Chapter 12

“You know, I get this feeling that we’re missing something. Like we’re circling around the solution, and it’s right there in front of us, but we’re just not able to put our finger on it,” Cassandra told Danny. She was clearly frustrated.

Dinner had come and gone. When they were finished eating, Danny had brought the two Cavanaughs to their hotel.

Exhausted, Travis went to his room immediately, but when it came time for Cassandra to go in to hers, she and Danny both found that they weren’t ready to call it a night yet, despite the late hour. They caught themselves talking about and sharing theories that struck them about the elusive killer who had robbed so many young men of their lives.

They were still talking when they finally got out of Danny’s vehicle. Neither one hardly remembered taking the elevator to her room.

Cassandra stood by the door and turned toward the detective. “Would you like to come in?” she asked him. “They put in one of those cute little coffeemakers in my room. We can have coffee and brainstorm a little more.”

The New York detective glanced at his watch. “Coffee?” he questioned. “At this hour? Don’t you want to get any sleep?”

Cassandra was caught off guard by the detective’s question. “Oh, coffee won’t keep me up,” she told him. Using her keycard, she opened the door and let the detective into the room.

Danny peered over the threshold, debating coming in. “Really?” He was looking at her skeptically.

But if you’re too tired...” she said, her voice trailing off.

Danny gestured toward the opened hotel door. “Lead the way. I think I can keep my eyes opened long enough to learn something new,” he told Cassandra.

That was when she had said to him that she felt as if they were overlooking something, missing something that was right in front of them. She went on to admit that she had nothing concrete to point to, that it was more of a feeling she had. A gut feeling, something some of her uncles and cousins were partial to pointing to.

Some of them, she went on to tell the detective, even swore by that feeling. She knew it sounded fanciful, but at the same time, she would have bet anything that she was experiencing the very same feeling that her cousins and uncles had right now.

The feeling just seemed to run too deep, too strong, to be fanciful.

“Okay, what do you think we’re missing?” Danny asked her patiently.

Cassandra laughed softly. “If I knew that,” she said with emphasis, “the pieces would fall into place instead of just floating around aimlessly in my head.” With that, she tossed a rather thick folder onto her bed.

He looked at her in surprise. “You brought
