Sam called Detective Bernsen. "Roger, my gut tells me we have a bigger problem than we thought." "How's that?" "You know that Ms. Dean was one of the List Ladies, right?" "Yeah, what about it, other than giving the reporters something to howl about?" "Turns out all four of the ladies have been getting crank calls from the same guy. He asks them which one they are." "Which one?" "Yeah. Have you read the List?" "I haven't had the pleasure. My wife has quoted parts of it to me, unfortunately." "The four women are identified only as A, B, C, and D. So this guy asks them which one they are, like it's important to him. Today while they were at lunch, he called on T.J.'s cell phone and asked the usual question, then said Ms. Dean's name. No threats or anything like that, just her name." "Huh," said Roger, which meant he was thinking. "T.J.'s cell phone is in her husband's name, so most people would think he's the one who carries it. This guy not only knew the number, he knew T.J. is the one with the phone." "So he's either familiar with the ladies or he knows the husband." "Why would a husband give his wife's cell phone number to another man?" "Good point. Okay, the caller knows the ladies. Huh." "The odds are Marci Dean knew the killer. She opened her door and let him in, right?" "Right. She had a peephole in the door. She could see whoever came knocking." "The crank caller disguises his voice, speaks only in a whisper." "Meaning they might recognize his voice if he spoke normally. You think the killer and the crank caller are the same guy?" "Either that or it's a big coincidence." "Son of a bitch." Like most cops, Roger wasn't big on coincidence. "Where does this guy know all of them from? They work together or something?" "Yeah, at Hammerstead Technology, just off I-696 at South-field. He probably works there, too." "He's someone with access to their personal information. That should narrow it down." "Hammerstead develops computer technology. A lot of people there would know how to access the personnel files." "It couldn't be easy, could it?" Roger asked wearily. "My gut tells me something about the List set him off, and he's going to be coming after the other three." "Jesus. You may be right. You got their names and addresses?" "T.J. Yother, Mount Clemens, husband's name is Galan. Luna Scissum, Royal Oak, unmarried and lives alone." He gave Roger the street addresses. "Jaine Bright, the third one, is my next-door neighbor. She's single, too." "Huh. Is she your lady friend?" "Yeah." "So you're dating one of the List Ladies? Man, that takes balls." Roger caught his own joke and laughed. "You have no idea." Sam grinned, thinking of Jaine and her stubborn chin with that cute little dent in it, and her almost-dimples and sparkling blue eyes. She attacked life, rather than simply letting it happen; he'd never before met anyone so annoying and funny and sharp.
