Hank took down
the rest of his scotch. “Ah.”
He wiped his
mouth with the back of his sleeve. “So we don’t know the identity of this guy.
But we do know where he dumps his bodies. And we know what kind of girls he
chases. But we don’t know where he kills ‘em.”
“I’m sorry I
wasn’t able to track the blood very far, lieutenant. The trail became buried
under too much snow.” Connor sat next to Hank at the bar, leaning his elbows on
the countertop.
The gruff
lieutenant waved his hand. “That’s alright, it’s a start.” Hank ordered another.
“That was already
your third drink, lieutenant. You should probably stop.”
“Yeah, yeah. Last
one.”
The bartender put
another whiskey in front of Hank.
Connor pulled out
a quarter and began rolling it over his knuckles.
Hank gulped down
a mouthful of the smoky alcohol. “What about the girl? Haley Ryan?”
“She suffered a huge
shock, but seemed to be a bit calmer when I left.”
Hank swirled his
scotch in the glass. “Mmm.”
Connor flipped
the coin in the air, then closed his fingers around it when it landed in his
palm. “She’s really pretty.” He replayed a piece of his memory when the girl
looked up at him the first time. “She had very deep green eyes.”
Hank glanced
sideways at the android and raised his eyebrows.
Connor gave him a
pointed look. “I only mean the killer will likely come after her again. The
previous victims were also attractive, Caucasian, red-headed females.”
“Right, right.”
Hank said.
