Now, Dex was curious.
“With his other kills, were they religious? Because this is as religious as you can get. It’s in a church.”
She shook her head.
“No, but he has researched me. He knows I’m religious. He’s trying to play with my head, and I’m sure this is part of that. This will be about me. Somehow, he’ll make it that.”
She got closer to the skulls.
One was noticeably bigger than the other. Because she’d done this a long time, she went there.
“That one is a male, and she’s a female. That makes sense to me. I said that the next ones would likely be a couple. One of the sacraments is marriage, and I wasn’t married in a church. He’ll keep up with the clues. I think.”
As for her sacraments, she was married in a church, but what happened in Colombia stayed in Colombia to the outside world.
While she trusted both men, they weren’t telling everyone their business. Mostly, that was to protect Ethan. One of the few things he had, and were sacred to him, was their marriage.
He’d bagged the babe in four days.
“That’s the woman. See how the skull is smaller, and looks more delicate?”
They could see that.
She focused on the eyes.
“I can’t tell if they are light blue, or that’s the haze from death.”
Oh, but she knew how to find out.
Elizabeth glanced over.
“MATE, I need state IDs for Debbie Lewston and Tammy Bisset. Photo preferably.”
In front of her, two IDs appeared, and the men were curious.
“She’s over there scanning,” Quinn stated. “How is she doing both if she’s only a hologram?”
Elizabeth was to the point.
“She’s like God—Omnipresent. MATE is here with me, with Ethan, Chris, etc. She can be in multiple places at once. She’s mine, but we like to share. As for how a hologram is scanning, I have cameras in the front and back of my vest. She’s using them.”
Quinn was impressed.
“We could use some of that. Imagine how much easier our jobs would be?” he admitted.
Well, yeah.
That’s why she shared withThe Huntersand withThe Crofts.
They all had MATE, thanks to Chris.
Elizabeth began looking around by grabbing a Bible that was sitting there. She began flipping through books on the pulpit.
When she did, she saw something sticking out of it.
Carefully, she opened it, and inside the cover, there was a one-hundred-dollar bill.
Ben was staring up at her.
