Chapter 4- Another Casualty And A Blonde Cop

Her screams were like music to his ears. Watching intently with dark brown eyes as the young woman staggered backward, James let out a long sigh. He didn't want to do this but she had betrayed him , losing the precious innocence that had attracted him to her in the first place. This was her fault, James reassured himself as he moved toward her. The woman had rejected his love for her and deserved what was coming.

"Please don't do this!" The young blonde woman pleaded with a crack in her voice. James tuned out her pathetic attempts to free herself from this situation and proceeded with his plan. Three quick steps forward and the steel blade in his hand penetrated flesh. Crying out in pain, the blonde glanced down at her abdomen, her blue eyes widening in horror at the sight of the crimson-colored blood beginning to soak the front of her white laced nightgown. She slowly looked back up at her intruder, and the pain in those deep blue eyes cut through him sharply. He almost felt remorse. Almost.

James watched the color drain from her beautiful and delicate face as he retracted the blade. She began to collapse and before her limp body could hit the ground he caught her in his arms. Without taking another glance at her face he placed his strong arms under her slim legs and carried her quickly to the queen-sized bed in the center of the master bedroom.

"The dead do weigh a ton." The brunette thought darkly, positioning the dead woman among the matching white pillows on the bed. Quickly he crossed her arms over her chest. Then James remembered the white rose tucked away in his jacket. He retrieved it and placed it on her abdomen as he did with his first victim.

Ah yes, Jennifer. She had been such a sweet girl but she couldn't keep her hands to herself. But James Bradley wouldn't have to worry about her anymore, his next prey would be worth the effort. He had managed to capture her on film, something about her spoke to him. Was it her confidence? Beauty? Or maybe a combination of both? James didn't need to work out the details right away, there was plenty of time for planning. And at this moment everything was coming along perfectly. A slow smile spread across his face at the thought. One last finishing touch and he was out of here: a single photograph fluttered onto the bed.

The subject: A blonde cop.
