True to her word, Cassie did not call Harris over the next week. She half-expected the detective to call her to look at Sage’s body, but several days passed with radio silence. Cassie had worn out her welcome.

The police department had bigger problems on their hands.

Ms. Campbell, the reporter who was always one step behind the police department, had confirmed with an “unidentified source” close to the investigation that the four women found over the last month had indeed all died in the same tragic manner—with their throats slashed and their hearts ripped out.

Of course, the public went wild. Every news station was talking about Savannah’s latest serial killer. While the media played guessing games as to who could be behind these gruesome executions, the police department was busy dealing with nonsensical hotline tips and the press following Harris wherever she went.

David had called Cassie halfway through the week to give her an update, but there wasn’t much to say. They hadn’t found anything new or different about the latest crime scene, and while it was confirmed that each woman’s medical records had been changed to cover up their blood type was O Negative, they were no closer to finding out who did it. The women had doctors at different hospitals so whoever was changing the records was able to hack into multiple systems across the city. David said they had their best people on the breach, but that it wasn’t going to be easy to trace if the hacker knew how to cover his tracks.

Cassie told David about seeing Jessica Tran and getting a vision of her less than an hour before her death. He had taken note of what the medical van looked like but said vans like that were issued to several different hospitals in the area and that their own employees drive them. He searched through any missing vehicle reports, but there were none for medical transport vehicles.

Cassie had begged him to tell Harris to look at parking garages around the city to see if any of them housed medical vans, but she had refused to waste manpower on what she called a wild goose chase.

So, Cassie took matters into her own hands.

Every day that week, she picked a different parking garage and spent hours going through every level looking for something that matched up with what she saw in her vision. She knew it was a long shot. The driver could’ve changed where he parked the vehicle or changed what the van looked like by swapping out decals. But going on that wild goose chase felt a lot better than doing nothing.

And every day, she was disappointed. Parking in downtown Savannah wasn’t cheap, even when she didn’t stay long, and it hurt more when she continued to come up with nothing. There were plenty of white vans, none of which were medical transport vehicles. The ones that looked similar weren’t enough of a match to warrant calling Harris or David.

When Friday night rolled around, Cassie
