the streets around ColonialLake seemed close to terror. People eyed each other warily and coldly. There was nothing even close to a welcoming smile, no southern hospitality on display anywhere.
I had left a message for Kyle to meet me fendi handbags the lake. It was surrounded by wide sidewalks and wrought-iron benches. Yesterday, it had probably appeared picture perfect and completely safe. Today, bright yellow crime-scene tape was set up near the intersection of Beaufain and Rutledge. The Charleston police had surrounded the area and were watching everybody as if the killers might return today.
I finally saw Kyle waiting under a spreading shade tree and I walked toward him. The morning was warm, but there was a breeze off the ocean that smelled of salt and fish. Kyle had on his usual attire: gray suit, white shirt and nondescript blue tie. He looked fashion handbags like the playwright and actor Sam Shepard, even more so than usual. He also looked gaunt, tired, almost as haunted as I felt. The murders were getting to him, too. Something was.
‘It must have been like this yesterday morning, though it was earlier when they struck the couple,’ I said as I came up to Kyle.’No one saw anything? No witnesses in an area like this? That’s what I read in the police briefs.’
Kyle sighed. ‘We actually have leather handbags witness who saw two men hurrying out of the park. Older man in his mid-eighties. He said he thought he saw blood on the shirts of the men, and he felt he was mistaken. Then he found the bodies.’
I quickly surveyed the scene at ColonialLake again. The sun was shining brightly and I was forced to shade my eyes. Birds were twittering in several of the trees. The park was wide open to scrutiny. ‘They were out in broad daylight. Some vampires,’ I muttered.Kyle eyed me.’You’re not starting to believe in vampires.’ ‘I believe that there are people who practice a vampire lifestyle,’ I told him.’I know some of them believe the/re vampires. Some of the role-players even sport very sharp teeth. Fangs. They can be very violent. I haven’t seen any shape changers yet. Otherwise our witness might have seen a couple of furry bats winging it out of here instead of two men. That’s supposed to be funny, Kyle. What else did our witness say about the men he saw?’
