Chapter Fifty-Four

July 2016

“There is still the possibility that Blake isn’t The Axeman; have you thought about that?”

Joey looks at Mary. They’re sitting in the hotel room. She is on her laptop, researching the victim’s backgrounds to see if she can find a pattern. He is watching TV, trying to get his mind off of things.

He is not good with computers like her and it makes him feel so useless. The TV is all about the Republican Convention and Joey is so tired of watching it.

“What’s that?” Mary says and finally looks up from her screen.

“What if Blake isn’t The Axeman?” he repeats.

Mary sighs. “He is. I’m sure he is. Don’t do this to me, Joe.”

He turns to look at her. “Do what?”

“Doubt. Don’t doubt. This is our only hope. I need you to believe this will work as much as I do, okay?”

Joey nods. “Okay.”

She smiles, then sips from her coffee cup. They had room service bring up breakfast so she could work on the computer.

“Any news?” Joey asks.

She shakes her head. “Nope. Not yet. Trying to find out everything I can on Lisa Klein, but so far nothing that connects her to the two other victims. I think Chloe might have better luck. She knows how to get places I can’t.”

“Can I get you anything?” Joey asks.

“You know what? I actually have this craving for chocolate. We ran out in the minibar. Maybe you could go and buy me some? No. It’s silly. I really shouldn’t. I’m getting too fat. I’ve gained so much weight since Salter disappeared it’s disgusting. I am disgusting.”

Joey hates when she talks like that about herself. He gets up. “You know what? I am kind of in the mood for a little sweet myself. It will do me good to get some fresh air too. Let me see what I can find.”

“You’re the best. Thank you,” Mary says, as he kisses her before he leaves the room.

He closes the door behind him, walks to the elevators, and punches the button. While he waits he can’t shake the eerie feeling that this hallway gives him. Knowing someone was killed right down that hallway gives him the creeps. He can’t wait to leave this hotel…or this town, for that matter.

As soon as he has his son.

We should be handing out fliers with pictures of Salter at every hotel instead of chasing some stupid Axeman. What if all this work doesn’t lead us to Blake at all? What if they just leave town again while we run after this guy, whoever he is?

But he can’t say that to Mary. She needs to cling on to this small hope right now, it’s what keeps her going, keeps her sane.

The elevator arrives and he takes it to the lobby, then walks out in the big marble hallway. The chandelier still hangs heavily under the high ceilings. Joey has never been in a hotel like this before. Standing in the hallway, surrounded by all these people wearing hats and suits, he feels quite uncomfortable.
