don’t think he’ll be all too happy I answered his phone. I’ll just wake him.” She sulked, wishing she’d turned off the phone instead of answering it. What line of work was he in anyway? “Dale, you have a phone call,” she said, shaking him awake. She sat up, unwillingly pulling herself out of his embrace, “Dale, wake up.”
    Carson stirred, then settled his head on her lap and wrapped his arms around her waist, “What, is the movie over?” he sounded more drugged than asleep.
    “Three hours ago,” she answered, gently stroking his head, “You have a phone call.” She placed the phone on his ear, but he didn’t say a word, he went back to sleep instead. “Dale!” she laughed, shaking him awake.
    “Audrey what is it?” he asked groggily, the sound of annoyance at the edge of his voice. He pulled Ellie in closer so that he could take a look at his watch on his wrist. This girl has such a tiny waist, but she’s heavy , he thought to himself as he listened to Audrey on the line.
    “Are you at your girlfriend’s house?” She asked eagerly, “Or did you finally bring a girl to your apartment?”
    “Audrey,” he groaned, pinching Ellie’s belly with his lips, making her giggle.
    “I’m so happy for you!” She had screeched before she was serious again. She wished she didn’t have to ruin the best moment of their lives, “We have another serial killer.”
    Dale’s stomach dropped and his body went rigid, “Where?”
    “His or her last victim is from here, Washington, but murder reports with the same MO have appeared in Boston too. I have one more person to call, the rest are on their way.”
    “Thanks sweet cheeks.”
    “Don’t call me that! She’ll think you are cheating on her, and we’ll lose a girlfriend!”
    “You really need to focus on your relationship and leave mine alone. I’ll see you in fifteen minutes.”
    “What are you and sweet cheeks squabbling about?” Ellie asked unsure if she should be jealous or not.
    He stood up and walked to the bathroom, “How long did you guys talk for?”
    Ellie felt caught, “Not long. She just asked me to wake you up.”
    “How did she sound to you?” he asked, walking out with his head and face wet, a towel in his hand.
    She dried the back of his head as he put on his shoes, “She sounds nice, really sweet.”
    “That’s why I call her sweet cheeks. She wanted to know if you were my girlfriend and where I spent the night.” He then stood up and looked down at her, analysing her expressions.
    Ellie looked up at him, “And?” She wasn’t sure if she’d like any of the two obvious answers because she wasn’t sure what title he held in her life. They’d only seen each other four times, but talked and constantly texted for seventeen days.
    He kissed her lightly on her lips at first and then deepened it, pulling her tightly and closely against him. If it weren't for work, he would have led this down the direction it was crying to go. “And I have to go,” he whispered on her lips before he pulled away.
    Ellie stared at him dreamily, her body numbed by a voltage of passion that surged through her. She had felt this before, just not like this!
    “I’ll call you later,” as he walked out the door. Ellie just nodded, and then she slowly closed the door. She leaned against it, still dazed by the kiss.
    “Oh my....” she sunk down the door, onto the floor.
     

Chapter Six
    Carson stepped out of his car and walked up the victim’s driveway, Ellie still on his mind. There was yellow tape around the house and a police barricade keeping the reporters and the onlookers out. He walked into the house- an air of dread hung inside it. Police officers were all over, processing the house. Paloma and Doran were seated with a man he assumed to be the victim’s boyfriend. He walked up the stairs and spotted Kevin, Gwen and Richard. He was sure that was where the murder was committed. The tied up naked body and the blood on the bed and wall
