All were mutilated.
All were dead.
Oh, and not in a good way.
Her husband, the profiler, didn’t need to tell her thatThe Grave Robberwas hyper-fixated on her and playing some sick game.
Yeah, he was picking victims to tell a story, and she just needed to figure out what he was saying with the addition of the two skeletons.
Why just bones?
Did they all look like her?
Was it the hair color?
The eye color?
What was it about those three that piqued his attention and made them a target?
Oh, she had so many questions.
The one that she could answer was, what was the outcome going to be?
At some point, he wanted her. He was going to make her the ultimate prize. He’d break her and then end her.
Only, she couldn’t let either of those things happen. If he took one of her loved ones, she’d absolutely hand herself over to him to save them.
She’d carry the burden of this.
Not them.
A part of her wanted him to come at her, and a part didn’t want to do this.
She was tired, and with each victim that he left for her, a piece of her felt guilty that this had happened on her watch.
She’d let him get away, and now, he was reaping havoc all over the United States.
He had countless hidey-holes, and the money to make moving between body dumps possible. She was left to chase himUNTILhe decided to dig in and play with her.
And it pissed her off.
Thinking back to the messages left at the church, she hoped that heading toDamascus,and notSalem,was the right choice. It had been a toss-up.
The only reason she left DC was to be safe in the air. Up here, he couldn’t get to her.
Yeah, there was no doubt she was going to needThe Huntersto help her with this at some point. Only, using them risked outing them.
As she sat there, arms crossed, feet up on the table, she was staring at the information she had on the last three victims.
It hurt her heart.
Why?
Everything that had gone down was such a senseless loss of life. As someone who saw death and walked through it day after day, it was foul how people took life so carelessly.
So easily.
There had to be a way to find him.
