CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

On the ride to the precinct, I call Andrew and give him the rundown.

“Holy mother of God,” he says.

“At this point, I don’t think we need to bother her. We need that data file. It could give us the best guess on who’s a target, and who might be our killer.” I shift subjects. “What happened with the fake Naomi sous chef?”

“Her name is Ann Casey. She has family in Boston. We have the Boston PD aiding us. They’re questioning the family.”

“Anything in the car?”

“I don’t know yet.”

“What do we know?” I ask.

“Basics. She’s twenty-eight and was a waitress at a hotel in New York City.”

“Did she have a background or hobbies that suggest she might be trying to sell some sort of product or invention?”

“She wanted to be an actress, so no indication of such, but I’ve asked the Boston PD to dig around and find out if there’s more to her than meets the eye. I’m going to be optimistic and say she could be our killer.”

“She’s dead, Andrew. Killed just like the others.”

“She was done. She killed the people who taunted her. Now, I’m betting the farm that she killed herself.”

“First, you have no farm to bet, or I’d take the bet, and take it from you.”

“My car then.”

“You know I should say yes just because you’re my idiot brother. But think about it. If you’re so sure of your assumptions, and they are assumptions, then why bother to pull me into the case?”

“The killer pulled you in, Lilah.”

“Exactly. Then the killer isn’t done with me yet or there was no point in that jar of blood with my name on it. The dead girl is not the killer.”

“You want this kept silent or let it go public?”

“Let it go public. I want Marilyn to think her plan is working. What hotel did Ann work at?”

“The Clementine,” he states.

“Interesting. That’s where Marilyn claims she attended Rip’s events. I’m headed to the precinct now. Coordinate with Houston and call the Clementine to confirm. Find out if there were any big events put on by Rip Vaughn. If so, we need to know who attended the event. And a guest registration list for that night. If they won’t get it for you, I’ll have Lucas hack it.”

“Hack it, Lilah?” he challenges. “This shit has to hold up in court.”

“I’m trying to save lives here, Andrew. We’ll backtrack into the documentation the right way later, and we’ll do it with more people alive than dead. Put on your big boy pants, Captain America, and be a man about it.” I hang up.

But I also decide I definitely don’t want to talk to Murphy right about now.

For now, I dial Lucas, go over what I need with him, and then say, “Do not push your luck with Kane. None of this means you have an invitation to be that stupid. Tic Tac has the final say on what goes in the official records. What he does can be admissible in court.
