Chapter 6: That's why
'' Just to make this clear, Brooke Taylor was a deaf woman who worked with us. She was found dead in her garage. She's the fifth victim of a serial killer whose identity is still unknown to us. We may have a suspect, but so far we don't have a name yet, only his picture. But we might be able to come up with a name, because maybe he was a student of Brooke when she was a teacher. We sent his picture. We have sent to every police-station in Maryland and the states around. Brooke Taylor was 30 years old, no children, married since a year and up to this point nothing could explain why she's been killed '', said Jack
Sue and Jack were back in the bullpen. They explained what they found out at Brooke Taylor's house.
'' James Scott, one of the victims, also worked with the FBI knew Brooke because it's him who hired her. It's the only link we know yet. So let's find this serial killer '', said D
'' Just one question: Is it possible that someone who's not deaf is a student of a Deaf School? '', asked Miles.
'' Maybe, but I don't think so '', said Sue.
Sue couldn't believe that maybe the killer was deaf, but she never knew someone none deaf who went to a Deaf School as a student.
So if it was really this guy on the video tape who killed Brooke and if he also been one of Brooke's students in the past, the killer was certainly Deaf. Jack noticed that Sue wasn't so at ease so hewalked over to her. He touched her shoulder to get her attention.
'' I think I still oweyou a lunch and I also think Levi needs a walk, is it true Levi? '' Levi barked. '' You see? So I suggest you to take a little break with me. Do you agree? '', said Jack.
"Well, why not? Come Levi", said Sue.
They went out.
It was about 5 o'clock and Sue and Jack were walking in a park near the office, with Levi.
'' Are you all right ...I mean with this specific case? '', asked Jack
'' If I told you I am all right, it would be a lie. And I can't tell you I am not, because I didn't even know Brooke Taylor. ''
'' I know you Sue. Even if you didn't know her, she was like you and she was an innocent person who was killed by someone who doesn't seem to have a heart at all We have to bear in mind this killer might be Deaf.But whether he is or isn't, it could be hard for you, because you care for anyone. That is what I love about you, you always have this hope of changing someone. You changed me and I want you to know I won't let you down because you're deaf, you're important to me. ''
'' I knew that. I read your lips when you were talking with Lucas Patterson after I was gone. And I saw how you told Lucas just how important I was to you. I was just going to let you say it to me again, personally. ''
'' You were spying on us! ''
'' I wasn't spying on you...I was just...OK I was, but that is not the point. The point is you're important to me too and I don't want to lose you. Bad things can happen to anyone, including you and me. But I don't want to think of that, not now.
'' I'm glad to hear that, but are you sure you're okay with this case? ''
'' See, this is one of the things I love about you, you always protected me and always will. But for your information agent Hudson, this isn't one of my favorite cases, but I will be OK with it, I promise. ''
'' Good '' he put his arm around her shoulders '' So Chinese, Mexican or Italian? ''
'' I will take the most expensive because you're paying! ''
Jack's cell phone rang.
'' I got a call '', signed Jack '' Hudson...''
'' I will be happy to pay for it another time, because we have to get back at the bullpen, they found something '', he said after he hung up.
Jack and Sue were at the bullpen.
'' The name of the guy on the tape, our first suspect, is Brad Kent. He was one of Brooke's students. He's Deaf. The picture we found of him is very similar to the person on the video tape. He's the last person who saw Brooke alive and might be the killer. Unfortunately we have no address where to find him '', said Tara
'' The reason why we called you is that we're almost sure that Brad Kent is the killer. He was at the same school that Paul Graham, the first victim, attended. Rose Fortier was his teacher at the elementary schooland guess what, he was one of her students before she resigned. Brad Kent applied for a job with the FBI, interview with James Scott, but James gave the job to Brooke Taylor. The only victim we're not sure about whether he knew her, is Anne-Marie James. So we have to interrogate her friend, Vanessa Roberts whether she knows something about Brad Kent and if she does, I think we have our serial killer '', said Bobby.
