Genre: Crime Mystery, Thriller
I Can Kill, and You Can't Catch Me...
These were the last words The Carnations Killer said to FBI Special Agent
Aidan O'Reilly ten years ago before he went into hiding. He has
tortured and murdered fifty women since then and managed to elude
capture. Now, he's returned once again, and his new hunting ground is
Augusta, GA.
O'Reilly teams up with Shaun Henderson, the special agent in charge of the
Augusta Resident Agency, to bring this ruthless killer to justice
once and for all. But as each second ticks by, tensions rise and
O'Reilly finds himself in a race against time before the killer slips
away again.
“A gripping new thriller by Angela Kay that pits FBI Special Agent Aidan
O’Reilly against the Carnations Killer, a serial killer who enjoys
playing Cat and Mouse with this formidable agent.” -- Dana

spent years to overcome. Will he be able to move past his own demons
and untangle the web of lies before it's too late?

Chapter 10
“We don’t have the
time to go searching for a missing person that hasn’t yet been reported
missing.”
Captain Stewart had listened intently to DeLong’s story before
shaking his head in annoyance.
“But, sir,” DeLong protested, “the kids reported him at the school
and—”
Though he already knew the answer, Stewart asked, “When you
investigated, did you see Grimes at the school? Or any evidence that
corroborated these children’s claims?”
“No,” DeLong admitted.
“I’m sorry, Lieutenant, but I’m not going to allow you to run
around town, searching for a man that more than likely got out of Dodge. I
don’t appreciate the fact that a member of my team," Stewart jabbed a
thumb toward his chest, "entered another person’s home without permission.
And convinced a civilian to do the same.” The captain glared from DeLong to
Calhoun and back again.
“Captain Stewart,” Calhoun put in. He had been seated quietly,
listening as the lieutenant recounted once again what had happened the day
before. Now he rose to put in his two cents. “I believe that something happened
to Grimes. I went to his house on my own accord. Everything Jim just told you,
I stand by. Something happened to this man. We have a duty to find out what.
Captain, if we come up with nothing, or we find out we've been chasing our
tails, then I'll eat my jacket."
Stewart narrowed his eyes in Calhoun's direction and crossed his
arms. “You think this is funny, Calhoun? I would have thought better of you
than to be involved in a wild goose chase. Entering a man’s premises without a
warrant? I should throw the book at you.” He glared at DeLong again. “Actually,
I should throw the book at both of you.”
He sighed and leaned back in his chair, uncrossing his arms and
linking his hands behind his head. He continued to glare between the two men.
“All right," he said after minutes passed. "DeLong, I’ve
known you long enough to know that ninety times out of a hundred, your
instincts are sound. You want to search for the man, then fine." He held
both palms in the air, then slowly lowered them flat on the desk and leaned
forward.
"But do not, I repeat do not, do anything that would require
a warrant until you have probable cause to actually get a warrant. Keep me
posted. I’ll give you two days to either find Grimes or hard evidence that he
is actually missing. Two days. That is all.”
“Yes, sir. Thank you, Captain,” DeLong said with a satisfied nod.
“Yes, thank you,” Calhoun echoed.
“I have to run out for a little while,” the captain said with a
sigh. He rose, straightening his shirt uniform. "Try not to waste too much
of my time. Or yours."
"Yes, sir," DeLong acknowledged as he left the office.
“Where do you want to start?” Calhoun wondered, trailing after
him.
“I suppose we should go back to the schoolyard,” DeLong said,
halfway out the door. “Maybe between the two of us, we'll find something I
overlooked when I first looked around." Outside, DeLong blew into his
hands to warm them. "Honestly, I just wanted to get out of the station a
little bit. But I didn't want to go home. Sam has me sleeping on the couch
these days. Anyway, I wasn't really sure what I was looking for. The body
wasn't there. The snow we had would have destroyed most, if not all the
evidence."
At
the truck they slid inside. DeLong adjusted the heat as Calhoun set the gear in
motion. "I just want to be sure we've covered all our bases.
Then
let’s go back to the Walkers'. I want to know more about Jonathan Walker’s
friendship with Manny Grimes.”
