See You Soon

Johnnie stopped her there. “Think about it. First, there have not been any in the same state. Since there not in the same area, we have had to piece this together, going from state to state. Until I found you, we were not even sure of where to look next. But now, since I know that you are here, I know that any town between here and Birmingham, Alabama with a college within 25 miles of the interstate, that has a Masters’ program of any kind, is a potential target. You are my missing link.”
“But, this is why I left. I’m sorry, but I do not think that I can go through this again, not now, not ever!”
Johnnie stood up and began to pace in the room. “Damn it! Look at me and listen well. It is YOU that is the final target. Not some random stranger, but you. You have to help us before it is your body that I am looking at and having to identify.”
