ZADIE
“The Saint’s Slasher strikes again! Woman found dead near
Saint’s Crossing Bridge!” the paperboy’s voice rings out from across the
street.
The words stop me in my tracks as I exit Bramble and Thorne, causing
my sister to collide with me.
“Oh, demons and saints, Zadie,” Sabrina huffs as she guides me off to
the side to pass and join her friend. “You really ought to pay better attention
to your surroundings.”
The bell on the haberdashery door jingles as it clicks shut. Other
shoppers continue with their business, either chatting away with their
companions or weaving between others and crossing the cobbled street… as
if the death of another woman is not worthy of their time—the ninth victim
of the grisly murders that started five months ago.
“They found another woman,” Jane says in a not-so-hushed whisper as
she covers her mouth with a gloved hand. “I thought the authorities had the
man responsible in custody.”
Sabrina presses her lips into a thin line. “Clearly, they arrested the
wrong one.”
Or there’s more than one person responsible, I think to myself. With as
little as the authorities have learned, there are still countless possibilities.
The box in my hands starts to crinkle from my increasingly tight grip. I
force myself to take a deep breath and loosen my hold. I’m tempted to run
across the street to purchase the paper.
“We should get going, Father will be worried if we’re not back in time
for tea,” Sabrina says pointedly. “I know what you’re thinking, Zadie—
don’t you dare bring that into our home, you know how he feels about such
things.”
The three of us make our way down the street, taking the road that leads
to our manner on the Eastern side of Briar Field Park. I trail behind them.
Jane’s thick ringlets bounce as she chats about their new hats and the
dresses they are having made.
Sabrina and I look alike, but other than our sharp but delicate features,
warm complexion, and sable hair of our mother, we have little in common.
Even with Jane’s fair looks, anyone who has ever met the three of us has
mentioned, at some point or another, they could swear the two of them were
the real sisters.
Without turning to look back, I can sense the look my sister’s
disapproval. She doesn’t like that I want to know the details about the
murders. I don’t enjoy the gruesome details any more than she does but
staying ignorant of what is happening around us is dangerous.
And if I hadn’t requested to stop at the haberdashery, we wouldn’t have
heard of the latest one. I’d only wanted to pick up a cravat for Father’s
birthday next month.
