Chapter 160: Chapter 160

EXT. - THE DESERT - NIGHT

Gerri slipped through the darkness, heading for the body, watching with trepidation as Kinsey exited the van and fell to her knees next to Jordan's charred remains. Foster emerged into the light of the van's headlights, his own gun still out, though when Gerri holstered he followed suit.

"How the hell did I let you insane women convince me to watch a witness be murdered and not do a thing to stop it?" Foster appeared shaken, badly shaken as he stared at the still smoldering remains.

She licked her lips, thinking of barbeque. "Ray. Is he really dead this time?"

Gerri groaned, exhaled. And had a thought. "Wait. Why did he mention fire at all? He never once talked about drowning or falling or being buried alive. The only thing he brought up was fire."

The blonde sniffed. "Probably because he knew it would be fatal?"
