CHAPTER 63
Frank felt as helpless as he did when Jillian had died, but for that night he knew he couldn't do anything for Tylo. He shuddered to think what could be happening to her at that moment. He needed his sleep to match wits with the stalker; he seemed to be one step ahead of him.
He handcuffed Tylo to the bed and said, "It will be over soon."
As he closed the door, the voice in his head started, "Why are you letting her get to you? You are the man, the master. She is the woman, the slave." He ignored the voice in his head hoping it would go away. It never did when he had them this close. "She is playing you like a fiddle, don't fall under her spell. You are losing precious time."
The angel summoned his crew; the demons would not let it rest. They need to stand guard while Tylo slept. The demons had not won the war this night but won the battle. He gave in and crawled in bed with her, that would be enough for tonight. Tomorrow he promised he would be back to himself. The man, the master.
Frank tossed and turned all night, getting less sleep then if he was awake. Tomorrow he would have to tell her brother what had happened.
Tylo woke up to bright sunlight in the room; she stretched and went to get up when she remembered the handcuffs. She slowly started to remember where she was and what took place last night. She had felt him crawl into bed, she pretended to be asleep but was aware of every move he made. She remembered blocking out the fact that his hands were roaming all over her body during the night.
He walked in and said, "Good Morning gorgeous."
She would come to hate the word gorgeous said, "What's so good about it?"
"Do you always get up ornery? I made you breakfast."
"Not hungry."
"That's what you said last night. Eat voluntarily or I will feed you. Your choice."
Tylo sensed the change and began eating.
Frank met the crew at the 'nest' to formulate a plan. Frank and Monica were going to see Gary, Cody was working on the tracking device, and Jake and Alex would revisit the evidence from all the crimes.
Frank and Monica walked into the investment firm, the receptionist immediately recognized Frank, and said, "Can I help you?"
Frank said, "Please tell Mr. Anderson that Frank Donovan is here to see him."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, he will see me. So please advise him I am here."
She dialed Gary's extension and gave him the message. When she hung up she escorted Frank and Monica to his office.
Gary stood up and shook hands with Frank, then closed the door. Frank introduced Monica to him.
"The situation that you asked me to check into, I have some answered for you."
"See, I knew Tylo just should have told you."
Frank and Monica exchanged looks, "Tylo had more than home invasions to be concerned with. Tylo was being stalked by serial killer."
"How did you find out?"
"I am the federal agent with my crew working the case. He has already killed eight women and we were trying to get to him before he got number nine."
Gary looked from Frank to Monica; he paled, started to sweat, and asked, "Where is my sister?"
"I don't know, she's with him." He said not realizing as he replied Gary drew back and punched him. Monica was in front of Frank, gun drawn. "You just assaulted a federal agent, keep your hands where I can see them." Monica said.
Frank shook off the pain in his jaw and moved along side of Monica, "Put the gun away, I'm okay."
As Monica lowered the gun he said to Gary, "I'm here because I need your help. Are you willing to put your issues with me aside to help your sister?"
"Yes, of course."
"Monica is my profiler, she has profiled the killer but I need her to be able to profile your sister. I need to know that she can say and do the right thing not to get herself killed."
He sat down along with Frank and Monica, "What do you want to know?"
Monica said, "I want to know what her personality is like."
Gary smiled, "That's a tall order. Tylo and I are twins you know. Tylo was always the free spirit one, me I was more cautious. The year my parents sent me to summer camp, Tylo changed. She was always a tomboy, when I got back she was a woman."
Monica said, "From a distance, she didn't seem free spirited more like someone broke her spirit."
"Ah, yes. You know she will kill me if I tell you everything."
"If you don't, she may not have that opportunity." Frank said.
"Bradley her ex and I met at that summer camp became best friends. So it went from the gruesome twosome to three's company. Then the worst thing happened for a brother, his best friend and sister fell in love."
"Fairy tale no doubt, isn't he a multimillionaire?" Frank asked sarcastically.
"Oh yeah, but he was down to earth, in fact his whole family was. Our parents were well off but nowhere near Bradley's and they welcomed Tylo with open arms. She blossomed under their tutorage into society."
"And you were on her coattails?" Frank asked.
"Not exactly. Anyway they got married and didn't live happy ever after kids."
"What happened that was so terrible?" Monica probed.
"Tylo became pregnant five years ago. It was a tough pregnancy for her, she drove everyone crazy."
Frank drifted back to when Jillian was pregnant; he knew exactly what Gary was saying.
"Tylo went into labor early, her ob/gyn couldn't be located, so they took her into emergency room. During her delivery her baby's cord got wrapped around her neck. The emergency room doctor freaked and cut her, and cut her, and cut her. When it was over, the baby was dead and Tylo was sliced, diced, and was told she would never be able to have children."
Frank thought back to when Tylo said that she had suffer a setback five years, the flowers, and the faraway look she would sometimes get when she talked to Veronica. The pieces of the puzzle were falling into place.
"Tylo and Bradley grew closer during the months after the death. They talked about other options available to them. Then two years ago, the bomb was dropped; Bradley's parents wanted an heir, a blood heir. They pressed and pressed, and then they gave him no options. Either divorce Tylo or lose everything."
Monica thought that being abducted might put the icing on the cake. She looked over at Frank and saw the pain in his eyes. Frank usually kept his emotions in check, but he was in his own little world right now that he didn't even notice Monica.
"So Bradley came to me with his dilemma, we agreed that it would be better for both of them to divorce. I made sure she was well compensated for it, but it will never replace what happen. I was there when she was served the papers; Bradley loves her still today. Tylo went wild for a year; she went through men like they were candy. She went clubbing every night, when the alcohol led to drugs that's when I put her in rehab. She was in rehab for six months and when she was release she was a different person. She wore nerdy clothes and looked just as nerdy as she dressed."
"She went from one extreme to another." Monica said.
"You could say that, I was just beginning to get her to a happy median when she met Frank."
