Chapitre 184: Chapter 184

INT. - GERRI'S CAR to DR. PANTHER'S OFFICE - AFTERNOON

Gerri checked the text from Emily and grinned.

Found Bruts laptop in air vent at apartment. No record of bosses, but evidence of communication.

The second text was expected. Bruts just found dead in his cell.

Gerri shoved the phone into her pocket without answering. Two women dead and the traitor either murdered or encouraged to suicide. Not an ideal ending, but at least the case was solved. To a point. Emily would likely pursue the employers, though Gerri had no doubt they would cover their tracks well enough she'd never find them. She might even help if the ADA asked.

As far as Gerri's detective instincts were concerned, the case was solved. Bruts's laptop confirmed the orders to kill the two women. Though the emails, sent from an untraceable cellphone, never indicated why they needed to die. A frustrating end to a frustrating case, but an ending, none the less. And she had other things to deal with.
