‘I’m not messing her around. I like her. Like, really like her.’
Ewen had moved to the other side of my table and was staring at my screen. ‘Wait... Katie wasn’t the only one playing away. It’s Tommy.’
‘What’s Tommy?’
‘The guy she’s dancing with.’
We moved around to watch the screen. Eloise had turned and we could clearly see both her face and his. It was undoubtedly Tommy.
‘He’d been in a playroom with someone. I didn’t pay attention to who as I was focused on Katie...’
Ewen leaned forward and scrubbed through the footage until we saw them making their way to the room.
‘Wait,’ I said, ‘rewind a couple of seconds. There. His rings. The killer was wearing a load, too. If they match, we might be onto something.’
Logan pulled up the alley sequence up on one computer while Ewen zoomed into the rings as best he could on his screen.
It was blurry, but I was sure.
Tommy had killed Eloise.
Shit.
Holy shit.
Katie. I had to warn her.
I pulled out my phone and found our texts, pressing the call button. It rang. And rang.
‘Answer the phone, Katie.’
‘She might be sleeping. It’s pretty late,’ Logan said, his eyebrows furrowing as the ringing sounded out from my handset.
‘I need to go tell her to go to Cam’s. Until we can find Tommy and end him like I should have done fucking months ago.’
‘He’s a celeb. I think we should let the police deal with this one.’ Ewen ran a hand through his hair while fixing me with a stare.
‘All the more reason we need to deal with it ourselves. I don’t think Eloise is his only kill, and if he goes through the courts, there’s a chance it’ll all get covered. Katie won’t be safe until he’s dead. If you don’t want to help, fine, but he will be dead as soon as I know she’s safe.’
‘What do you mean she’s not his only kill?’ Logan asked.
Tingles crept up my spine as I bit my lip, trying to figure out how much to tell them.
‘Spit it out, Mac. If we’re going to fillet a rockstar, at least fill us in first.’ Ewen sat heavily on the edge of the table.
‘The first night I was with her, Tommy was there. Passed out.’
‘Jesus, Mac.’
‘He had blood on his hands. He forced himself on her, where he usually couldn’t get it up. I think he killed someone else to get a boner and took it home to Katie.’
‘Fucking hell.’
‘That’s not all,’ I said, a flashback of pushing the male corpse into the vat making me grimace. ‘Katie woke up with a body in her bed.’
Logan looked like I’d slapped him upside the head. Ewen pushed his face into his hands and groaned.
‘She thought she’d killed him when blackout drunk. I fixed it for her.’
