Chapter 14: Chapter 15

Sophia was on the schedule monitoring communications when Jonah's email came in.

"Hey guys." She leaned forward in her chair, her tall, lithe figure tense with excitement. "Come see this. Jonah sent pictures of the kill site in Maverick County."

The others left what they were doing. Everyone was in the big room except for Dante Martello, former Chicago homicide detective, who was spending his required daily hour on the shooting range. They watched while Sophia tapped her monitor with her finger to open the email, then brushed each photo to pop it up on the big screen. Stafford had equipped the headquarters with surface computers, the latest in technology where all you had to do was brush your finger over something to open it and display it.

As soon as the six photos appeared, Ric Garza sat down at the computer beside her, located the photos of other sites they'd stored and put them up on the big screen for comparison.
