‘“Circumventing the personality issue”?’ Hunter said.

‘I think what he means here is that on this occasion the voices could be deceived.’

‘Bingo,’ Hunter agreed, his eyes widening as he nodded. ‘By saying that “there’s no real way in which the voices could discern her personality” he’s alluding to the fact that, somehow, the voices wouldn’t know any better if the victim was an introvert or not, therefore, they could be deceived.’ Hunter paused Garcia with a hand gesture. ‘Now, how do you deceive something that’s a product – a manifestation – of your own thoughts . . . your own subconscious?’

A new penny dropped.

‘You can’t,’ Garcia replied.

‘Exactly,’ Hunter confirmed. ‘It’s your own brain. It knows everything you know.’

Garcia took a step back from Hunter’s desk and pinched his bottom lip with his thumb and forefinger. ‘So what is the conclusion that we can draw from all this? If any.’

Hunter slumped back on his chair, as if he’d just gone ten rounds with a heavyweight champion.

‘I’m not one hundred percent sure,’ he finally replied. ‘But we’re only on entry number three out of sixteen. It’s too early to start concluding anything just yet. But from a purely psychological point of view, this puts a lot of doubt on this killer suffering from schizophrenia.’

Garcia feared exactly that.

‘So how the hell is he hearing voices?’ he asked.

Hunter breathed out. ‘What if these voices have absolutely nothing to do with a mental illness?’

‘I don’t get it.’

‘What if these are real voices – real people – telling him what to do?’

Garcia’s head jerked back. ‘What . . .? That’s crazy. How . . .? Who would those people be?’

Hunter shrugged. ‘I don’t know . . . Look, maybe I’m over-thinking things, because this makes very little sense right now.’ He pointed at his screen. ‘I guess that the best thing to do is to carry on . . .’

Garcia agreed and went back to his desk.

Hunter still had no idea of what he was searching for and, if anything, the more he read, the more questions he had.

If that were their request, they would have to go away again and come back with something else. I WILL NOT RAPE ANYONE. Needless to say that the voices weren’t happy, but that’s not who I am. I’ve never raped anyone. Despite all I’ve seen. Despite all I’ve been through. I’ve never raped anyone – BFOA or otherwise. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to start now.
