Body Count (2005)
“We sit, waiting. Rivers arrives and hovers near the door.
Pike starts. “We’re setting up a task force.”
This is a turnaround from Rivers’s stance only three hours ago. Did Pike initiate or did Rivers push? Or maybe it’s coming from higher than Pike. For an FBI agent to be kidnapped or abducted is bad PR. We’re supposed to be invincible.
I’m keen to get the task force moving in the right direction. “It’s the D.C. Slasher.” Most of us have come to this conclusion anyway.
“Why do you say that, And...erson?” Pike asks.
“It fits the profile. The killer’s purposefully moved here to be under the FBI’s nose. Under our noses.” I force evenness in my voice. “He likes the thrill, the challenge, and what better way to step up the chase than by nabbing an FBI agent—and the one profiling him.” I was wrong about this guy before. I didn’t think Sam was in serious danger. I certainly didn’t think she could be the next victim. Surely she would have noticed someone stalking her.MoreLess
