Hollis waited until she was back in her motel room that evening to report in-and there was a lot to report, even if much of it was unhelpful at best and speculation at worst.

Par for the course when it came to the SCU, Hollis thought.

"If Dani has established a connection," she said to her boss, using the cell's speaker capability to talk to Bishop while she dug through her suitcase to find something decent to wear for pizza and brainstorming at Paris's house, "it could help us-or be dangerous as hell for her. Or both."

"It could be worse if he's the one who established the connection between them."

"No kidding. Any way for us to determine that? I mean, before it blows up in our faces?"

"We're in unknown territory here, Hollis."

"Are we ever in anything else?" She sighed. "Just tell me. What can I try?"

"If Dani's willing, you can try a dream walk. Between you, you and Paris might be able to sense another connection."

"What if we wind up in her vision dream?"

"Be very careful."

Hollis sighed again. "Anybody ever tell you that you can be frustrating as hell, boss? Never mind-rhetorical question."

"We need to know if Dani does have a psychic connection with the killer, Hollis."

"Yes, of course we do. And it would be nice to know who my blond ghost was. It was so late by the time Jordan and I got back to the station that I didn't have a chance to talk about that with the others. Though Jordan checked, and there've been no more missing women reported. So there's not much to talk about."

"She said to look for her in the water?"

"Yeah. Her. Referring to somebody else, or at least that's how it sounded. But she came out of the pool. Which has a clogged drain, I'm sorry to say."

"I doubt that was literal, Hollis. That the remains of whoever she meant will be found in the pool."

"Well, Jordan was spooked enough that I'll bet he's there at dawn with the pool people-and the forensics unit. So we'll know soon enough what's in that drain."

" Considering what was at the crime scene, I'd expect more of the same."

"Yeah. Dammit." Hollis brooded, then said, "All these obvious changes in his M.O. Either he's getting sloppy or… or what?"

"Or something's happened, either to him or in his life. It could be the move from Boston. It could be something else. But whatever it is, it's having a profound effect on him and could influence both whom he kills and how he kills from this point on."

"Hmm. What do you know that you aren't telling me?"

Bishop didn't bother to deny it. "Nothing that could help you in the investigation."

"Uh-huh. You do realize that secrecy of yours is going to come back and bite you on the ass one of these days?"

"Maybe. But not today."

Hollis was tempted to say that today was almost over and what about tomorrow, but she didn't push it-even while she was wryly amused by her own trust in him.
