Ash
I stared in disbelief at the photo. Tanner and Rosalie looked so happy together. One week before she’d gone missing.
And the worst part? Tanner knew I’d been searching for Rosalie. Hell, the whole reason we went to the Emerald Oasis this weekend was because I’d shown him a photo of her.
It would have been so easy for him to say, “She used to be my girlfriend.” But had he said that? Nope. Because…
Oh God.The conclusion was obvious:
“Tanner killed Rosalie,” I gasped.
“What?” asked Chastity. “No way. He’s too hot to be a murderer.”
“I don’t think that’s how anything works. He definitely murdered her. Why else would he not have told me that he knew her? Or that he’d been dating her? Or whatever he’d been doing with her at the Society.” The office started to spin and my stomach turned over. How could he do this to me? God, how could he have done this toher?That sick fuck.I gagged.
Chastity nudged a trashcan towards me. “Please don’t barf all over that blouse. That’s like, my #3 best seduction top. Forwork occasions, obvs. I have way better tops for other seduction times.”
“I can’t believe I’ve kissed a murderer.” I spit into the trashcan, but it did nothing to rid me of that awful feeling of betrayal.I can’t believe I let him touch me.
“I really don’t think he murdered her.” She pointed to the picture on the laptop of Tanner and Rosalie. “Look at the way he’s looking at her. He was definitely smashing her. In a sexy way. Not in a serial-killer-who-puts-his-victims-in-a-trash-compactor way.”
“Oh God. What if he did smush her body in a trash compactor?! That explains why they never found any trace of her…” I could picture it all so clearly.Poor Rosalie.
“Nah, that’s a messy way to go. Back in the day Daddy considered adding it to his execution repertoire, but his exploratory study found that it actually left quite a bit of DNA evidence. Speaking of DNA evidence, you said Tanner’s from overseas, right?”
“How does that relate to DNA evidence? Do you think I had him do a 23andMe test or something?”
Chastity shook her head. “No. But now that you mention it, we totes should have done that when we were trying to figure out his secret. Anyway, my thought was that maybe Tanner kidnapped Rosalie and took her to his overseas harem.”
“You think he’s a sex trafficker?”
“I was thinking he keeps the women for his own uses. But yeah, it’s possible he sells them too. Either way…I bet she’s getting covered in DNA evidence.” She mimed jerking off a dick and stuck her tongue out to catch it. “That lucky girl! #HaremEnvy, am I right?”
“No you’re not right!” The idea was horrifying. I’d watchedTakenlike ten times after Rosalie disappeared. I’d dreamt of calling up her kidnappers and telling them that I had avery particular set of skills. Unfortunately, I didn’t actually have any of Liam Neeson’s skills. And I also didn’t have any leads. So that phone call never happened. But now? Maybe I’d get my opportunity to say that line next time Tanner called me.
“Oooh!” said Chastity. “I have another theory. Where he's completely innocent. As we’ve established, Tanner and Rosalie were definitely smashing before she went missing. The pussy was so good that he was devastated for years when she disappeared until one day he noticed you – the sister of his one true love – watching him on the street. So he bided his time until your divorce got finalized, and then he made his move.”
“Ew. He’s pretending like I’m her?” The thought made my skin crawl.
Chastity shrugged. “Could be. Or maybe he just wanted to meet you. And then he couldn’t help but fall in love with your hot bod.” She drummed on my boobs.
I swatted her hand away. “I hate that for me.” For some reason all of that seemed even worse than him being a murderer. Or maybe better. Gah! I didn’t know! But I didn’t want Tanner to be a serial killer. Maybe Chastity was right. Maybe Tanner wassomehow innocent. Ish. I took a deep breath. “It’s still creepy that he didn’t mention that he knew her. He had to know that I’d eventually find out. Especially once I sent that stock photo to him on Friday. I’m really starting to think that he was planning to chop me up into little bits during our drive to the Emerald Oasis.”
“Well what stopped him?”
“Nigel came along for the ride. I think that weird little man may have saved my life…”
Chastity shook her head. “Nah, if Tanner’s a murderer, then his houseboy would definitely be in on it.”
