Chapter 4
The next morning Martin felt bad. He had the feeling that something was stolen from him. The sex with Catherine was really good but something was missing. He felt empty and lonely. Early in the morning he left her room and went back to his. He took a shower and shaved. His body was calmer than it was the last several months, but the same couldn't be said for his mind.
Suddenly his phone rang. It was a cop from the local police. They had found the body of Linda Robertson.
An hour later Martin and Catherine were on location where the body had been found. The little Teddy bear she bought was on her body. She had been shot.
Martin hated when the cases ended like that. He felt really bad for her family. The cop who had called Martin told them that the coroner set the time of death between 8 and 10 pm last night.
"Our profiler thinks that it's a serial killer." He said.
"You have a profiler?" Catherine was surprised.
"Sort of. She helps police and creates a profile of some murderers, but sometimes she helps our officers deal with their own problems." The officer explained. "Like a therapist."
"And why does she think that this is the work of a serial killer?" asked Martin.
"As I understand because there were other victims before this."
"There were other victims?" this was a surprise for Martin.
"Yeah, but I don't know anything in particular. You should talk about that with our profiler, Sofia Miller."
"Where could we find her?" asked Catherine.
"Right there."
The cop showed them a blonde woman which was standing with her back to them. They both went to talk with her. Suddenly she turned and looked at them for a moment. Martin froze. This was Sam. His Sam. What she was doing here? As a profiler?
She looked amazing. Her long blond hair was in a pony tail, just like he liked it. Her lips looked so sweet.
Catherine kept walking toward her.
"Excuse me, are you Sofia Miller?" she asked.
"Yes, and you are?" Sofia asked staring at Martin.
"Agent Catherine Sims. FBI." Catherine introduced herself. "And this is agent Fitzgerald."
"Nice to meet, agent Sims. Agent Fitzgerald." She shook hands with them. "How can I help you?"
Martin was confused. Why had she changed her name? And why didn't she recognize him? What happened?
"We understand that you think that our guy is a serial killer. Why?" asked Catherine.
"Because we have a woman found shot and a teddy bear on her chest in New York last week. She had been kidnapped from Miami. The week before that there was the same case in Miami." Sofia explained. "I think that he will kidnap another woman from here and will kill here in some other town the next week. So we have to hurry."
Catherine went to call Jack about the death of Linda Robertson. Martin decided that this was the best time to speak with Sam.
"Sam?" he said quietly.
She stared at him for a moment.
"What did you call me?" Sofia asked. "Who's Sam? My name is Sofia, agent Fitzgerald."
She turned around and left him to stare at her.
"Jack said that we should escort the body back in New York." Catherine was back. "We have to stay here until the coroner releases her. This could take a few days. It will be great, don't you think?"
Martin looked at her questioningly. His mind was numb. Then he realized that Catherine was expecting to spend the next few days with him. He decided to make things clear with her as soon as they were alone and somewhere they couldn't be heard.
A/N. It seems that nobody like this story… Maybe I should stop it?
