To WriterApprentice: Thanks for your review. I think that you're really going to enjoy Wire in the Blood. There are five seasons that are already on DVD and the sixth I believe will be coming out this year, I hope. The Rowan Gant Investigations have several books; the newest book came out last year.

Chapter 7
Carol was glad that the day was over. She had her first meeting with Rowan Gant, the man that had helped in solving some of the strangest crimes that St. Louis had to give him and met his really overly protective wife. Not that Carol blamed her for being like that but it made Carol wish that she had someone to worry over. Of course if you counted worrying about Tony then she had someone to worry over.
She locked the door and then made herself some coffee. As it brewed she thought about the murders of Sally Slaw and her mother. She didn't even know if they were connected but if they were then the killer had killed twice. She hoped they got to him before he killed a third time. She took a cup from the rack and poured herself some coffee and then went into the living room.
As she sat down she got this itching sensation. She scratched it but it was still there and then it turned into a full-blown burning sensation, like she was on fire. She went into the bathroom and poured some cold water on her neck, trying to get the burning sensation to stop. When she looked up she let out a horrible scream. Someone was standing behind her, the person's skin completely burned.
"Help me," it whispered. "Help me!"
She ran from the room.
When she saw Tony's car pull up five minutes later she let him in, glad to have someone that was alive to talk to. He looked at her with concern on his face.
"I saw someone in my bathroom," Carol told him. "Someone that had been burned and I know who it was."
"Who?"
"Sally," Carol answered. "God, it was like watching a nightmare and it happens to be in your house."
"Are you sure that you weren't imagining it?" Tony asked.
Carol gave him a look.
"Why don't you sit down and let's talk about this," he told her.
Carol nodded and sat down.
"So what happened?" Tony asked.
"I was about to enjoy my coffee when I felt this itching sensation. I scratched it but it wouldn't go away," Carol explained. "And then it turned into this burning sensation and I went into the bathroom to cool my skin off. When I looked up I saw her, standing there. She was completely burned and she was asking me to help her."
"We're you taking any drugs?" he asked.
"Tony, I wasn't taking anything," Carol snapped. "I know what I saw."
"Okay, so what do you think this means?" Tony asked.
"I don't know," Carol answered. "I mean, I don't know."
By time Tony left Carol still didn't know.
The next day Carol tried to remain normal as she asked Paula if the doctor had returned with that report.
"He says that he'll have it by the end of the day," Paula told her.
"Thanks," Carol said and then went into her office.
She sat down and rubbed her neck. It still hurt but not as much. She then opened the file and started looking over what the corner had found out about how Sally had died. He noted that an instrument had been used to pry her legs apart. Carol shivered. She must have fought against her attacker. She then closed it and her thoughts went over everything. She was determined to get this man and make him pay for what he had done.
"Carol," said a voice.
She looked up to see Paula standing there.
"Yes," she said.
"This came for you," she told her, handing her a book.
"Who dropped it off?" Carol asked.
"I don't know but the delivery man wanted to make sure that you got it."
Carol thanked her and then opened the book.
It was all about the methods of torture used by the Inquisition. Carol figured that Rowan found something that would explain what killed Sally. As she looked her stomach turned. How could holy men do this to people? Suddenly something got her attention. She read it twice and then bolted out the door.
The doctor was busy finishing up when Carol showed up. He was a little surprised as he hadn't done the report yet. Carol also looked like she had ran to his office and he knew that she had something to say.
"Doc, I think I know what was used on her," Carol told him.
"Well I'm all ears," he said.
"A hot poker was rammed up her vagina," Carol said.
"How did-."
"I read it in this book that I got," Carol answered.
"I got the impression that something had," the doctor told her. "Well I'm going to start on my report and have it to you in an hour."
"Thanks, doc," Carol said and then left.

A/N: I know it's a short chapter but I wanted to give everyone a very good Carol/Tony moment.
