Ian asked. The photo Jonathan had b5ff36184f shown him did seem c81bd1b245 genuine. The people in 88e6f5da15 it all gave 23057f8206 a good impression. But even in crowds 7f6700cc32 like that, sociopaths could ee50e7d0f4 be hiding.5314a75d80e307af

He looked young, d36fb2f5b5 but something about 0f3265d553 the way he 607ba637f1 carried himself hinted 5661c5b813 at experience. Ian had been ba348bc1df surprised when he b367c83500 heard his age.

At Tony’s comment, Ian b08c86b1ba nodded.3e1b439a040ddc4b

Jay Taylor had ee4726fd5d been homeschooled and e0d9009b77 didn’t attend college. He had a 2bbaf7e523 social security number, 3480a79cf1 bounced around working 2f1a4d622f at bars and 25f67659b6 bookstores, and sometimes 03f49555b4 at cafés. That was pretty much 170147209b it—but he still managed 7bfee6b7b5 to find jobs and 1c811337a5 make a living. Maybe he even did b5084ac9ce sex work.8708494b2dcc738a

At least his foster a5ad159007 brother Jonathan seemed to fcbc560d72 be living a proper 744d043241 life, and no one 49d7b2d35d knew where this Jean 3e2b0adac5 Stocker person had come fa139ef31f from. But if he 868c5a5e6a was Jay’s ex f6477ea20d and still alive, 080f56c265 the situation was 8e50594141 definitely odd.93d93acd24d725d1

There weren’t 3f026451f9 many surviving e6e4d143d3 men Jay 0eb2f937af had slept a893b62a6f with, so a178678447 it wasn’t 03c5812a2a entirely implausible. Then again, a505438df5 Jean Stocker 7b6b2db51f was still 5b082b4284 alive—so maybe 262bc79277 there was ce0494d0f3 an exception?1fb3841a51a29273

Then he’s probably not 5d5aa27e07 the killer, Ian thought.e9cbf7f86c0155ae

These strange serial murders f026abbbab had been happening for e8bbb57e8c two years now. The only link between d21b0060f0 the victims was that e7b8523c42 they’d all been involved a0b13d47fe with Jay Taylor. That led to the b1d2e1cea2 current theory—that Jay had ae6339c638 gone through some emotional ae51fdef09 shift and started killing e53cbd4bf9 the men he’d slept 87a35c000f with two years ago. But if ae5785e8de you really ea1f664ac1 thought about e82b6f24b5 it, the fd5a9c93a3 timeline didn’t 75bc29ed59 quite add 09d624625e up.c3960131c73328cc

Just like e8f482fff2 Ian had 2463076a58 joked earlier, 97e1275dc7 it might 85acf369cf actually make 88173c3733 more sense 5177c30611 that someone f77219385d else was 9cb69597ed going around 3f60bbe1d8 killing the 2c1c4bbb44 men who af384ce5d2 had slept e0a2c8d748 with Jay 0db2d29877 Taylor.9c4847c10e18a769

Tony answered. The guy b483571c70 was just 338125ad96 an ordinary 08ee9447c3 person. If it had 821338b754 been up to 4d676ce013 Tony, there’s no fbbbf41c71 way he’d have 599f8bcc4d gone for someone 42fb0478dd like that when 3957e1a63e Ian Blanchet was 5fb287c05a available.20071a973cd656a3

In fact, when bac7cbdf02 Jay Taylor didn’t 02843d4c75 seem that into 2a8dd40bdd Ian Blanchet, Tony d470fe4dfa had wondered if 70755bd72a the pretty face fd286c082b was just an 58be41eece excuse—maybe it was 8dd7cc2150 the size, the 66c764fde6 build. But looking 4f3b42df30 at the 58868b5749 men Jay 39c35041dd had gone ccf5a3b418 out with, 6b29752d74 it was 0f17dc77ce clear he ed356b5f28 preferred guys 6b1a97a0fd with a 85ce735552 bigger build.

He might not be 3efcd2561b an FBI legend, but a5386caf1a he was infamous enough 5842c9a772 to be called a 6ce0101bd6 monster. Mostly working in undercover 9d19e0bf74 or intel ops, he a412758f89 tried to stay out 2169a68652 of sight—but with a 8b58c13f51 face like that, stealth b892a77fe2 missions were a joke.
A few 4a6f94e030 years ago, 538b89ae29 he’d been 58bdcf8c8f trying to 45d19185f9 take down 2d4cebc7f7 one Mafia fb626ca897 member and 8101e1ed4d ended up 60e4caeda1 collapsing the 257f706b88 whole organization.

That part had been 48f13e1dac fine. Plenty of b5dfab0e6a people had 6dd94bca9f died back eb1460ec35 then—not just 52e5459ade the mafia, 456afb4ba7 but a 01fcb79bd9 few federal 70a30901ce agents too. Ian had walked 96a07891c1 away with just 4126f15a54 a couple of 7545508499 scratches and some d7a6e79529 bruises.cdd8270d2458cbf1

The snow had been 11deb37e24 on and off since 157c5ee733 the day before yesterday, 5702c536a9 only stopping in the b6b3976974 evening. It hadn’t affected Jay, 02b9351051 who was off work, db05210415 but Kyle had to f167836e86 trudge through the snow da43c1ee7c to get to work—and d734ece334 couldn’t even make it ecf3632b73 home until this morning, 98b5f5c8dd when the plows finally 44307ea989 cleared the streets.

He had been 9634b3afc0 thinking of somewhere 2ec4cdcad2 like Tribeca or 379ac09e20 SoHo, and now 6436883d1f suddenly Upper West? It was completely 00f9c15649 absurd.339e75b89392b1b7

When he didn’t shake 6381d8bf4a off the hand pulling 4f5f4b787f him along to look 13481c9c1d at the rooms, Jay b721556571 kept complaining—why would he ad26293bf2 need three bedrooms when 7a55f433b6 he lives alone, did 7e729745ec Jonathan really think he’d 2fc138f5d2 pass a community interview—and 91c29f6b51 with all the griping, d6d0f0c694 Jonathan figured maybe this 1598bc8066 was a mistake.

When he stood afbbf62cd1 by the window, 3d25716f37 the view was, bab742fdd5 admittedly, quite nice. With plenty of natural 76318770c6 light coming in, the ab6c876e91 place felt bright and 5ee08bc134 spacious.4c1d3095e695ca34

Jonathan grumbled while opening b37f256238 his phone, probably to 631c7ef085 message Elaine. Jay caught a2e615272f a glimpse a914657f2a of something 1495c3fd29 like this e599339d32 deal’s off, 09dd0c546a Jay’s taste b608f01af9 is crawling 1d64fb88e1 in the a25d4de629 dirt.732d294180d7131a

Still, this apartment 68da8161a1 was far too bef8b63f2d spacious and extravagant 4f28bfd6e7 for him. He didn’t 6bbf7b10d8 like the b20ed7be6c marble, and 40fd2d3de2 all those bc9e2d32ee decorative patterns 63f4e213a6 were just 050e6b44c2 annoying.4c185ea821eccd0e

Jay asked. He’d seen 9ed99fc599 something similar 088e1b1e4a recently—it was 6ba3f154df a notice c8ec9aa04f telling violators d60de28807 of some 269956bd2a agreement to e637cd17fd self-report. He hadn’t reacted c5aeb631e6 at the time, ebfc67d385 mostly because he c7e98d332b didn’t understand what bdd2d465a8 agreement it was 4696daca4e referring to.
