Chapitre 22: Chapter 22

INT. - REVEREND STERLING'S MANSION - AFTERNOON

Sterling's "from the neighborhood" lie had died the moment Gerri left the city limits, heading for the outskirts in pursuit of the reverend. She slammed her car door, hearing in absent attention the passenger front and back both close shortly after. There had been no solid, police work reason to bring Ray along, but Gerri was feeling vulnerable and wanted the girls with her. And, while she knew Ray needed to be at the morgue, investigating Roxy's body, she hadn't argued or put up any kind of fight when Gerri called. Maybe she didn't want to know-like Gerri didn't-if the fallen dancer's X-Ray would resembled Aisling's.

Gerri shoved that anomaly aside. Better to have another medical examiner have a look. If Ray was right-Gerri couldn't believe she was even considering that was the case-having another witness to the lack of vital organs might be a good thing.
