He took a few pictures and walked the area where the second body had been

dumped. Gloria Patterson, twenty-four and an engineer. The killer had not even

bothered to cover her with leaves.

 

He eyed the area. It was isolated although the campus of William and Mary was

not very far away. Just through some trees, really.

 

He got back into his car and started it up. When he reached the third site, he

saw it heading down the road away from him.

 

A white van.

 

But was it the same white van?

 

He couldn’t be sure. It looked the same.

 

He snapped a few pictures of the area and then jumped back into his car.

 

The van was out of sight, but that didn’t matter. Puller knew where he was

going, and if this turned out to be the mother of all breaks, so did the person

driving the white van.

 

He turned down the road leading to the fourth and last site. As he drove up, he

saw a glimmer of white as it reached a curve in the road and disappeared.
