Justus was correct, that working with his brother would allow her to find Angel and make sure she got to Sandy before it was too late. Her only consolation was that Angel’s pattern was to keep his victims alive for quite a while, giving them the time they would need to find her.
    “Okay, download complete.” Drago got up from his chair and indicated she should sit. “Sign in to the chat room where you found Angel. And bring up whatever it is you saved.”
    Nodding, she brushed him as they changed places, but she ignored the awareness that flared through her and sat to do what he asked. She had to concentrate. Had to do the job she should have finished before Angel had finished Leanne Grant. It couldn’t happen again. Couldn’t happen to Sandy.
    Concentrate!
    Focusing her attention on the laptop, she brought up her saved conversations with Angel, and then entered the chat room where she’d finally found him. She quickly looked at the list of participants.
    “He’s not here.” Not that she’d expected him to be. “His avatar is a black angel holding a sword.”
    “Leave it up. We can check again. I’d like to look at those saved conversations, get a bead on this guy. So you have no idea of what he looks like?”
    “The kid working the coffee stand where he met Sandy said he had longish curly blond hair, that he was tall and well built. Footage we got from the camera at the parking lot door confirmed that. We got a look at it last night. Unfortunately, he must have known about the camera, because he kept his head down and turned away from it so basically all we got was his size and hair color.” She stood and changed places again, this time careful not to make physical contact. “As far as his profile goes, he’s laid back, waits until a woman shows interest in him. Then waits some more.” He’d made her wait and had chosen to pursue her when she hadn’t been here. “Waits to kill them, too, thankfully.”
    “Was the desktop your only computer?”
    “I have an old laptop I don’t use anymore. I’m assuming it still works.”
    “Can you get it? We can download everything again.”
    “Sure.” About to ask why they needed two computers, she figured he simply didn’t want to leave his at her place, and she would need another to keep an eye on the chat room. “I’ll get it.”
    She headed for her bedroom where she’d left it. Before buying a tablet, she’d used the small computer while propped up in bed. About the most interesting thing that had gone on in that room for quite some time. Not that she hadn’t been with anyone else since that weekend with Drago. She’d tried dating a few men if for no other reason than to forget him, but she hadn’t felt that primal attraction, hadn’t been able to get enough of that something indescribable with anyone but him. All it took was a couple of disappointing nights to make her choose to wait until she met a man who made her feel something stronger. Something irresistible. So she’d shut down. If her work hadn’t been her life before, it was now.
    Feeling the vibration in her pocket, she pulled out her cell and saw an incoming call from her mother. Concerned about her daughter working such a dangerous case, Mom had been calling a lot lately. Camille had been avoiding her. No way did she want her parents to know the trouble she was in. Mom wasn’t about to stop, so she’d better answer the call and put her mother’s nerves to rest.
    “Hey, Mom.”
    “Camille, honey, why haven’t you returned my calls the last few days? We’ve been worried about you.”
    What else was new? “Sorry, Mom. I’ve just been so busy with work, I haven’t had a minute to myself.” Which was true.
    “Is it that same case? The young women being killed?”
    “Yep, the same one.”
    “Can’t you let someone else take this one?”
    “Mom, we’ve talked about this before. It’s my job. I don’t get to pick and choose what I want or don’t want to do.” Camille kept
