Jim paces the room, furious.
"Shan, where the hell did you get that?"
"A girl I met, at a club a few weeks ago. We have been seeing each other regularly. Sometimes things get a little β kinky."
"Shan, I am going to need to know who this woman is and how you contact her."
"Ok, her name is Jade and all I have is a cell number."
Shan is sitting on the floor against the couch the button down shirt is wrapped around her, as her body shakes. "What the hell is going on?"
Before Jim can answer, Ieasha comes busting into the room, "We have another one."
Jim kisses Shan on the head and looks into her eyes, "Honey, everything will be fine. I need you to go get that number, ok?"
Shan nods, gets up and leaves the room.
"Well, we actually have two. A Bambi and Summer Glenn."
Jim suddenly feels weak.
"And I take it you knew them?"
"Where?"
"Bodies were found at the Landing Strip."
"Ok, I am going. Watch Shan for me. I am also gonna send Smith and Clausen from the station house to sit and watch. Maybe this Jade person will come to us."
Ieasha leans in and the two exchange a kiss.
Shan returns to the living room. "I tried to call her, but the number is dead now."
"No worries love. I am going to run into work. I will leave you in good hands, I am sure."
Jim leaves. Shan takes up her position on the floor, Ieasha sitting next to her.
"What's going on? Jim has never been so mysterious."
Ieasha sits next to her, putting her arm around Shan's shoulders.
"There have been four murders, all women that Jim has known. All of them marked. Just like you are."
Shan runs to the kitchen, sobbing. She grabs the neck of the red wine and begins to drink, wine leaking down her chin.
Ieasha wraps her arms around her waist, "calm down baby. I am here. We know about the marking. She can't get to you. I am here."
