finally found me.

They couldn’t question me too hard since I had been telling them all along

that Shaw was the Beast. I was the girl who had to escape him TWICE

because they wouldn’t listen to me.

It helped that the cops uncovered a mountain of evidence in Shaw’s

apartment.

Most damning was Shaw’s collage of stolen driver’s licenses. He had spraypainted

them gold, hiding them within one of his technicolor paintings. When

the cops scraped off the paint, they found the IDs of Maddie Walker and

twenty other victims, Erin’s “lost” license among them.

They also found the wallets of two missing men: art critic Carl Danvers and

Professor Oswald. The papers noted that Danvers attended a party with Shaw

shortly before his disappearance, and that Shaw was one of the professor’s

students at CalArts when he likewise went missing. The professor’s wallet

finally allowed the death of Valerie Whittaker to be linked to the Beast.

Cole was extremely pleased that I managed to break into Shaw’s apartment

before the cops showed up.

“And you didn’t leave a single print!” he said, admiringly.

“I learned from the best,” I grinned back at him.

exhilarating rather than horrifying. I’m beginning to understand how even the

most reckless acts can feel like a game, the high stakes only enhancing the

fun.

Still, I’m glad it’s over.

Or I suppose I should say, almost over.

I have one piece of unfinished business to attend to.

I’M STANDING on the front step of a dingy, single-level house in Bakersfield.
