CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Beth Tony was sitting at home trying to enjoy the time with her kids. The exotic dancer case playing on her mind all day. Between the shrill screams and laughter of her children she was trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle of pieces from the files. Nothing added up. She was still convinced that this guy in fact had not committed those atrocities. Why would a money seeking drug addict murder three innocent women?

Dialing Ward’s cell number, she had a nagging question that she needed to ask him. It was the one piece that didn’t fit anywhere.

“Ward.” He answered.

“Hey, do you have a minute, I have something that I have to run by you and get your opinion?” She said.

“Shoot. Make it quick I’m in the middle of getting on the freeway. Headed out of town for a few days. Thought I would put those vacation days to use. You should do the same.” He replied.

“We have zero evidence. Even only the circumstantial evidence that puts this kid in a location with a girl that works at the same club. That could make him incredibly stupid without being guilty.” She continued, “It hit me while I was sitting here today, someone knows what we look for. What not to leave at a crime scene and how to get away with this.”

“Yes, you have a point.” He answered.

“Ward, what if it’s a cop?” She returned.

There was a hushed silence from the other end of the phone. “Ward, you there?”

“Yeah, I was running that through my head.” He told her. “I guess anything is possible, but I believe this dirt bag we have now is responsible. Look who his victim was, she would have been one of the next in line, other than Barnes.”

“We aren’t on the same wavelength with this one, partner.” She replied. “Anyway, go enjoy your vacation. I’ll see you in a couple days.”

“Later.” Was the only reply before he hit end call.

Lifting her feet into the white wicker chair next to her, she was trying to understand why he hadn’t told her, his partner of years that he was taking vacation days. It wasn’t her issue, her issue was with his attitude about the entire case. A disturbing fleeting thought ran through her mind. Without vocalizing it or even trying to rationalize it, she brushed it off. “No way, not even a consideration.” Leaving work with that phone call, she jumped into the pool with her kids. She had always enjoyed the night swims with them.

Miles away in a home so big he didn’t have to have any human contact if he chose not to, Adam felt the walls closing in around him. Going stir crazy, he made the decision to simply go see her. He didn’t have to bring her back he only wanted to spend time with her. Making his way to the garage he hoped he would make it in time before she went to bed.

Following Ward out of her parking lot, Priscilla Barnes had a wave of anxiety spread through her.
