Chapter 15

“I’ve got nothing to say. Either charge me with something or I’m leaving.”

The room was similar in size and shape to the interrogation room that I’d been in recently. A two-way mirror hung on a wall over a scarred table. Gentry sat on a battered metal chair across from another vacant one.

I still wasn’t feeling anything from Gentry. Nothing. But I was hoping to change that.

I grasped the file and held it against my thighs. “You aren’t under arrest; those guys just have a few questions.”

“What, aren’t you one of them?” he asked.

I chuckled “God, no. I’m like you. Sort of,” I said, lifting my bracelet. “Only they have me tied to this tracker.”

His gaze shot to the bracelet, and something quickly crossed his face. I could feel Noah’s aggravation from the room next door. It was thick like honey, only less sweet.

“So what? Are you like on probation?”

“Hardly. They haven’t released me, but they have asked me to help find a killer.”

“Why you?” he asked.

“The girls that are dying look just like me. Do you think I’m pretty?”

“Is that a trick question?” he asked, and his gaze shot to the mirror as if looking for a response.

“No, not a trick question.” I sat down as he rose.

“Let me out of here,” he said straight to the two-way glass.

“You’re free to go,” I said and gestured to the door. “I tried to tell them that you weren’t smart enough to pull this off. I mean just look at you. You’re not very muscular, and it would have taken some strong muscles to get those dead girls in position.”

I opened my senses in his direction, hoping that’d I’d hit a nerve. Still nothing.

He sat back down. “You don’t know me…Mrs….”

“Dr. Bray, but you can call me Lucy,” I said.

“Dr. Bray, I don’t know what you’re playing at, but there’s no way I did what you think. I love women. Why would I hurt any of them?”

I propped my elbows on the table and played with the necklace around my neck. The one that the killer had a sick fascination with. “I know why I’d hurt someone, but that’s just me. I don’t know your reasoning.”

“That’s because I don’t have one. I didn’t do anything,” he argued.

I flipped the file open to find the date he’d purchased the hotel room. “You were in town, and you’re driving the same type of vehicle that’s been spotted around the crime scene. It’s not a long shot. You had means and opportunity. They just need motive.”

His lips twitched, giving me at least something. “Let me get this straight. You think that I transported whoever this dead girl is on the back of my bike and then dumped her. Dead weight wouldn’t let me maneuver turns. How do you suppose I defied the laws of gravity?”

“Another vehicle?” I offered.

I took out the picture of one of the women and laid it in front of him. “Have you seen this girl before?”

“Yes, no, maybe,” he answered. “It’s spring break, and what I tend to notice on these girls isn’t their face.
