“IFwe find something.”

Oh, Elizabeth knew the truth.

Devon Slater had already dropped the bodies. He likely planned this all out, step-by-step. He would have known who the victims were to be months ago.

By now, they were in play, and he was on to the next stop. It was just a matter of time for Elizabeth to find them. Then, she’d figure out where he wanted her next.

This game was just beginning.

Unfortunately.

Chapter Six

Monday Morning

Six A.M.

Holy Redeemer Church

When Detective Quinton Gaines got the call from his boss, at first, he believed he was yanking his chain. There was no freaking way that Captain Dex Corbin wanted him driving from church-to-church to look for a body.

Or two.

Or three.

What in the cuckoo scavenger hunts was this nonsense?

Only, he’d been dead serious.

In fact, when Quinn had finished laughing, he found out that it wasn’t some joke. Instead, it was an actual request.

That only made him even more perplexed as to why the hell he was being asked to do this.

Then, he met the man, and saw he was quite serious about the job at hand. At the ass crack of morning, he met up with his boss, and they were handling a ‘secret mission’.

For who?

Oh, well, that was even crazier.

They were playing‘find the victim’for Elizabeth Blackhawk.

Oh, how could this go wrong?

At five in the morning, they began driving around, going to churches that weren’t Catholic, and shining lights into windows as they looked for corpses.

Already, they had been stopped by two police patrols thinking they were vandals or freaks up to no good.

That had been a fun one.

Apparently, the cops in the city were all on alert, trying to find anything that might be a serial killer.

You couldn’t make this shit up.

Normally, they were called in, not the ones doing the finding.

Now, they’d hit five churches, and there were only three left on the list that might have victims stashed there.

Still, it posed oneBIGquestion for Quinn.
