Chapter 17

Monty, Luke, and Jack stood in the compound’s conference room, once more looking at the board on the wall with the case notes Luke had projected. Moving them around on the screen, they tried to see patterns with the new information. Chad walked around the corner and into the room, seeing what the others were viewing. “What a fuckin’ mess,” he exclaimed, seeing the various lines and connections.

“We keep looking at Colonial Financial Group, but do you think it could be the sorority? Someone with a grudge? Someone trying to get a payback…even years later?” Jack pondered aloud. Like Luke, he meticulously sifted through every angle in an investigation.

“I’ve mentioned this to Angel, but she swears nothing was going on with the sorority,” Monty replied. “According to her, they were a small sorority, made up mostly of studious women, and their activities centered around community service. They didn’t have a house together to live in. It was a small chapter…only about twenty girls each year.”

Luke asked, “So no disgruntled girl who didn’t make it? No one kicked out?”

“Nope. Angel said they were so geeky, almost no one wanted to pledge with them.”

“Hey, nothing wrong with being a nerd,” Luke added, his lips turning up. He had fought against the geeky reputation as an adolescent but, once in college, found a group of other like-minded computer nerds.

Chad laughed, saying, “Yeah, well I’ll bet your intelligence didn’t keep you alone on Saturday nights in college.”

“Hell, I didn’t get my growth spurt until I was about seventeen and by then I was a freshman in college,” Luke ruefully admitted, a smirk on his face. “Before then, I was a ninety-pound, nerdy weakling.”

The others laughed, now looking at Luke’s height and lean, muscular, runners’ build, before turning back to Monty.

“Angel said having a small sorority allowed them to get to know each other and the ones that graduated with her stayed close. There were about seven of them and now three are dead within a two-month period.”

“Too much of a coincidence,” Blaise said, walking into the room, having heard the last part of Monty’s explanation. He looked at Monty and added, “She’s still at the bakery. Never left today. I stayed until Jude took over. He’s parked outside.”

Jack asked, “Does she have a clue she’s being watched?”

“I told her that she was under our protection, but I doubt she knows we have a tail on her. Honestly, most days she’s in the bakery’s kitchen by five a.m. and stays until about seven or eight at night.”

“I’ve been digging into the finances of the sorority women and not just the victims,” Luke said, eyeing Monty. “I want you to remember that includes Angel. I don’t want any misunderstandings.”

Nodding, Monty agreed. “Thanks for the reminder. Yeah, I understand she’s got to be checked as well.” He twisted to look at Luke. “You find anything pertinent?”

Luke held his gaze for a second too long. “Only that Colonial Financial is her investment brokerage as well, but you knew that.
