Chapter 11

Alina opened her eyes to realize she must’ve dozed off. She rolled over to see Logan still sitting beside her, reading the files on the computer. She yawned, sat up and slipped off the bed.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

She smiled. “I’m fine. I hadn’t even realized I was so tired.”

Harrison spoke from behind her. “You’ll probably do that for a few days. Shock and trauma sneak up on you. Your body needs to recover, and it’ll take some time.”

“And thanks to you guys, I have that,” she added seriously. She made her way to the bathroom, and after using the facilities, washed her hands and took a careful look at her face. She still had scratches and bruises, blooming deep yellows and greens now.

Her phone rang on the night table, and she returned to the bedroom to answer it. It was her boss. “Hi, Selena.” She smiled.

“How are you doing?” her boss asked. “I couldn’t sleep thinking about you. I can’t imagine what you’re going through still. Are you back home? Are you sure you shouldn’t be in the hospital still?”

“No, I don’t belong in the hospital,” she assured Selena. “But I have to admit I’m not adjusting as well as I’d hoped.”

“If you need more time off, say so. You certainly have cause,” Selena said. “Now when anyone misses work, I’m immediately worried. Take Tracy Evans. She didn’t show up today. I’m sure she’s fine. But knowing what happened to you, well, it’s making me a bit paranoid.”

“I’m sure she’s not feeling well. She calls off almost once a month, remember?”

Selena sounded better by the end of the call.

When Alina put her phone away, she turned, Logan still reading files. “Did you guys find anything interesting in the women’s files?”

Logan looked up. “Some basic similarities. Size and age, body type—the fact that ten of the women were taken either going to or coming from work helps, but not in any big way. They were likely stalked, picked out. The men probably tried to get close to the women, and, depending on the women’s reactions, the kidnappers would know whether they would take the women from home or work. Every three to four months one goes missing.”

Alina shook her head. “So, because you saved me, it means they’re out looking for another one right now?”

“It’s quite possible. No way to know who else would be targeted. Colin’s friends could have any number of scouts out looking for potential victims.”

Harrison spoke from the far side. “And yet they’d keep the ring fairly small, tight-knit, and very well paid. Too many men means trouble. And the ringleaders will have proof of the girls they’ve kidnapped, in case anyone decides they want out. A job like this, there is no quitting. Which brings us around to Joe Lingam’s file. Levi talked to Easterly. They have no leads. They believe it was a drug deal gone bad.”

She nodded. “I presume the police are forming a task force, now that they know these cases are all connected.
