It had been dying for quite some time.

Soiled itself but still silently weeping in its own excrement.

Face soiled with snot and tears.

The killer had left the mother on the floor. Her crumbled form in a pool of dark crimson.

Sticky. Tastes two days old.

Moving back to the small cold livingroom/kitchen he checks the father again.

He died easy. One single thrust to the back of the neck. Large blade.

Professional, impersonal, devoid of conviction.

Still why this family? Why kill the father and mother just to leave the child alive? 

To kill a lawman who slighted it? Message? Code of ethics? Moral compass? 

This is interesting. I will find this person and ask it. My kills are rarely stolen.

I'll have to ask around the usual channels. And kill for the name.

But first I will find a nursery for the orphaned boy.
