective Hansen, great to see you again!". Hansen looked and said, I'm gonna need you to come with me...".
