CHAPTER TEN

WE WERE SITTING HAVING Regina‟s homemade meatloaf when Detective Hefron and Detective Lange walked into the room followed by another man. I watched Sam sit up in his bed and swing his legs over the side. He would have gotten up but the man walked between the two detectives, and put up his hand to stop him. When he was close enough, he extended his hand for Sam to take.

“Wow,” Sam chuckled, clasping the hand tight and gripping the other man‟s shoulder. “Big gun.”

The other man nodded, the edge of his lip curling just slightly as he looked at him. “Enough‟s enough Sam we are looking at a serial killed after all.” He nodded before the man let go and turned to the rest of us. His pale blue eyes roamed over us all before they settled on me.

“Jory Harcourt.”

“Yeah.”

He squinted at me. “Why‟re you wearing a coat inside?”

“‟Cause I‟m cold,” I answered for the reason for my pea coat. It seemed like I was freezing all the time. Ever since Caleb and I had found Joyce Fain dead, I couldn‟t get warm enough. Aja said that it was psychological and not physiological but I had dismissed her rationale. And yes, usually Sam was home to hold me and sleep with me and imprint on my mind and body so that everything else disappeared…but I was sure I was really, actually cold. Neither she nor Dane was buying it however.

“Hospitals are always cold,” the man assured me.

“Who are you?” I asked irritably.

He walked over to me and extended his hand as I stood up. “Special Agent Zane Calhoun from the field office in Dallas…pleasure to meet you.”

“Special Agent?”

He moved his badge from where it had fallen behind his tie. The letters were big and visible.

“FBI. We‟re helping the Chicago PD with the investigation as you know and I‟ve been called in from Dallas since that‟s Mr. Reid‟s hometown. We need to get him into custody as soon as possible before he hurts anyone else or endangers either you or your brother or Detective Kage again.”

“But how can you be sure that––”

“That what? That Mr. Reid is a murderer?”

“Yes,” Dane answered him.

He turned and looked at Dane. “Dane Harcourt?”

“Yes.”

He walked around the table and shook Dane‟s hand before taking his time to introduce himself to first Aja and then Sam‟s parents. When his eyes flicked back to Dane‟s I saw him smile. “I can tell you Mr. Harcourt that we have seized hundreds of photographs of you from Mr. Reid‟s home. His mother has verified that he knew who you were almost six months before he approached Mr.

Harcourt at--”

“It‟s gonna get confusing,” I said cut him off even though he wasn‟t talking to me. “Just call me Jory.”

His eyes were back on mine and I saw how he was studying me. “All right then, Jory it is.”

“So you‟re saying Caleb was around for months before he let either Jory or I know he was,” Dane said to clarify Agent Calhoun‟s earlier statement.
