TOO CLOSE TO HOME
Chapter 8
How the hell could I have forgotten about this?" Don wondered aloud. He and Terry had gotten out of the car and were approaching the taped off crime scene.
"You know about this place?" Terry asked.
Yeah. It's one of Charlie's shortcuts. He has a number of them for when he needs a quicker route," Don explained.
"It's right off the campus but still close enough." She studied the grove of trees.
David was already there and he waved them over. "Looks like another victim of the campus killer. She's been beaten repeatedly with a blunt object."
"Have we got an ID on her yet?" Terry asked.
"Yeah. Calsci student ID has her as a Lorelei Harris, age nineteen.," David replied.
"Damn," Don swore softly. Meeting their questioning glances, he quickly elaborated. "I know that name. She's one of Charlie's students."
I think you and I better be the ones to tell him," Terry spoke up. "What time does he get here?"
Don rubbed his forehead trying to think. "I don't think he'll go to his office if he sees all the vehicles. He'll head here. He'll want to know."
"Agent Eppes," one of the crime scene techs called out.
"Keep an eye out for him, Terry," Don instructed. He reluctantly went to see what they wanted him for.
