those girls had lived in, the horrific existence they’d endured. The beatings, the intimidation. The brutal abuse they’d suffered as the sexual outlet for hundreds of perverted men. They’d been tortured into compliance, shot up with drugs and locked in cages, their hopes and spirits crushed. And knowing that her baby sister had been subjected to such vile acts had to be hard to bear.
“Maybe you’re right. Maybe I should go see the shrink,” Cass admitted.
Lara walked back into the office and took her seat. “I’m not trying to tell you what to do. Everyone’s different. It helped me to talk to him, but you have to do what’s best for you.”
“I will.”
Remembering Victoria’s advice, she cleared her throat. “So what are you working on?”
Cass motioned toward her desk. “I finished my statement for Victoria and now I’m going through the military sniper lists.”
“Any progress?”
“Not really. We’ve been tracking the people down, having our local offices verify their whereabouts for the past few weeks. So far, everyone has checked out.”
“I guess it was a long shot.” She forced a smile. “No pun intended.”
“Yeah.”
“So where’s Xander? I haven’t seen him yet today.”
“He’s helping interview potential witnesses around my apartment in case someone saw something. He’ll be back any minute now.”
“Have you remembered anything else about the attack?”
“No, nothing. It happened too fast.”
Lara sighed. She had to hand it to Moretti’s people. They excelled at covering their tracks. “Well, I’d better get back to work.”
Cass nodded, but her mind was clearly somewhere else. Lara rose again and started out the door. But then she hesitated and glanced back. Cass was gazing into space.
“Cass?”
She looked up.
“We are going to get this guy.”
“You think so?”
“Absolutely. I promise.” And that was one vow she wouldn’t renege on, no matter what the cost.
