Jackson stripped off his gloves and shook hands with Sean, and the others greeted him as an old and esteemed acquaintance He looked at Kelsey then, sheepish, his eyes trying toto the corpse that lay between them
"Hey, Kels"
"Hey, Sean"
He was tall and lean, with hair that was sireen eyes that were dominant in their family While she stood aardly behind the corpse, Sean kept avoiding it and trying to speak to the others, saying he was glad to be working with theue," Sean said, addressing Jackson "And I’m still involved with the documentary But I’ll do my best on searches and video recreations as soon as I have soan "How soon--"
"This afternoon," Kat said instantly "I’ll get an assistant in here, and we’ll start with the photographs I’ll see what I can do about getting down to the skulls If we can come up with a real idea of ht" Kat turned to Jackson, Logan and Kelsey "I’ll do whatever I can in the tests, and get back to you"
"Kelsey’s naan said "I think we all believe that ‘Jodie Doe’ ht have been the victim of a different killer--she was drowned This doesn’tit"
"All right, I’ll look for differences, as well," Kat pro I can to find out if a co, synthetic or natural, was used on any of the woht o’clock," Jackson said
They were disloves and went back to the hallway Knowing Sean was behind her, she turned around and greeted hi to see you soon," she told him, "but this is a surprise"
"It was a surprise for me, too," he said "Well, not totally Crow contacted me, but a lot ofshot The good thing is, we’ve come back to the city to do some interior shots at Branch Studios I’ured you wanted to spend soether…"
"I’d love to coht now I think it’s otiating to shoot there, too" He grinned wryly "The rodeo’s in tohich is good on the one hand, since they can hire souys as extras But it’s bad in a way, too, because Sandydone on the prereat clientele--thanks, of course, to the rodeo She won’t want us closing off any areas Then there’s sound, of course But I’lanced at his watch They’d an and Jane Everett had exited the autopsy room, as well He looked quickly in their direction "So, this is why you’re here?" he asked her "What do you think?"
My cousin! My blood, she thought Sean was here She felt now that she really had someone she knew, and trusted entirely
"I’m not sure yet," she told hi It’s a little scary But very te Who knew the world had so e," Kelsey said
"Right We’re perfectly norifted people," he said dryly "Let’s face it, Kels, we’re strange But working where strange is nore"
She studied Sean’s face He was a few years her senior; they’d both seen and done soe And they’d both learned that you didn’t talk about any of these things to others
She nodded "We’ll see, won’t we?"
"We will," he agreed
"Sean, you know the history and legends here, don’t you?"
"Born and raised in San Antonio," he reminded her "Any questions you have, I can answer later, okay?"

She didn’t ask where they were going Kelsey kneas anxious to search for Vanessa Johnston
She still felt a si her to touch Tara’s corpse--forcing her hand in ether
