Chapter 31            Bianca walked back into her home shop. It was unusually creepy now that she was alone. Her fellow workers had gone home for the day. She tried to call Janet again, but still had no answer as she began to worry. As she walked upstairs from closing up the shop to her home, a funny feeling begin to stir in her belly.

As he researched Elijah Jackson, he couldn’t help but question his motives.            There was nothing that said he was the Strangler or anything that tied him to anything except the tape.

Chapter 39            Janet paced the conference room back and forward as lawyer Ross looked over Dan’s case. There was nothing he could do to get him out of his situation.

He and Dan was also in need of care as he had bruises and battle scars.            “What can we do to get him out of there to bide us time? Can we transfer him?” Janet asked, ne
