“If Chris finds out that all of the victims were women, we’re good. She isn’t. He’ll hyper focus on her.”
Well, shit.
No one liked that.
“I’ll be okay,” she admitted. “It’s damn difficult to get to me,” she reminded them. “Uriel is three inches from my back, and Ivan is scanning the area like we’re expecting Taliban to pop up. I’m good.”
Only, Ivan didn’t like it.
Not.
One.
Bit.
He kept his mouth shut since this was the nature of the beast for her. Truthfully, he was tired of bitching about it all of the time.
Ethan kept going.
“It will become a game, like it always does for a collector. He’ll study, and he’ll regroup. The game will change. The whole point will be to catch you off guard.”
Elizabeth was accustomed to this kind of a thing.
She played with crazies all the time.
“Okay, anything else, Ethan? I’m ready for this one,” she said, so he would calm down.
The muscle in his cheek was ticking, and that always meant he was worried.
Or ready to lose his shit.
“I’ll have more once the remaining DNA comes in. Let’s hope there’s a man thrown into the mix. If there is, we’ll be good. That means he isn’t as much obsessed with women, but an equal opportunity killer.”
She had a favor to ask.
Then, she told him about the man’s box of medals, and how Jonathan Miller deserved a burial.
When she was done, Ethan knew what she wanted.
“When Chris releases him, I’ll get the military to give him a full burial at Arlington. Consider it done. I’ll call my friend the general. He loves you, so he’d give that dog a full military funeral if you asked.”
She snorted.
“He’s afraid of me. That’s all.”
Oh, no doubt.
“Keep sending information. I’ll keep the profile going,” he offered. “Be careful in the cemetery. We don’t know where he is in the process. We have no clue if he is currently watching or if he has his next‘victim’with someone who was just buried.”
Well, they had the list.
Gene chimed in.
If the latter was the case, they might have an upper hand on this one.
“A woman by the name of Steph Lewis was the most recent person to be buried,” he admitted. “She’s last on the list we got, and her burial was yesterday.”
Ethan was to the point.
