The Seductive Slicer

VI

"What the hell am I in here for? I haven't done anything...."

"That's what I would like to know. I have to go to work in a few hours. And when I say few, I mean less than three."

"Just to cut to the chase, there has been multiple murders around Los Angeles lately..." Says Ross

"Soooo...what does that have to do with either one of us?"

Then a questionable look comes across Porsha's face.

"You think we had something to do with it!?" She asked

"At each of the crime scenes, left behind was a black rose..." Says Moore

"And left on that rose...was that exact scent that you two are wearing...." Says Ross as he sits in the chair

"So, out of everyone...you think it's us because we have on a random scent of perfume? Do you know that there are others walking around here with this same scent...?" She asks with slight attitude.

"On top of that...we wouldn't know where to get black roses. Never seen any anywhere. So, you have the wrong people..." Says Porsha

Before Ross could get anything out, someone walks in telling the detectives that they have been notified on a card used at the jewelry store in the mall.

Porsha and her friend look at each other as they just sit and listen...

"Did they mention name?" Asked Moore

"Yes. And it's a woman..."

"I know I'm probably not suppose to acknowledge you guys at the moment. But, this card...does it belong to a victim?"

"Unfortunately, yes..." Ross responded

As everyone was getting information...Porsha's friend...had a flashback from earlier in the day.

....."Oh! This is my favorite perfume. I wear it on special occasions. It's my signature scent...".....

....."Ummm. You know black roses mean death, right?".....

....."You have to admit, they're beautiful flowers. That's why I have a lot of them.".....

"Jasmine..." Brittany whispers to herself

"What?"

Brittany looks at Porsha.

"It's Jasmine. The black roses. The scent. She said herself it's her signature scent. That she uses for special occasions...."

She's in disbelief. The only thing Porsha could think is that it can't possibly be true. Not even a little bit.

"Every single time I've asked her about something new she has on...she says it's from someone that has gotten it for her..." She continues

"Do you realize how many people could have the rose and scent? Who knows when she got that card. She's the only one that knows..." Porsha says

Ross looks at them as he taps his pen.

"Well, let's bring her in..."
