CHAPTER EIGHT

“There’s been another shooting. This time at an insurance office. Nash thinks it’s the same killer,” Taylor said in a whisper, not wanting Ben to overhear.

Sierra nearly spilled the water as her hands began to shake. She sank into the nearest dining room chair at the opposite end and set the glasses down. She opened her mouth to say something but instead snapped it closed.

Taylor came to her. “Are you okay?”

“No.” She looked up at him, her eyes dark and troubled. “Ben can’t know what has happened. He has enough to deal with.” She shook her head. “I seem to be saying that a lot.”

“Sierra, so far he’s the only one who might have seen the killer. No one at the insurance office survived.”

“How many were killed?”

“Four.”

Sierra closed her eyes and clasped her arms to her chest for a moment. When she opened her eyes, determination hardened them. “Which insurance office? I work with a lot of them.”

“Ryan Morton Insurance Brokerage.”

“That’s one I’ve worked with. I’ve dealt a lot with them. When? How? The office is in a shopping center. No one saw anything?”

“It happened early, right after the staff arrived. The killer was probably watching. The employees came in the back way, and that was how the killer got inside. He most likely followed the last person inside before the back door was secured. Same MO as the clinic and I’m reasonably certain the same gun, although the ballistics report hasn’t confirmed that yet. The front door was locked, and the blinds were pulled.”

“How were they found?”

“A friend was meeting the secretary for lunch. When she didn’t show up and she couldn’t get her on the phone, the woman went by the office. She called the police when she couldn’t get into the office nor see in. She knew the office was never locked during business hours and the blinds were always open.”

“How about security cameras?”

Taylor frowned. “He avoided them, then shot them out, same as with the clinic.”

“How about behind the shopping center?”

“There’s one camera that shows the area behind the stores and offices. It was conveniently shut down right before dawn. The security firm came out to the shopping center about ten and replaced it. No image of who sabotaged it.”

Sierra dropped her head into her hands. “Is this guy picking businesses randomly or is there a pattern?” She inhaled a deep breath, then exhaled slowly as though she were fighting to keep herself composed.

“I don’t know for sure, but I still think this is personal and both the clinic and the insurance office are tied to the man. Now we need to concentrate on the patients at the clinic who were connected with Ryan Morton’s insurance agency. Nash called Dallas, and he’s on his way to the crime scene. He’ll take pictures of it and send them to me. Right now, Ben is our best lead besides the video Nash sent me with the guy in the black stolen car.”

Sierra shot to her feet. “Let’s get to work.
