“What did she look like?” Nash asked.
“She looked like a business woman. Had on this short skirt suit and heels. Long blonde hair. Green eyes. Sad.”
“Sad?” Nash, amused, scribbled down his description of the girl.
“Yeah, there was something up. She wanted a tattoo right away, a very intricate design that would have made most men crumble in one session.”
“And you didn’t catch her name?”
“She filled out a consent form, but signed with a made up name.”
Nash finished making his notes. “Well, an alibi that can’t be identified means you don’t have an alibi.”
Walsh slammed his fist on the desk. “I had nothing to do with their murders.” Walsh felt a vein in his neck twitch with anger. His heart hammered inside his ribcage.
Something flashed out of the corner of his eye, drawing Walsh’s attention to the double-sided mirror. There on the reflective surface, The Blue Woman shimmered into view. Her blindfolded eyes were on him, Walsh was sure of it. Her top hand waved the sword she clutched as if beckoning him to follow.
“Did you hear me, Walsh?”
He heard Nash’s voice, but it floated into his ears from a far off place.
“Walsh!”
Walsh tore his eyes away from the mirror, his mind still on The Blue Woman watching him from blindfolded eyes.
Watching. That’s it!
“The security tape. You can watch the security tape and see that I wasn’t alone when Gloria and Grim were murdered.”
Nash twisted his face in disbelief.
“I didn’t kill them.” Walsh leaned back into his chair and crossed his arms. “Find the damn tape.”
Nash sighed. “Alright. I’ll send a team to your shop, but if nothing comes of it, I’m booking you.”
“Whatever, man.” Walsh returned his gaze to the mirror but The Blue Woman was gone.
He and Bridget, if that was even her real name, tore it up last night and Nash and his team were in for a real treat–if his deadbeat apprentice actually remembered to turn on the system before locking up the shop. If he walked out of here, Walsh swore he’d give that junky punk-kid a break. Otherwise, he’d beat him fucking senseless the next chance he got.

About the Author
L.E. Joyce is the real deal. At age six, she became the youngest student to get kicked out of her prestigious private school in New England for writing dirty stories in her little blue spelling book. Not only did she use each of the words assigned that week and spell them correctly, she also managed to give three of her teachers starring roles in several of her tales. As a result, she kept her stories a dirty secret until after graduate school where she earned an MFA in Creative Writing, and the right to write about whatever the hell she wants. Today, she divides her time (although somewhat unequally depending on the day) between her family, her writing, and her secret life as a dominatrix.
