Fifteen minutes later, they were seated in Declan’s office. The TV monitor hanging on the wall was playing the recording from the hotel of the night Amanda died.

“Here you are.” Declan pointed at the screen.

Sky paced behind where Luke was sitting. She stopped and watched as Luke banged on the door. “Where’s the sound?”

“There isn’t any,” Declan answered without looking at her.

A few seconds later, Luke was leaving, and a couple minutes passed until Amanda’s door opened.

Declan paused the video. “This is the guy. Keep watching. His hat is pulled to cover his face, not giving us a good shot on any of the cameras.”

Luke stood as Declan pressed play again, and they watched as the man hurried down the hall and disappeared into the stairwell.

“Can you replay that?”

“Sure.” Declan started the video over again and played it in slow motion.

He pointed to the screen as the man opened the stairwell door. “Stop.”

Declan stopped the video.

“When he opens the door, it raises his jacket. You can see his gun.”

“If he had a gun, why didn’t he just shoot her? Why the horrible death?” Skylar asked.

“If I was profiling, it suggests that the kill wasn’t random. He wanted her to suffer. We just have to figure out why.” He glanced at Luke. “Do you know anyone that resembles him?”

“Just from his body build?” He rested his elbow on the arm crossed over his chest and stroked his five o’clock shadow. “No. The only person that came with me is my assistant, Justin Healy, and he’s not even remotely that tall or big. What about a local or what if he’s someone that has it in for Amanda?”

Skylar stepped closer to the screen and pointed to the paused picture. She glanced back at them while jabbing the picture. “His energy lines.” She turned back to the screen and ran her fingers above the man. “They’re black. I thought it was just the lighting in the hallway when he opened the door, but I should be able to see the light.” She turned to them. “Do you guys see the light?”

“Yep, we see the light,” Declan answered, crossing his arms over his chest. “You don’t?”

“No, which means it’s his energy I’m seeing.” A smile split her lips as she spoke. “I should be able to identify him.”

“Assuming he’s the only one with black energy,” Declan added.

“I’ve never seen another person with it on the island, Dec. Regardless of his face, I’ll know him.”

“Wait.” Luke held up his hand. “From what I understand about your ability, the colors can lighten or darken depending on emotional state.”

“For the most part,” she answered. “Sometimes they can entwine with another person’s when they’ve been together for a long time.”

“Okay…so what if his color was black because he’d just killed her.”

“Then, if he’s not in the killing mood, the spectrum would be the same. My guess is he’s medium to dark gray, depending on his mood, and black when he’s furious.”

“And have you seen anyone on the island with grey?”

She took the seat next to Luke and thought back to the restaurant incident.
