Her father’s demise.
It painted a pretty picture of the equally pretty woman. What he knew was she was super smart. He knew she was damn good at languages and spoke many.
He was tickled pink to go up against an Ivy League scholar, so he could prove himself smarter.
It told him all he needed to know about her propensity to fight for justice and to always do the right thing.
How predictable.
Well, it also told him how she’d react to just about everything he threw at her.
Oh, and he had plenty to throw at her. In a matter of a couple of days, he’d have her lock, stock, and barrel. All it would take was getting leverage over her.
That was why he was in Utah.
He had to be close to her family in order to make her pay. It was only a matter of grabbing one person, and it would all fall into place.
Who would it be?
It didn’t matter.
All he needed was for her to make one mistake, and the game would be his.
Truthfully, Devon was highly annoyed that she was playing so very well. All of her children were hidden, and likely being moved around just out of his control.
Honestly, hurting children wasn’t his thing.
Oh, don’t get him wrong…
He’d do it, but he wouldn’t enjoy it like he would taking her apart.
He wanted one of her husbands, but as of yet, they’d not been out in the open. When they came out, so would he.
So, for now, it was a waiting game.
Luckily, he’d set the scene in DC, and it would take another day or two for the remains to be discovered and for her to use the clues to find him.
So, he had time.
At that moment, he was considering the next three victims, and where he wanted to leave them.
As he was strolling around his hidey-hole, a place he’d had for a very long time under a slew of names that were not connected to him, he poured himself some coffee.
There was no doubt he was safe.
Out of sight.
Out of mind.
If this place was burned, he had a few others that they wouldn’t think to look for elsewhere. When you played a game, and prepared as long as he had, then, you took precautions.
Only hire the best, when you wanted to be the best.
That was his motto.
Would they find him here?
Likely not.
