Fury ruled his veins. He couldn't think for the pain stabbing through his skull and the anger that boiled his blood. He had her. She was eating out of his hands and soon, she would have been bleeding on the edge of his knife.
Fucking cunt!
He dabbed at his forehead as he walked back around to the front of the bar, unable to help himself from returning to the scene. And there she was, that cunt detective from the TV, sitting across from the woman. He could still have her. Now, to find a way to do it ...
Sutton's cell phone rang and she thumbed it into operation, leaving the booth. "Sutton."
"Hey, it's Fusco."
"Where have you been? I've tried to call you five times!"
"I've been down here at the lab. You told me to wait for the results, remember?"
"Yeah, but you can't answer your phone?"
"I have been getting a technical explanation on DNA for the past two hours, Suttie. My brain is on overload."
Sutton laughed. "So what news do you have for me?"
"It's a match."
"Are you kidding?"
"No. The priest's semen is a match. I'm on my way to the chief's house to get the arrest warrant okayed."
Sutton digested the information while turning to stare at Darla Webb. Something wasn't right but she didn't know what it was. "You want to meet me at Judge Anderson's?"
"No, that's not necessary. I can take care of things at this end. I'll give you a call when I get things into place and we'll meet up to take him in."
"All right. Good work, Fusco."
"Thanks, Suttie. See you later."
She closed her phone and looked back over at the woman. What was it? What was it that was bothering her? Sutton shrugged it off and headed over to where Mainwaring was standing. "We've got the guy."
"What, the guy from tonight?"
"No. The killer. I'll tell you about it later. Right now, we need to get Mrs. Webb home and get out of here."
"Okay."
Webb looked up when she came over. "Did you catch him?"
"No, but we caught the killer, so you're free to go."
"You don't think he's the killer?"
"No. We have irrefutable evidence that proves he's not so you're safe."
Darla's eyes filled with tears. "Thank God."
"Detective Mainwaring will make sure that you get home safely."
"That's not necessary. I'm not going home. I'm just going to go to a hotel down the road."
