Sin With Cuffs (26 page)

“It’s okay, Lem. I understand,” she said with a smile.

Holly watched Liam walk back to his cruiser while she collected her things off the ground. She barely heard Liam talking on the radio.  Standing to her feet, she stepped into the puddle of blood where Hartman had laid.  A sadness consumed her.  Life had dealt him a bad hand from the start and, obviously, he’d been consumed in anger.  Maybe she could help him. Where ever he ended up. 

“Damn!” She head Liam say into the radio when she arrived at his open door.

“What’s wrong, Liam,” she asked. 

“Holly, the squad hasn’t made it to the hospital. Should have been there ten minutes ago,” Liam explained as he got out of the cruiser. “And nobody has been able to reach the squad by radio.”

A chill ran through her body. A thought came to her. She rushed back to where the knife had dropped. It was gone. “Liam, did you take the knife?” 

“What? What knife?” he asked. 

“Oh no!” Holly looked at Liam and shook her head. “We’ve got to go find that ambulance.”

They climbed into Liam’s SUV and sped out of the gravel. About a mile up the road, they saw flashing lights and came upon the ambulance pulled over next to the ditch.

Holly and Liam climbed out and she screamed as they came upon the two dead bodies of the paramedics lying on the ground, both with slit throats. The knife that had belonged to Holly was left on the ground with a piece of paper stabbed over the bloody blade.

It read:
