"So you talked to her?" Harry asked focusing his gaze at the Assistant District Attorney's brown eyes. He found it difficult to keep his eyes from wandering when working with Kacie.
"We're going to need to let her go," she said crossing her legs.
"She seemed cooperative," he replied, sitting down across the table.
"Yes, I thought we had something there. Everything was just too coincidental. Each victim was a patient of hers, each claimed rape while the men claim innocence... actually saying it was the woman who forcefully initiated the sex."
"You have reason to doubt the women's account?"
"It is odd, they claim to only remember waking up with a man after sex," she replied fingering her long, dark hair.
"Rohypnol?"
"We ran tox tests and they were clean. A few had indication of alcohol but not enough to cause this."
"So..."
"Their doctor was the link. She does use hypnosis in her sessions."
"You think..."
"I thought, but now I'm not so sure. She showed nothing but genuine concern for her patients and for most of them the incidents occurred over a week after their most recent session."
"How long can the hypnosis last?"
"Well it's not the hypnosis, it's more from the suggestion. I'm not an expert, but it seems too long. Besides it's too much like a cheap crime novel."
"Okay I'll put the doctor's file away and lean a bit harder on the guys. Hey, you got the video on?"
"Yeah I wanted to have it to look over again just in case I missed something. She consented."
"No lawyer?"
A strange look came over her face as she walked over to Harry's side of the table. Sitting down she let her leg brush against his as she answered, "No, she was okay alone."
Harry inched away from her but she grabbed his hand and placed it on her thigh. Her grip tightened as he tried to move it away.
