A Twisted Coupling – Nic Roberts (1)

“If we go rushing in there without knowing where they are, we risk creating a mad panic for nothing.” “I’d rather a mad panic than fresh corpses,” Andrew insisted. Unnoticed by everyone, Liv had gone extremely silent. She was thinking about the existence of the carnival and how it could possibly change everything for them.

“What time does this thing open?” Liv asked Rachel. “Erm… about six or seven tonight, give or take,” the young constable responded. Liv looked at her watch. It’d just gone 2 pm. “Right, that should give us a few hours.” “A few hours to do what?” Andrew asked. “If there’s a possibility that these two are going to be at this carnival… then we need to be there to face them,” Liv suggested.

The reactions amongst the group looked decidedly mixed. “With respect, ma’am,” Rachel began, trying to choose her words carefully, lest she talk back to a superior. “If these killers are going to be there, shouldn’t we be looking at evacuation?” “If the couple are aware that you are onto them and are planning a trap for them, then it could scare them off.

At the moment, as far as they’re concerned, you don’t have any rope to hang them with, which gives you an advanage,” Dr Pike noted, trying to take the most pragmatic point of view. But a look in Andrew’s direction saw him register momentary disgust with her assumed callousness, and it reminded her of all the times that bluntness had interfered with their relationship. “Look, this isn’t a situation I’m happy with taking advantage of,” Olivia said, needing to get them on board. She looked around to make sure nobody outside her team was listening in.

“I am well aware that we are putting a lot of people at risk by doing this. Believe me, that is not lost on me in the slightest, and the gaffer could still shoot me down. But if we don’t do this, then they’re going to move onto another town and they’re going to keep on killing and moving on. We’ve already got at least twenty victims so far.

So, at the very least, I want to make sure that number doesn’t go any higher.” All four people fell silent, understanding what was at stake. “Well, then,” she said, knowing the buck would stop with her. “I think I’d better go and run it by Collins.” 1kitap1.com/en s it me, or do your updates always seem to involve some ethical dilemna?” Superintendent Collins asked, leaning back in his chair, looking beyond exhausted. “Sir, if I could see another way of doing this, believe me, I’d take it, but I can’t,” she said, stood across the desk from him.

“And what proof do you actually have that they’re going to be there?” he asked, and just before she could answer, he added, “And before you say ‘Dr Pike’, remember, she’s a psychiatrist, not a clairvoyant.” Liv lowered her head.

But… one of you can still walk away in one piece. The question is, which one is it going to be?” The man and the woman were sat in opposing chairs at the dining table. Their hands had been tied to the armrests. The entire scene had been made up to look like a romantic encounter.

Candles had been lit all around the room, the carpet had been strewn with fake roses, and all of the pictures featuring the man and the woman had been neatly arranged on the mantlepiece. But rather than looking like a romantic scene of two people celebrating their love… it gave the impression of somebody trying too hard. “I don’t need to look around the room to know there’s trouble in paradise.” Eyes darted over to the man. “I know that you have been trying to hide those dodgy investments you made last year.”

A different pair of eyes went over to the woman. “And I know you’ve been fluttering your eyelashes at your colleague.” “Nothing’s happened yet!” the woman screeched, her voice hoarse from too much begging. “‘Yet’?” the husband repeated dangerously, and the woman bowed her head. “You don’t need to do this,” the woman pleaded to the two people standing next to the dining table.

“You know,” the first person said. “I can’t help feeling that if we didn’t come along, you’d end up killing each other. You’ve been married for what, five years now?
