On the way to his car, Peter called Doc Riddle. “Doc, can I get a full work-up on Leonardo Perez?”

“What do you need it for?”

Peter didn’t take offense at the Doc’s curt tone. He was like that with everyone. He didn’t have patience for small talk – most of the time – and that suited Peter just fine, especially today.

“I need to find out who he could be a possible organ match for,” he explained.

“Ah, I see. Good idea. I’ll get right on it. It will take a while though.”

“How long?”

“You’ll have the results first thing in the morning.”

Peter sighed in disappointment. He had hoped to make further progress on this case today but there was little he could do about it except wait. At least he had a lead to work with now.

He ended the call with the Doc and got behind the wheel of his car. He fired up the engine. Pulling away from the curb, he got to thinking about the magazine editor. He’d been right to go to her. Her insight had been very useful. His limited experience with organ trafficking would have had him going around in circles. And then, once he’d discovered the Gutierrez connection, he knew he wouldn’t have been able to let it go. He would have wasted more time barking up the wrong tree. This way, if Gutierrez was connected, he’d have concrete proof, and if the snake wasn’t involved for once, he wouldn’t be wasting any more time.

Diana Hunter was unusual. The way the woman’s mind worked was uncommonly logical and smart. It was rare that he came across someone who could process information or make connections on the fly like she did. Especially a civilian. And that made him wonder. How did she know as much as she did and how had she honed her skills? And who the hell was she, really?

As his mind turned over, he became restless, and a feeling of paranoia reared its ugly head. He was familiar with it. Hyper vigilance had become his constant companion ever since the murder of his brother, Matthew. Matthew had been found shot in the head – execution-style according to the detective on the case at the time – and the killer never found. The crime scene had been immaculate, with every trace wiped away. Even the bullet had been removed, so no ballistics match could be made. According to the police, it had been an intricately planned killing committed by someone who knew police procedure well. Since then, Peter had had a lot of trouble trusting people, especially those who seemed to know more than they should.

Yes, Diana’s mind was fast. Too fast. What if he was kidding himself and she really was involved? What if she was engaged in some elaborate game? She knew too much to be an innocent bystander. And he’d had the feeling ever since he met her that she knew a lot more than she was saying. She was hiding something. And that feeling hadn’t disappeared when they’d eaten lunch.
