Chapter 22 Summary: “Finesse: Rowan”

Rowan is restrained on a chair and David has already removed a few pieces of his skin, which he is now eating and trying to force Rowan to eat, but Rowan keeps his mouth shut. David has a crush on Sloane because she stood up for him and asked Rowan to give him a job, but he plans to rape and kill her after he kills Rowan. Rowan pleads with David to spare Sloane, but it does not seem to work. Rowan regrets what he said to Sloane because he thought he was saving her from David by lying, but now it seems like David will kill her anyway, so his lies were pointless. David drinks some of Rowan’s blood mixed with wine.

Sloane appears, holding the gun that David had set down. She does not shoot David, pretending that she wants to talk instead of killing him. David shares that he befriended Thorsten because he thought teaming up with another serial killer would bring him protection. Sloane pretends that she is going to take David with her to kill Lachlan, but instead, she stabs David, killing him. Lachlan calls and says he is sending Fionn to tend to Rowan as well as a cleanup crew.
