The Roman Lee Series "Beneath Devil's Lake" .....Ned Harris....

THE ROMAN LEE SERIES
"BENEATH DEVIL'S LAKE"
 
Maybe this was some sort of feeble attempt at propaganda to fuck with him.  After all, Detective Cruz down in Clearwater attempted to manipulate the media to bait him.  The Clearwater community was made to believe that an arrest was imminent after he hung Charlotte Haskins from underneath Pier 60.  What else could they do in desperation to soothe their fears.
Ned had delivered on his promises.  He always did.  The Larkin note brought him back to reality that he needed to get rid of the Leblanc woman soon.  He smiled to himself.  Returning to his cubicle with his energy drink Ned powered on his computer.  Bryan Tanner materialized in front of him.  He was such a sneaky bastard.  Ned truly hated him because he used his first name and never gave him any tasks of great importance.  How little Tanner knew about his abilities.
“Edwin, would you please check on the server.  I need to access an email account.  The administrator screen indicated that there is a negative -500 error.  It seemed very odd.”
“You want an internal ticket created also?”
“No, just find out what in the hell is going on with it.  This is the last thing this department needs right now.”
“Sure, I’ll take care of it.”
He watched as Tanner walked back to his office.  He had a very odd gait that made him appear to limp.  After seeing Tanner’s door close he left for the server room.
Between the meaningless tasks Ned was allocated he often fantasized about the way he would kill Bryan Tanner.  He had been to Bryan’s home for an employee cookout.  The basement had so much to offer.  A large floor drain in the laundry room.  It took him back in the depths of his mind. His second murder.
