Then I’ll worry about the flash drive and pay attention to a woman who is playing a game for some reason I don’t yet know.
A document comes through, but not from the program I’m using to scroll the records.
P1C@SS0M0L3: I think you missed something. You should really try to be more careful.
Brows pulling together, I open the document, my eyes rounding with surprise.
Through all the phone records, I’d been looking for a connection between the governor and our fathers. But what Hannibal just sent me is a clue that leads in another direction entirely.
My pulse picks up so much that I can feel it in my temple. Given what she found, Hannibal knows a hell of a lot more than what was given to her on the flash drive.
L364CYWH1Z: How did you know to look for this? Who are you?
P1C@SS0M0L3: I’m just a girl who knows a boy but wonders if he’ll ever be able to find me.
She leaves a rose emoji with her next message.
P1C@SS0M0L3: I prefer them in red, just so you know. Catch you later, Taylor.
Relaxing against the couch, I stare at my screen and the names listed on the document she sent me.
I pull my glasses from my face, set them down on the couch next to me, then pick up the phone to call Tanner.
“What did you find?” he asks, his voice tense.
“Have you made it to Damon yet?”
“We’re about to walk in now. Why?”
I shake my head and smile while still staring at a document I cannot believe Hannibal found.
“Be careful what you say in there.”
“Okay. Why is that?”
She’s a fucking genius.
I think I’m already in love with her.
“Because I have a phone record here that shows a list of calls over the past few months between Detective Nichols and Jerry Thornton.”
“Son of a bitch,” Tanner snaps as he hangs up the call.
Goodbye to you too, I think.
Staring at the screen for a few moments longer, I close the laptop then lean my head against the wall behind me.
Fuck just catching this woman later.
This game with Hannibal is just beginning, and I plan on cornering her when she least expects it.
To Be Continued…
