I am incredulous with his reaction and demand to know why it doesn’t bother him. He thinks it’s funny, and he thinks she’s jealous of anyone I’m sleeping with. He’s still chuckling as he reveals that he thinks the good inspector has the hots for me. That causes me to sputter indignantly for a few… Continue Reading

Plaster of Paris; chapter five, part three
“Ok, you two,” my mother says firmly. “You need to rest. Go home.” Lyle and I begin to protest through our tears. The last thing I want to do is leave Paris. “Go! You need real sleep—not an hour here and there. Take Lyle’s truck and crash at Rainbow’s. I’ll stay with Catherine. I have… Continue Reading
Plaster of Paris; chapter three, part one
Lyle and I move a bit away to an unoccupied couch. Now that there’s nothing else to do, I can’t help but notice our surroundings. There are people everywhere, with every kind of wound imaginable. One woman has an angry gash from her collarbone to her belly. A knife wound, by the indication of the… Continue Reading
Plaster of Paris; chapter two, part two
“I think that’s our job, Ms. Liang.” A woman’s voice, husky, informs me. I sigh heavily. “Hello, Inspector Robinson.” I don’t have to look up to know what I will see. A tall, slender woman with blond hair that falls to her shoulders and light gray eyes. Cheekbones to die for. A woman I’m attracted… Continue Reading
Rainbow Connection; chapter thirteen, part three
Rosie stole things from her employers, just as I surmised. Usually silver or jewelry, but once in a while, she’d have a sheaf of papers and wouldn’t tell Derek what they were. When I open my mouth to interrupt, Derek hurries on over my questions. The last time he saw her, he tried to find… Continue Reading
Rainbow Connection; chapter eleven, part one
“You look luscious, my darling.” Vashti smiles at me, her dark hair flowing around her voluptuous body. She is nude—uncovering that body I so missed. Her skin is the color of mahogany or cherry wood, or perhaps, chocolate ice cream. She has no shame at showing me her body, all of it. Her breasts are… Continue Reading
Rainbow Connection; chapter sever, part two
“May I help you?” Carol asks sharply, her face scrunching up. “This is a private meeting, you know.” “Sorry to intrude,” Inspector Robinson says, flashing her badge and not looking at all sorry. “I’m Inspector Robinson. I’m investigating the homicide of Rosalita Chavez. This is Detective Brady. She is investigating the homicide of Ashley Stevenson.” … Continue Reading
Rainbow Connection; chapter six, part two
“Gary, we are here with Carol Sayers, the facilitator of the therapy group that Ashley was mandated to attend before her death. Ms. Sayers, what can you tell us about Ashley? Was she mentally disturbed? Do the police think the group had anything to do with her death?” The anorexic blond anchorwoman with her forced… Continue Reading
Don’t Rayne On My Parade; chapter eleven, part one
“Hello?” I sing into the receiver. I’m sure it’s Vashti, so I’m doubly shocked when it’s the inspector. “Hello, Ms. Liang. Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but I have a few more questions I’d like to ask Mr. Frantz. Please put him on the line.” Her tone is cool to the point of… Continue Reading
Don’t Rayne On My Parade; chapter eight, part one
“Let’s go,” he says when he appears, forty-five minutes later. He is looking straight ahead, his lips set in a thin line. I buckle myself in as he takes off with a screech. Paris is a good driver, but when he’s angry, he becomes more aggressive. I wisely keep my mouth shut as I do… Continue Reading
