Chapter 9

Lincoln felt horrible for the way he’d treated Mia that morning, and he hoped she understood. However, he didn’t mean to tell her he hadn’t been with a woman in two years. That was a little too personal.

But now the cat was out of the bag and she knew everything about his non-existent sex life. Well, he couldn’t help that. You can’t take words back.

On the way to the office, Lincoln saw the Malibu coming to a stop across a two-lane street from them at a traffic light. He stepped on the gas and ran the red light in hopes of catching up. The Malibu turned on two wheels and accelerated.

Lincoln gunned the car and tried to keep up. It only took a few minutes to see the older car had been modified for speed.

“He’s getting away from us,” Mia said, gripping the dashboard. “Step on it.”

“My foot is practically through the floorboard now,” he ground out, fighting the steering wheel. “That’s no regular engine in the car.”

“I can tell,” she said. “But we can’t afford to let him get away.” She picked up the radio and put out a call on their location and that they were in pursuit of the person suspected in multiple murders.

In no time, sirens filled the air and police marked and unmarked vehicles came from every direction. Still, the Malibu stayed in the lead, but Lincoln was gaining. Slowly, but he just might make it. Another hairpin turn, then down a bumpy back alley, only to merge back into oncoming traffic. Lincoln slowed and pulled over. He wasn’t going to take that kind of chance on a busy freeway.

The man was out of sight in a matter of seconds. Everyone had decided not to chase him because, any minute, school buses would be picking up children from school to return home and they never risked that.

He slammed his palm on the steering wheel. “You didn’t happen to get a look at that guy, did you?”

“No. The windows were tinted too dark I’m afraid.”

He glanced over at her. “How are we ever going to catch him? He murders little girls, steals cars, shoots you, and challenges us to a car chase. This man is crazy.”

“Let’s get back to the office. I want to check something out,” Mia said.

“What?”

“I’ve missed something, somewhere. This isn’t even close to his normal behavior.”

“How are you going to solve that?”

“I’ll go back to the beginning. I’ll have to factor in everything again and see what happens.”

“Sounds like a big job. Need help?”

She glanced over at him. “Are you going to be nicer?”

“Yes,” he promised with a smile. “Let’s grab a late lunch and get to the office. Once there, we’ll pull out all the stops. Maybe we can work at the hotel tonight.” He shrugged. “Nothing better to do.”

She gave him a sideways glance. “I’m meeting someone at Frankie’s tonight. Count me out.”

“Oh, you have a date?” He straightened his shoulders nonchalantly. This had nothing to do with him. Not his business.
