Greyson was curious.

“So the bodies all have markings, and they have broken bones, but it’s not ritualistic? Then what is this person telling us?”

He was to the point.

“I don’t know yet. That is too early to tell,” Ethan admitted. “I need more, and we’ll get that with interviews and home searches. Tomorrow, I’ll have a better idea. I hope.”

Speaking of hope…

That gave Gene hope they might survive this one without getting hurt.

“Really?”

He nodded.

“You can hold me to it. I know normally I’m methodical, but really. When it comes to cases like this, I’m locked in. I’ve done quite a few profiles for other agents, and whenever this pops up, it’s never what it seems. On top of that I know that giving you everything early will only benefit us. We might have to regroup, and backtrack, but chances are we’ll stay ahead of it for once.”

And that was what they wanted.

Gene trusted his partner.

“We still have to hit that dark club,” he said. “We can’t skip a step.”

Corbin agreed there.

He’d skipped steps, and it bit him in the ass. Lesson learned.

Greyson was curious.

“Dark club? What’s that?”

Corbin pulled up the website on his laptop, and showed them all.

He’d been researching, and found it.

“Here it is.Dark Spirits. It’s the one the detective said he’d gotten a line on regarding the woman.”

It didn’t give them much, but it was all blacks, spooky images, and gave off that vibe.

“And we’re going there?” Will asked.

Gene nodded.

“Yeah, we are. We know that each man was dumped out in the ocean, and they came in on the tide. Where did the first body show up, Corbin?”

He flipped through the papers in the file, and found it. Then, he typed it into the FBI laptop, and it showed him.

“Not far from where the body we found last night was located.”

Ethan was curious.

“Check the second one. The cop.”

He did, and as he did, they waited.

Location sometimes played a big part in all of this, and they knew it.

“Got it,” Corbin said, turning the laptop around to show them. He pointed to the three places.
