Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 811

Axel's call came through like this,

"You've seen the news? Yeah, it's pretty much the same deal. Last night, someone broke into the precinct, took down the night shift officers, grabbed the keys, and went straight for those traffickers. Took them out right there.

The guy's bold, skilled, and his way of killing? Professional and brutal.

Some of the victims were gutted, others had their eyes gouged out, and some were even drained of blood...

The coroner said the murder weapon is almost identical to what was used on Declan. And I've seen the surveillance footage; the perp's build and the way he moves are spitting images of Keith. I'm sure it's him! But he covered his tracks well, no evidence to pin it on him directly."

Axel also raised a question,

"I checked, those traffickers had no known ties to Keith. No clue why he'd target them. But with that bloody message he left behind, the inte's buzzing, calling the killer a 'vigilante,' saying he's taking out the trash for the public good."

Tarquin, wrapped in his bathrobe, stood on his private deck, his expression unreadable.

Keith committing murder wasn't about public service; he wasn't one to play the hero!

But that message he left in blood, 'Those who harm children will pay,' was clearly a warning to child abusers.

Taking out those traffickers was about vengeance, and a form of punishment!

Keith, what are you really about?
