me? You'll see for yourself what's going on. I know the staff at most of the clubs. I can get us in and out in a hurry if necessary. There's this bartender Bill who knows, sees and hears just about everything."
"Find out what you can. I'll update my commander and the other detectives involved, and we'll determine if an undercover operation is necessary. You have my card, Mary. Call me if you think of anything else."
"I'll be able to find out which club Celina was at the night she went missing."
"You do that, and we'll discuss going there to check things out."
"You may want to wear a disguise. There's always a chance that someone might recognize you. We'll make plans to meet here half an hour earlier, and I'll help you get ready."
Mary was pushing the undercover gig a bit much. Why did Grace feel this was just an excuse for Mary to dress her up?
Mary told Grace as soon as she entered the door that the woman had wonderful things for her. Grace caught Mary eyeing her body a few times. The feeling was creepy. God, this was bad, but if the trip to the club was successful, she might have an even better lead.

Chapter 5
"Right now, Jerry, I'm not believing a damn word you've told us. You're holding something back, and I want to know what it is. We know you're into drugs. Did you get Celina involved and maybe you owe someone?” Max eyed Jerry who sat in the interrogation room along with Max's partner, Tommy.
"I told you everything I know.” Jerry then ran his fingers through his hair. Max wasn't going easy on the kid. He didn't have any leads, any suspects and the fact the kid just appeared to be hiding something was enough to question him. Max didn't believe in wasting time. He was always thorough in his interrogation tactics and had a reputation for making the guilty confess.
"What did you do with Celina, Jerry? Where is she?” Max yelled into Jerry's ear as he shook the chair Jerry sat in.
"Do you know about the death penalty? Because if you're responsible for the murder of your girlfriend as well as the others, you're going to die,” Max added.
Jerry turned his head toward Max, eyes wide in disbelief.
"I didn't kill her. I didn't kill anyone.” He started to cry.
"Celina's friend Peggy said that Celina was having an affair. You found out about it and flipped out. Maybe you couldn't handle that? Maybe your jealousy took control and you took matters into your own hands?"
"No!"
"It's happened before, Jerry. The boyfriend finds out his precious, perfect little girlfriend is doing someone else and bam, he wants revenge, decides to slap her around a bit, and things get out of hand. You killed her, freaked out, got rid of the body then played the sad boyfriend who just happened to be the first one on the scene."
"I didn't kill Celina. I love her. I told Detective Martin all about it and the guy Celina was seeing."
Max paused a moment as the words sank in. Suddenly, he was angry as hell. Why hadn't Grace informed him? It didn't matter anyway because they had their suspicions after speaking with Peggy. Now Max would have to straighten out Grace Martin, let her know who was in charge of this case.
"Tell us everything, Jerry, and don't leave anything out,” Max demanded.

Grace couldn't shake the nervous feeling as she sat at the desk in her office going over everything she had on Celina's disappearance. The Cave and the real business being run behind closed doors only made matters worse. Any number of things could have happened to Celina. The police department felt Celina's case was somehow connected to the three other murder cases.
Her focus remained on the other cases and the condition of the bodies found, all indicating sexual assault and deviant behavior on the part of the suspect. She also relied on her training, her experience and the information she learned through numerous homicide courses. Geberth had emphasized the importance of ‘Victimology’ during a sex-related
