Now would they be?

“Anyway, we had something interesting happen, and at first, it didn’t draw suspicion.”

They listened.

Honestly, they hoped that she had something because they had NADA.

“Will it get us Chevy?” Maura asked. “Because right now, I’m still ‘dead’, and it’s making it more difficult to keep Jagger safe without outing myself.”

She understood that.

“It will. Hear me out,” she said. Then, she began. “A woman got an invite from a modeling agency, and she showed up to the interview.”

They let her talk.

Granted, they had no freaking clue what this had to do with Chevy.

“It turns out that she was booked for a runway, in Venezuela. She came home, packed her bags, and was never heard from again.”

That made her pause.

“A model?”

Elizabeth nodded.

“Yeah, and I’d like to say it’s a coincidence and weird, but when you let me finish, you’ll see what I see. Oh, and it’s hella freaky.”

They’d take her word for it.

Immediately, Maura was flipping through the files to get to the same page.

“Are we talking Marjory Malinois?” she asked.

Elizabeth nodded.

Then, she kept going.

“She mentioned to a few friends that she was going to do the runway, and then when she never came back, they got worried. They submitted a missing person report to the police to report that she was MIA.”

Jagger lifted a brow.

“Okay, and?” he asked. “Because this doesn’t sound like a Hunter problem. If an American goes missing, that’s a CIA and pentagon issue.”

“Oh, it’s a Marine issue,” she said. “TAG, and shut up so I can explain.”

They did.

“The police said they would handle it, and nothing. The cop dealing with it in the missing person’s division of vice showed up at the friend’s house and told them that they made contact with Marjory in Venezuela. Apparently, she said she met a man and wasn’t coming back.”

Maura lifted a brow.

“That sounds suspicious,” she admitted, despite Elizabeth telling her to zip it. “Why wouldn’t she call her friend then?”

Exactly.

“Oh, it is suspicious, and you’re right. Only, she’s not the only one because we had another woman, Katherine Colt, disappear the same way.”

All of The Hunters looked as if that rubbed them the wrong way now.
