Wood: A PsyCop Short

Victor Bayne might not be handy when it comes to carpentry, but if there€s one tool he does know how to wield, it€s the tiny metal doohickey that comes with ready-to-assemble furniture from SaverPlus.

The shelves aren€t for the cannery€"Vic would never manage to sneak cheap pressboard and veneer past Jacob€s watchful eyes. Jacob€s Uncle Leon, however, is nowhere near as fussy. And since he€s only got one arm, he€ll need help putting together his new treasure.

It€s no surprise to find the instructions baffling and convoluted€¦but were they always so disturbingly dirty?

This PsyCop interlude is a cute, sexy romp that will delight readers who€ve enjoyed the series through PsyCop #3, Body and Soul.

The PsyCop Series
#1: Among the Living
What good is being a psychic detective if your murder victims aren't talking?

#1.1: Thaw
A heartwarming glimpse at a cold winter's day

#2: Criss Cross
Mysterious messages from Lisa lead Vic on a wild ride.

#2.2 Many Happy Returns
It's the holiday season at SaverPlus, and customers have become incredibly demanding.

#3: Body & Soul
Three missing people. No bodies. No ghosts. At least the case gets Vic out of an awkward family dinner.

#3.1: Stroke of Midnight
For a PsyCop, missing out on festivities to process a crime scene is all in a day's (or night's) work.

#3.2: Wood
Vic might not be handy, but if there's one thing he can assemble, it's SaverPlus furniture.

#4: Secrets
Is someone watching Vic's every move, or is he imagining things? Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Vic delves into his repressed memories of Camp Hell and dredges up more than he bargained for.

#6: GhosTV
Lisa's gone missing, and Vic and Jacob head to PsyTrain for some answers.

#6.1: In the Dark
Halloween is fun...at least, it's supposed to be. Costumes, candy, trick-or-treat, even jaded Victor Bayne can get behind those sorts of antics. Too bad this year's Halloween is a grownup event.

#6.2: Memento
Seasons change, and so do fashion trends. But in this heartstring-tugging PsyCop short, what€s beneath the clothes matters most.

#7: Spook Squad
Victor has been avoiding the exorcism he owes the FPMP. Now it's time to pay up.

#0.1: Inside Out
