CHAPTER 49

Frank was working late again, but at least he knew Tylo was okay. Mabel was so understanding staying later than usual to watch Veronica while he tried to get a lead on the case. Frank was preparing for Alex to go undercover starting the following night.

"Cody, have you notified the Chicago PD that if they have any reports of stalking or usual behavior they are to forward it to us?"

"Yes, that is covered."

"Ok, I will get Alex's picture out to the PD tomorrow, so when she's working the streets they will not interfere. I'm out of ideas, I just hope this one works, Alex will work the streets for 3 nights."

Everyone was in agreement and left to go home, for tomorrow would be the start of a long journey.

He was at roll call when the latest information on the Stalker Serial Killer was announced. The team that was working on the case has come up empty, so anyone who gets a call concerning stalking is to be forward to their department for questioning.

He knew they would not be getting any calls concerning stalking, because she was too defiant. She was playing the game well, but after he looked at the pictures tonight he could plan his strategy. She was definitely a challenge.

Tylo was looking over some paperwork she had brought home from work when the doorbell rang. Sheer terror took a hold of her as she went to answer the door.

"Hi Mabel. What brings you over here." Tylo asked.

"Veronica is having trouble with her math homework and Frank is expected late. I was hoping you had a few minutes to come over and help her." Mabel asked.

"As much as I would like to, I don't think that's a good idea. Frank and I are on shaking ground." She said.

"I called Frank and made sure it was okay." She lied.

"Ok give me five minutes."

She went over and was immediately greeted by Veronica, "Hi Tylo, I made this for you."

Tylo took the picture of the horse, "Hey sweetie, that beautiful. Thank you."

"Ok, back to your homework." Mabel said thinking that lying to Tylo was not a good idea.

In 30 minutes, they were done with Veronica's homework. The timing could be worst, as Tylo was saying goodbye Frank was opening the door. Tylo turned and ran smack dab into him. He reached out to steady her so she wouldn't fall and she grabbed his arms to allow her to keep her balance. Her hair spilling onto to his arms, she looked up at him and both could feel the energy go through them. He gave her a questioning look when she looked at him.

"Ask Mabel." She said with a smile and got pass Frank.

Tylo was in front of her bathroom mirror in her Victoria Secret's underwear. She was inspecting every inch of her body with her hands, Except for the scars she was in good shape and the camera took in all her.
