Vile: The Faces of Evil Series: Book 8 Read online

  “Do a DNA test,” Brownfield dared. “I know who I am. That’s why Eric wanted inside me. He knows we have the same blood flowing through our veins. Having me was the next best thing to having you.”

  Jess refused to believe her outrageous story. It wasn’t possible… and yet, she instinctively understood there was some aspect of truth in her words.

  “When was the last time you were contacted by Eric Spears?” Just saying his name out loud made Jess want to vomit. Whatever this woman’s story, finding and stopping Spears was all that mattered.

  “Today.”

  Shock radiated through Jess. She already knew the answer to the question she was about to ask, but she couldn’t stop the words from tumbling out. “Where did you meet with him?”

  “I was blindfolded and put into a trunk by his man. I have no clue how we got to Eric’s home, but it wasn’t that far from here.”

  “What man?” Jess went on alert. “Do you know his name? Can you give me a description of him and the house?”

  “The man wore a mask. I didn’t see anything except the inside of the house.”

  “Start at the beginning and tell me everything Spears said to you and everything you saw inside his home.” Jess felt ice cold. She gripped the bed’s side rail to ensure she stayed vertical. He was here. Close.

  “He gave me instructions and a key fob that worked on your honey’s SUV. He provided the gun he wanted me to use. After that, he told me to take off my dress.” Brownfield smiled. “He’s the best lover I ever had and that, sister, is all I got to say.”

  “That’s all he said to you?” Jess struggled for a deep breath. This woman had been with Spears… here. She had to know more than she was telling.

  Brownfield heaved a big sigh. “Okay, okay. There was just one other thing you might want to know.”

  Jess held her breath.

  “When he came,” she licked her lips as if she could still taste him, “he screamed your name.”

  Jess wanted to shake her. To twist that damaged arm until she told anything else she knew. “That doesn’t say much for you, does it, Amanda?”

  Rage colored the other woman’s cheeks. “Here’s a newsflash, Chief Harris. Eric knows your secret.”

  Jess drew back. He couldn’t possibly know…

  Brownfield laughed long and loud. “I thought that might shake things up. He’s coming for you, Jess. You’re wasting your time fighting the inevitable.”

  Jess’s cell made that little chime that notified her when she received a text message. Feeling disjointed, she swiped the screen to open it.

  Congratulations, Jess. It’s a shame Dan won’t live to see his child.

  Jess’s heart dropped. Spears knew.
