Terror on the Beach Read Free Page A

. It was like it gave me permission to continue. I came right away at the next stab which was on his side. At this point he looked terrified and I started rubbing myself against him and came again.
    He was too scared to move and I took my time stabbing. He passed out and it made me mad. I wanted him to make some noise.
    I hadn’t stabbed him that much but I couldn’t find a pulse and it didn’t look like he was breathing so I left him for dead.
    After I got home I got myself cleaned. Every time I thought about him I came again but it didn’t seem to be enough. He was like an unfinished project. I knew I would have to hunt someone again real soon.
     
     
     
    CHAPTER FOUR
    Over the next few weeks Robert and I hardly saw each other. We were both busy with our work. There had been another stabbing, a young boy but for some reason the stabber had left him alive. We had a small hospital that had only been open for a couple of years. He was admitted there with a deputy guarding his room.
    The boy was in a coma and no one knew who he was. His photograph was put on the front page of the Monroe Gazette but no one had come forward. We figured he was probably a run-away.
    Robert said they had taken the boy’s fingerprints and had sent them off to the FBI in hopes of finding an ident ity in their missing person’s files.
    The next day an FBI agent arrived from Atlanta . His name was Simon Carter. Robert called me as I was closing the shop and asked me to meet him at TJs.
    When I walked in I saw Robert sitting with one of the largest men I have ever seen. He looked like a mountain of solid muscle and he towered over Robert.
    I always thought Robert was a big man and I liked that. It always made me feel safe. Robert looked small next to Simon who was also black.
    It wasn’t all that long ago that Robert and Simon would not have had positions of authority in the south but now it was the 21 st century.
    Simon turned out to be one of the funniest guys I’d ever met. He told jokes throughout the meal and it wasn’t until dessert that he got serious.
    “Look, Robert, I don’t want to step on any toes here, but I’m here to help. It’s still your case. I’m not here to take it away from you. I was assigned to this case by my boss because it appears to be a federal case now.
    “If you want, I can work in the background doing the computer work and tap ping into our data bases. I’m going to let you use me how you want. By the way, has the boy regained consciousness yet?”
    “Not yet and to tell you the truth, the doctors can’t figure it out. His injuries aren’t that severe as to cause him to be in a coma. They’re running tests but they’re baffled. They said it appears that the boy has shut himself down.”
    “You know what? We had a case in Atlanta of a young woman who had been raped and went into a coma. There were no injuries serious enough for her to be in a coma but she was. I need to look that up because the doctors did figure out what was causing the coma. I can’t remember what it was. If I can find that data, maybe it will help the doctors here.”
    After Simon left to check into the hotel, Robert and I lingered over coffee. “Wouldn’t it be great if we could find a way to wake this boy up and get him to give us a description of this killer?”
    I agreed, “It would be and then maybe I could hang out at the beach without you trying to turn into my daddy.”
    He took my hand and kissed it, “I’m only trying to look out for you, sugar. You know that. I love you very much. Would you love me more if I let you become one of this guy’s victims? I’m sorry if I’m overprotective on this one thing but it’s a big thing, don’t you think?”
    “I know you’re right, Robert. I feel so pinned down when you start getting protective.” I flexed my muscles. “Look at my biceps and triceps, Robert. I work out all the time, with weights; I do aerobics, and walk on the beach. I’m in good shape.”
    “Okay,
