"That won’t be necessary," Cyn said quickly

"Not this tireed "You want me in there with you?"

"Duncan will be with me" Eckhoff opened his mouth to protest, but Cyn raised a hand "He won’t say anything, but I want Ryder to see him A little intiirls--"

"He killed thee unit turned out to be one of those RV places Most rent a big parking space, but our boy had a full garage, co water and a sink in case he wanted to wash down the old Winnebago He’d created a personal abattoir in there"

"Evidence?"

"The whole place reeked of bleach, but it looks like Ha a lot of time at his place when he killed her, because he had a lot of her personal stuff--books, papers, that sort of thing He should have incinerated the whole batch Lucky for us, he filed it all away in storage, nice and neat"

"Yeah, Todd’s a neat guy Any murder weapon?"

"Most likely a plain old barbecue fork There were a few in the unit, high end, heavy duty types ME’s running tests looking for ments in the neck wounds"

"Which they should have done before now"

Eckhoff shrugged "Ten hton"

Ryder looked up when they entered the roo on a plaintable, but it had been pulled away and shoved against one wall so the prisoner sat exposed, hands cuffed behind his back, ankles by shirt and khakis, but they didn’t look quite as neatly pressed "Who the fuck are you?" he snapped

"Not important, Todd," Cyn said pleasantly "But since you asked so nicely, I’ll tell you I’ured you out"

"Bullshit"

"Such a mouth" She tsked "So tell ure she was probably an accident, ument She wants to leave, you’re upset--"

"Fuck that! Do I look like the kind of guy who needs to beg a woman to stay around? Shit Two hours after she’d left, I had so into my bed"

Ryder’s eyes flashed over to where Duncan stood with his back to the observation , aronna have your boyfriend there pound on ood lawyer, lady, ‘cuz I’ I didn’t do Fuck you"

Cyn shook her head inbut friendly But don’t worry--"

"I’m not worried," he cut in quickly, but Cyn continued as if he’d never spoken

"Duncan here’s not going to hit you" She leaned forward and confided, "It’s not really his style Is it, Duncan?" She glanced over her shoulder

Duncan never changed position; he just opened his mouth and smiled

Ryder’s eyes widened and beads of sweat popped out on his forehead as the roo here?" he gasped "You can’t do this I’ve got rights"

"Patti had rights too, Todd So did all those other girls you killed to cover your own ass Or waitto find streaks of cum on those little souvenirs in your hideaway?"

He looked away froust "Jesus, you’re a repulsive bitch--" His gaze snapped back, words cut off as Duncan took a step forward

"You watch your h led to push the bolted chair away from the vampire "Look, look I’d like to help but, I didn’t--"
