Chapter 16

• Karen went through files after files about the man called Nigel. She wanted to make sure it wasn't Zack. Which she was able to separate Zack's crimes and Nigel's crimes. The man hadn't been seen in a while, but she wondered if he was the one who had shot her. He had been trained by his father, so it was a possibility. The last two days there were four murders but there wasn't any real evidence of a crime, only speculation. Even Grace's murder was made to look like a horrible accident. However, each person was connected somehow, and she wasn't going to leave the office until she did her homework. The sheriff even though he didn't want Karen involved but there were too many things that didn't add up, but they needed proof or else it would be written off like terrible incidents. the DA was found hanging, the officer who quit and his girlfriend were found with drugs, and then Megan's family. She looked over the paperwork and something was connecting them. There was large amount of money in the officer's account, but deputy King was convinced it was because the officer was dirty. She was drained she knew but she sat on her desk. She called the forensics asked them to run the test over on the victims. She noted that both officer and girlfriend had insulin in their system it was large amounts. King told her and the sheriff that they bought it thinking it was heroin but that couldn't be the case. Nigel didn't work with injections. His crimes involved bombs and high-powered rifles. Zack and Ethan were more hands on no weapon except their hands except Ethan did shoot couples but that was for robbery. She placed her fingers on her temple and then cleared her mind. The officer was paid to assist, she looked at when he left and when the two inmates escaped. It was only a week or so apart. Then she wrote down call the warden and find out if anymore guards had quit rather suddenly. The video of the DA's cell had been destroyed some kind of shortage. So how the man hung himself when he didn't have anything to begin with. Next came Megan's family. A man who had never fired a gun before or owned one somehow managed to get a street gun and killed himself. His wife who never took baths on a daily basis was found as if her husband had drowned her. Then Grace's death. Her eyes looking at pictures because she needed evidence to back up her claims otherwise her visions couldn't be used in the court of law. Zack and Ethan were silent way too silent. They were known to leave a trail of bodies wherever they went but nothing fit their natures. She looked through the case file of Ethan and there was a note that she had written that he knew how to use hide his appearances not just hair color either. Like clay and other theatrical techniques. She only had one witness and she was a four-year-old who was living with Claire because there was no one to claim her.

• It was ten in the morning, and everyone was convinced that what had happened was a series of unfortune events. Deep down she knew that there was connection. She left the department and Gregory followed, "Where are you going?"
