Chapter 5- Joanna William's POV
What the hell."There's a leg and two arms in the fridge." I muttered.
"Sorry 'bout that." Jessica muttered.
"WHY WOULD YOU PUT A LEG AND TWO ARMS IN THE FRIDGE!?" I screamed.
"Experiment..." she muttered, tensing, with a relaxed face, as if she were trying to hide it.
I shook my head and burried my face into my hands, annoyed. She had something wrong with her, obviously.
"You're insane." I muttered.
"I have mental issues, but don't confuse me for being insane." She replied, turning on her side, scrolling through her phone.
"Oh? Then what are you?" I smirked, looking at her.
The redhead stopped scrolling and made a confused face, not sure how to answer. My sign of victory.
"Exac-"
"Someone who was mentally abused and denyed the ability to learn social skills, and develope trust. Don't assume victory if the opponent hasn't made a move." She interupted, resuming her scrolling.
Opponent. What does she mean? No matter; there's more important rabbit holes to destroy.
"Jess, why do you think they'd drag the body back?" I questioned.
"Several reasons. One, credit. She want to be seen. Two, she sees it as a game and they're toying with us. Three, thrill. She wants the risk factor to be higher because they're bored." Jess replied, scrolling through the phone.
Wait. She. "How do you know it's a she?" I asked.
Jess sighed, scrolled back, and showed me an image. A size 7 heel print. "6 and a half heel print, sadly the blood is much to smeared to see what the brand is." She corrected.
"Ah, allright. But what about the other partner?" I asked.
"Dont be absurd! Remember-"
She stopped, and started counting down from five with her hand, standing. As soon as she got to 0, there was a knock on the door.
"Antonio, the door is open!" She shouted, scrolling through her phone.
Lo and behold, Antonio walked in. His tan skin was now tinted with red, breathing heavily.
"What's new now?" She asked, unamused.
"Three other bodies were found similar to the previous crime scene." He said in between breaths.
"Then why waste your breath on it?" Jess asked, not looking up from her phone. She didn't seem the most phased.
"Because one is really close by." Antonio replied, leaning against the door.
"How close?" She asked, still unamused. Still scrolling through her phone.
"As in 6 minutes away." He replied, getting annoyed, gaining his breath. She snickered, and stood, grabbing her coat and looking at her watch.
"Take Joanna there, I'll catch up." She answered. Antonio gave a confused look, but nodded to me, motioning for me to follow him.
And so I did.

Thanks!
My only concern with this story is the amount of space between sentences. I understand if this is your normal style, but...
I feel like nothing is organised into paragraphs that flow one after the other.
I like stories where the time flows on, and it's shown in the paragraph spacing. Books like See More the Percy Jackson series flow really well (no pun intended).
