The Murderer Wore Obsession Cologne

(Prompt word this week is BOX.)

The Uber driver pulled up to the curb and jumped out to open the door for FBI translator, Lisa Dumont.

Her white cane sweeping the sidewalk in front of her, Lisa walked to her door and let herself in, glad to be done with a long, trying day.

She had been translating for a French national, suspected of the murders of twenty young women, before being extradited that evening.

His nauseating cologne had become stronger and stronger as they sweated him in the interrogation room and the cloying odor seemed to follow her home.

Lisa kicked off her shoes and placed them neatly beside the door before padding across the oak floor toward the kitchen, stopped by an unfamiliar box blocking the door.

She reached into the box and felt a roll of duct tape on top of loose plastic, and then a hand on her shoulder as he said: "Enfin seul, Lisa, Alone at last."
