Over the next four days, Paul and Janey systematically worked their way through all the leads on their list. They’d gotten several hits tying three of the four victims together, but never all four. It was frustrating, especially when the killer could already be targeting his next victim.

The one thing they were fairly certain of, however, was that the connection revolved around the campus area. Only two of the women took classes at the college, so it was a given they frequented the area. Casey McMurphy’s husband worked on the campus, which would easily tie her to the area as well. The only unknown was the first victim. There was no record of her ever taking a class at the college, and the only positive ID they’d gotten on her in the area was from the man at the pizza shop.

The only hitch in this positive progress in their investigation was the vast area of the campus itself. If one included the immediate surrounding area regularly used by students and faculty, it was easily the size of a small town. There was also the consideration that more than ten thousand people passed through the area on any given day of the week. There were students, professors, campus staff, maintenance and lawn care workers . . . not to mention all the owners and employees of the various businesses. While Paul and Janey had narrowed down their search, they were no closer to finding their killer.

After a long twelve-hour day, Paul dropped Janey back at the station to get her car, and then headed home. He popped a frozen pizza in the oven, too tired to whip up something more elaborate, and downed two glasses of water. Over the last few days, he and his partner had clocked more miles than he cared to count. It wasn’t as if he were out of shape, but he also wasn’t twenty anymore.

The timer went off, and he took his pizza out of the oven. Slicing it into four large pieces, Paul loaded one onto a paper plate, and ambled over to the table. He quickly devoured what was in front of him, and went to grab another. Halfway through the second slice, Paul realized what he was doing. It was almost seven, which meant Chloe was due to call any minute. It also meant that shortly after that, Megan would most likely be calling as well.

With both Megan and Chloe gone, the house felt empty. The funny thing was Chloe had been doing these trips to her grandparents since she was a year old. That first year it had been hard to let her go, but being able to chat with her every night had eased his anxiety. The first couple of days were always challenging, but after that, he was fine.

This time, it was different. While he eagerly awaited his daughter’s phone call every evening, he found that wasn’t the only conversation he was anticipating. Since Megan had been gone, she made it a point to call him every night.
