Делорес Фоссен – Safety Breach (страница 9)
Kellan had anticipated that, too, and had no intention of refusing. “It might hit close to home,” Kellan warned him. “The marshals might be involved.”
“Rory?” Jack immediately asked.
“Maybe. But also Amanda Hardin. Any idea how and why she became Gemma’s handler?”
His brother paused a moment. “No. I would have done it, but I wasn’t exactly at my best.”
No, because Jack had been in love with Caroline, and she was still missing. His brother had gone a little crazy when they’d found Caroline’s blood and then no sign of the woman.
“You’re asking if I trust Amanda?” Jack concluded. “I don’t really know her that well, but I soon will. Let me see what I can find out, and I’ll get back to you.”
Kellan thanked him, and he turned, ready to face Gemma’s questions about what Jack had said regarding her handler. But it was obvious from her widened eyes that he had his own question.
“What happened?” Kellan demanded.
“Eric,” she said, a new kind of quiver in her voice. “I know where he’s been for the past year, and I think I know how to find him.”
The fear was gone now. Or at least it had been stomped down for a while and replaced by the relief of what Gemma had found in her computer search.
Eric probably hadn’t even given it a thought about saying that to her and Kellan. It’d been simply a way of starting his latest taunt. But it had opened a big, wide door for Gemma.
She caught on to Kellan’s arm, pulling him closer so she could show him what was on the laptop. For just a split second he went stiff, maybe because she’d touched him, but it was possible that she looked a little crazy. He might have thought she was losing it.
And then he saw the screen.
The records from a hospital in Mexico City.
“I started doing hospital searches for the last year. Looking for anyone who fit his description. And, yes, some hacking was involved,” she added.
With his eyes fixed on the data, Kellan waved that off, moved out of her grip and went even closer to the screen.
“I figured you’d searched the jails so I excluded those,” Gemma added and waited for Kellan to nod. “So, I decided to go for medical records. Eric obviously used an alias, but that’s him.” She pointed to the name on the file. Joe Hanson. “The SOB used my last name.”
That irritated her, but she pushed it aside, knowing that Eric would have done that with the hopes of her noticing and feeling the sting. Gemma wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction.
“Everything fits,” she went on. “The age, height, weight and the small sun tattoo on the inside of his right wrist.” The tat he’d told her that he’d gotten for his eighteenth birthday. To celebrate, he’d said. But now she wondered if it had a sinister meaning, maybe even to mark his first kill.
