The death of their former dancer had left all of them in shock, especially her. Now, every time she left for home, her eyes darted cautiously around, ever mindful of her surroundings. Though she didn't know who the murderer was, she was scared of the officers approaching her. She was terrified that the investigation might inadvertently reveal her own deeply buried secrets.

"Did you catch that, monkey? It seems I've got fans wherever I go." He then feigned tiredness, "The struggles of being adored. It's exhausting. To think I have touched so many lives." Mallory was certain that those 'touched' by Hadeon would've preferred less contact, given his skill of providing a one-way ticket to the afterlife.

"Aw, when you put it that way, it's almost tempting," Hadeon grinned like a Cheshire cat, earning himself a glare in return. "But I must warn that I come with a label: 'Danger: May cause heartache, headaches, and an insatiable desire for midnight snacks.'"

Mallory flinched at the thought and felt the intense need to roll her eyes. She retorted, "I haven't. Rest assured, I will never."

"Ah, it looks like my admirers are expanding. But even I have standards because this one sounds like an amateur's work. I suspect there's more to this than meets the eye." His tone turned thoughtful as he continued, "While I did indeed deal with the tavern keeper, my methods are more refined. After all, why settle for a straightforward approach when you can orchestrate a masterpiece? It's all about finesse."

"About what? I had no hands or fangs in the woman's death," Hadeon replied, his head tilting ever so slightly. "This time, I am as innocent as a newborn kitten. Meow." Mallory frowned as she stared at Hadeon's golden eyes. If it wasn't him, then who was it?

That was for sure, Mallory thought to herself. Hadeon was indeed one of a kind, she thought to herself. One in a million, or perhaps more accurately, once in a lifetime.
