    Summary

    He looked up, and the tears started. His lip shook. He wiped his face roughly, like he was mad at himself for crying.

    He was sixteen, broad shoulders, sharp jawline, starting to look more and more like Tim. But right then, with red eyes, blotchy skin, and fresh bruises, he looked like a kid again.

    Mom...”

    That was all it took. One word, and Lucy knew. She saw it written all over him. Beneath the bruises, behind the fear. The truth he hadn’t wanted her to find out like this.

    OR

    When Lucy and Tim get a call from their teenager’s school about a fight, they brace for trouble, but nothing prepares them for the real reason behind their son’s outburst.

    Summary

    Lucy doesn't find out what it's like to kiss Tim until eight months after they start fucking.

    They’ve both just come and he’s still softening inside of her when suddenly his lips are on hers, hard and punishing with more than a hint of teeth. It’s not unlike he’s trying to devour her.

    To say that Lucy isn't expecting it would be an understatement. There are rules to this thing—unspoken though they may be—rigid, inflexible rules she's had to work out for herself through trial and error, and by now she knows what is and isn't allowed.

    They always meet at Tim’s house. They don't touch gently or slowly or after they've come. They don’t leave marks where they can be seen. They don't talk during. They don’t talk about it after. They don't stay.

    Summary

    Grey continues to reach into the box and pull out the latest scene: a scaled-down replica of the Farmdale metro station. Even though it’s been a few days, Lucy doesn’t need to see the crime scene photos to compare; Nolan and she were the first officers on scene. The same pale blue benches, the same yellow tactile flooring of the platform, the same overflowing trash can. The same dismembered torso and left arm of John Shore, ten feet from the rest of his body, spread along the bloodied tracks.

    Nolan lets out a low whistle. “It’s like a piece of art.”

    “Because it is,” Aaron agrees. “But a little too macabre for my taste.”

    “And the blood, is it…?” Lucy trails off as Nyla nods.

    “It’s a match for the victim’s. Same as the others.”

    The group studies the scene for a moment more until Tim, hovering near the back, speaks up. “It’s the third one.”

    “Yes.” Heaving out a sigh, Grey casts a glance across his officers. “Which means we now have a serial killer on our hands.”

    Someone is sending detailed miniature models of homicides to Mid-Wilshire.
