Mckenna The Fan is a busy place. Residential housing bumped up against shops, restaurants and bars, but even so, our neighborhood was relatively quiet. If there ever were complaints about noise it was usually against us. There would be numerous calls tonight. Our quaint house and its charming rooms were overrun. We’d moved dead guy [...]
Mckenna We were enjoying a few moments of silence. I was out of cake and Lena had poured all the wine and slapped a handwritten Bar closed sign up we were eating cake when her phone buzzed. She pulled it from her pocket looked at it and the next words out of her mouth? Yep. [...]
Mckenna The sculpture exhibit at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is a favorite of the Richmond elite for charity events. The rotunda has a separate entrance and the sculptures are large, sturdy, sparsely placed and therefore safe from revelers as they mingled, danced, wined and dined. Normally, I try to stay away from [...]
Mckenna The medical Examiner’s offices sat on the edge of downtown and had its own parking lot, but it was quite a hike to the actual entrance. Since it was a Sunday, street parking was free and plentiful. I parked my boring to the point of invisible silver wagon in front of the double [...]
Mckenna I wiped my mouth and sent Lena the McGovern Glare of Death. “Uh, okay so maybe not.” Resting my head on the wheel, I took a couple breaths and reminded Lena of our reality, “We have a truck full of contraband, two teens, and George.” “Right so maybe the drive thru…. Glare. “Okay okay, [...]
Mckenna After Allie shut down the Seth haters, it was only a matter of getting through the next fifty minutes of updates, motions, complaints suggestions and one heated exchange between the owner of Dogma, the everything for your dog store and Pet Place, who wanted to begin offering dog-grooming services. Finally, somebody said something in [...]
“Allie’s good with stray people.” Christy noted. Thank the Goddess, “Get that dress in a plastic bag.” “On it.” Lena said and followed them upstairs. I had no idea what had transpired in that back room, but I knew what didn’t. Sachet Cabrolet did not stab Lars some twenty-something times. The blood pattern on the [...]
Christy Their back yard wasn’t big, but Trudy’s poop sure was. Christy pulled the little blue plastic bag out of the lower left pocket of her cargo pants, wrapped it around her hand and “Scooped the poop.” “We’ll go ahead and put this in the outside garbage.” She told the happy canine trotting at [...]
Mckenna We got the B team out of the door an hour later. Basically they asked us to keep all this quiet. I rolled my eyes and walked away. Lena called them idiots and Gavin promised to do horrible things to them if the identity of Alex Kane ever came out because it "sure as [...]
Six years after The Rescue...... “This is beautiful” “Isn't it?” The stubby little man in front of me holds my dagger up. Afternoon light falling through high windows dance over the hilt. Ivory glowed, gold blazed, gemstones flickered with hidden fire - a beautiful weapon in the hands of a monster. It was almost poetic. [...]
