Hard Target

26

It’d been three months since the day Recker found the body of Susan Hanley, stuffed in the trunk of her Honda Civic. Against his better judgment, he never sought revenge or retribution for the killing of Mia’s friend. Though he disagreed with the professor’s feelings, he nevertheless went along with Jones’ desires. Recker pledged that if the police hadn’t solved the murder and arrested the culprit by this time, that he’d get back on the case to do his own justice. Unfortunately for him, his own cases seemed to be never ending and he couldn’t get back to the investigation of Hanley’s murder. In the last couple of months, Recker never even had more than one day off to just relax, let alone the time he’d need to look into the Hanley case.

Though he didn’t know the Hanley woman personally, with her being a friend of Mia’s, it ate away at Recker that a killer was out there on the loose. Mia asked him constantly if he had the time to work on her friend’s death. Over the past three months, she had become increasingly frustrated over the lack of police progress on the situation. Every time she called the police to speak to the investigators, she felt like they were giving her the runaround. She felt that they were nowhere near solving the case and she was sure they were not even investigating it any more. They didn’t seem to have any leads, and she wondered if they’d just moved on to other cases that they felt were more solvable. Even though she had pestered Recker at least three times a week to enquire about Hanley’s case, he tried not to get too annoyed by it, even though it sometimes took his focus off the cases he was working on now. He understood how frustrated she’d become. He felt it too.

Sitting in the diner of Joe’s, one of their frequent meeting places, Recker could only assume that the Hanley case would be one of the first things that Mia brought up. Though she hadn’t mentioned it the day before when she asked him to meet her for lunch, he figured he was going to hear questions about it today. Since she was running a few minutes late due to traffic, she’d already texted him to let him know she’d be there soon. Sitting there by himself, though, gave Recker some time to himself to think. With all the cases he’d been working lately and how busy he was, just taking a few minutes to think was something he didn’t get much time to do.

Recker looked out the window and watched a younger couple getting into their car. For some reason; possibly the woman’s blonde hair that bore a striking resemblance to Carrie’s, his thoughts turned back to her. He thought about a few of the good times that they’d shared together. But those thoughts quickly turned darker when he thought about that fateful night back in London. He replayed the conversation he had with Agent 17 in his mind, over and over again.
