Chapter 17
Josephine’s POV...
I pulled up in front of my mother's house at about midnight. I had called her before I left so I knew she was still awake. The last five years have been hard on her. I haven’t been to visit as often as I should because I was so focused on proving myself. I usually only visited once or twice a year and almost always around the holidays. I felt bad now even more as I set in front of her house. I sighed as I saw her porch light come on.

I had watched over these last few years as he would torture and kill these poor women and I was helpless. Until he came home outraged and brutally killed his latest victim. I thought that he was going to kill me too but instead he pulled me out and threatened my mother if I didn’t do everything he told me to do. I had no choice. Ethan was insane and completely obsessed with Joey. He had me first dispose of the body of his victim.

“You have to be mistaken,” I said after I regained my composure.“I’m sorry detective but I’m not. I ran the print three times. It belongs to officer James Bradley.” I still couldn’t believe it.“Ok as soon as you can compare the prints to any that are on the evidence that came in from my mother's house. Oh, and have you found the evidence that detective Knight had your lab process for him before he was killed?” There was silence for a minute. Then confusion in the tech’s voice.“What evidence? This is all I have here.”“Captain White said that Knight had gotten a lead off of some evidence that your lab processed for him off of the McMahon case.”“Oh, well that was before I started here. But I will get a hold of the lab tech that was working then and have him call you.”“Great thank you. Let me know as soon as you compare the prints.”

Ethan’s POVI stood there watching her kiss this man completely lost in him and all I felt was hate and anger. I had to control the Monster inside me wanting to rip his throat out and just take her now. I cleared my throat and she returned her gaze to me. She apologized and then we all went to the diner. I played cool even though all I wanted was to have her in my arms and her blood dripping down my body. We made small talk and then she pulled the old file out. When she had shown me it at the station door it had intrigued me. Then as it laid in front of me the memories came flooding back.I stared at the pictures. The one that started it all. I was so sloppy I am surprised I didn’t get caught. Rose McClain was a beautiful young lady. She was my babysitter. Even though I was thirteen at the

Josephine’s POVMy eyes cracked open as I heard my phone ringing. Michael was asleep next to me so I grabbed it and walked into the hall. “Hello, this is Wells.”“Joey this is Captain White. There has been another murder. Well, actually two murders.” I could hear something was off in his voice. It was starting to worry me.“Yes sir where are the bodies?” He gave me the address and as I wrote it down the address looked familiar to me. “Sir why does this address look familiar?”“Well, it is Ethan Graves's parent's house. Where he grew up. It also was in the file on Rose.” That’s right they were her neighbors a

I stared at him in disbelief. “What did you just say?”“I didn’t stutter Joey. I killed them all including Tara and Cooper.” I took a seat in front of him. I stared into his eyes and I could see no hint of anything wrong at first. I pulled out the pictures of all the victims.“Okay, James if what you are saying is true then let’s start with the first. I want you to tell me everything you did to each and every one of them.” He looked at me and then looked at the window and back at me again. I knew something wasn’t right. He may have been guilty of taking drugs while on duty but he wasn’t a murderer. “James, look at me. What is going on? We were partners. I know you aren’t responsible for this.”“I can’t Joey. Just book me for the murders. I have to do this.” He wouldn’t say anything else after that. I walked out and into the hall. White was there waiting for me.

“Joey, can you hear me? God, please talk to me.” I could hear the voices around me but I couldn’t open my eyes or say anything. I kept coming in and out. I knew that I was hurt but I didn’t remember why. I kept having images of different things but they were blurry. My body finally gave in and my brain shut down long enough to recover.Two days later...“Doctor she has been out for two days now. Is she okay?”“All her test have come back normal. I think her body just needs to rest. The explosion was very rough on her.” I cracked my eyes open and saw my mother sitting next to me and Ethan was talking with the doctor.“Mom. Whe
