14. Two bodies= twice the fun!

           After what seemed like forever. Luca removed his gloved hand from my mouth. He removed both hands in fact, making me stumble forward. My hands traveled to my neck.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" I yelled

"I had to do it" he said

I was furious. He'd done it now. I could've killed him if he wasn't so bloody strong. I didn't want my mind opened up to him and his inspection. I wanted my privacy.

"Hell no you didn't" I whispered loudly

Luca growled.

"We can talk about this later" he said "right now, I think we've got a bigger problem"

I turned to the bodies. It was a gruesome sight. They were naked and almost blue. Their skin was too pale. I couldn't smell any blood in the air.

They were drained.

Awful, it was awful. There were stitches running up and down the bodies. They must've been opened. I felt nauseous, these were people.

I felt myself wretch.

Don't, I heard Luca's voice in my head

Get out! I thought.

He didn't dignify that with a response. Hopefully I was doing it right.

I turned and walked towards Luca. His eyebrows were twitching. His eyes were wide.

"This was done by a medical practitioner" he said "the marks are precise. This was planned"

He sniffed the air.

He crept closer to the bodies. He moved slowly. Not wanting to touch. He examined them, closely. I didn't know how he did it, just the sight of them made me queasy. These were people.

I saw a flash of white. I looked at the ground. There was something there. I walked forward to take a closer look and found myself staring at two drivers licensees. I bent down. Picking them up.

On one of them was a handsome younger guy with thick black hair and brown eyes.

Liam English

I studied the card. He was 25 years old. That was unfair. He must've had a life. A girlfriend or someone else but now he was gone. Just like that.

I checked the other one. An older looking guy of Asian descent.

Henry Chau.

He was 62 years old.

I handed the cards to Luca. He took them from me without a word of thanks. He shoved them in his back pocket. He pulled something out of his coat.

A phone.

It's blinding white light shined in the darkness. He quickly dialed a number and held it up to his ear.

"Phone?" I said "you don't seem like a phone guy?"

"Nightgown?" Was his response

"Touché" I said, crossing my arms.

I felt a shooting pain in my neck where Luca had bitten me. I was still upset.

"Hayes" Luca said into the phone.

I could hear the sound of an angry voice through the line.

"I don't care if you're tired, there's a body...two bodies" Luca continued "We just found them.....I need you to get Claude"

I heard a voice on the line.

"We're near the tunnel, just use your phone to track us"

I rubbed my hands together trying to warm them.
