her with food too, so she wouldn’t have to be hungry. He wasn’t planning on staying too long at his parents’ place, but he wanted to make sure she had food just in case it took longer than planned. His heart broke when he saw how hungry she had been, when he thought of the fact that had he come home sooner he could have prevented that hunger, and he refused to let that happen to her again. He made sure she had plenty of food and water, and he put the heat on for her. He wasn’t there often enough to really need the house hot, plus he was more hot blooded in nature so it never felt really cold in there to him whenever he came home, but for her he would let the heat stay high so she could stay warm.
He thought about how hot he had been last night while she slept comfortably. He had slept in hotter environments so it didn’t destroy him, but he would say having her naked body on top of his didn’t help him sleep. She had slept comfortably on that sofa in the basement with him. He would have loved to take her up to his bedroom, but he didn’t want to risk a possible sighting of her through cracks in the blinds or an errant curtain. He had cleaned up upstairs and came back to the basement after turning off the lights. He knew his house well enough to navigate without light, but there were slithers of street lights coming in through the window shades in places. She was waiting up for him, and when he came down she moved so he could lie down on the couch. She told him she would sleep on the floor. Floor? No, he wouldn’t have that so he pulled her on top of him and held her naked body there. She fit perfectly in his arms even if it did increase the heat, and something else, for him.
He thought about her now. He wasn’t going to be long. She was wearing one of his dress shirts that was sexy on her but still swallowing her since it was too big for her. He had to get her a change of clothes and he couldn’t do that by going to her place. He packed some of his stuff in his duffle and took the cab that waited outside for him. He went to his parents’ home with every intent of leaving swiftly but his mother tried to plow him with food the moment he crossed the threshold.
“I can’t,” he said when she offered him food once again. She lowered her eyes to the ground. “Come sit with me, both of you,” he pointed to the chairs at the dining room table. “Has anybody been in here lately?”
“No,” his father shook his head. “What’s going on?”
“You can’t let this get out to anybody—not even the cops. I found Olivia.”
“What?” His father looked shocked his mother looked worried. Between the two of them he could read where their minds had gone, but it was his father who spoke first. “She’s not…she’s not…”
“Dead?” He finished the words his father couldn’t. “No. She was hiding at my place.”
“Hiding? Doesn’t she know people are looking for her?” His mother’s tone was irate. “Doesn’t she know she could help solve this murder? Why won’t she come forward?” She was angry and he could tell that. He had to explain. “I’m calling Detective—”
“No you’re not. Sit down, Mom, this is important.” He waited until his mother sat back down. “She saw the murder. She saw the man and she heard the call he put in while he didn’t realize she was hiding in the closet. He told the guy on the other end to send two officers to take care of it—it being Amber’s body. Officers implies the cops have some dirt in their department and I can’t risk her life that it’s somebody handling the case.”
His mother gasped and his father growled angrily. “Cops? Dirty cops? Which ones?”
Chogan could hear the anger in his father’s tone and he knew that meant the man was ready to pull out a weapon and go hunting. “Not sure. What I do know is from what Olivia told me this guy comes across like an assassin. I think Amber found his kill list.”
“So he killed her,” his
