MONDAY Bethany tossed back the sheet, unable to sleep or relax. Blundering and the weight of the unsolved murders weighed on her. Only one thing to do: outline what the investigation had found and try to make sense of it. Three murders and no connections. Paul Javon couldn’t have committed the third murder because he was in jail. It was still possible he hired someone to kill his wife and make it look like a copycat. Was she right with her theory, and Thatcher spot-on that Scorpion had killed Ruth Caswell and Ansel Spree? Where were the answers? Snapping on a light, she read through the various reports on her computer. Once she focused on what the FBI had learned about the killings, she pulled up a blank document and typed the creeping progress. Paul Javon is in jail for the second time on assault charges. He pleaded innocent again to domestic abuse, but Carly’s battered body, broken wrist and fingers, along with her testimony, indicate otherwise. Shannon refuses to affirm her sister’s allegations against their father.
