sweet baby. It made me mad when Sarah took over.
“I love Sarah though so it was okay. She won’t mind if you go to her condo. You have a key so you don’t have to worry.”
I was beginning to think I was really talking to a small child and I loved her so much more than I already did. I bent over and kissed her on the cheek, “Thanks Beth.”
CHAPTER 16
I was going to drive us over to the condo but Judith asked if we could walk to clear our heads. Of course you can get along without owning a car in Monroe Beach so I agreed.
We took the back way along the be ach instead of the highway. As soon as we got to the sand Judith took off her pumps and jacket and I noticed she was wearing only a lacy sports bra underneath.
“This feels so good,” she said as she stopped to dig her toes in the sand. “Let’s sit here on this dune for a minute while I explain something to you.
“From what I have been able to determine so far, Sarah doesn’t know anything about any of her other personalities. She only knows that she sometimes loses time. Of course this is when one of the other personalities takes over.
“Beth knows about Sarah for sure but I don’t know who else she knows about. I still haven’t met Twoon but, from what your deputy Freddy told me, when he arrested Twoon he tried to blame everything on Sarah.
“The young mute boy, I don’t know much about yet. I don’t even know his name. I tried to get him to write it but he’s too young and can’t write yet.”
“Have you noticed how Beth puts a ‘th’ in a lot of her words? I’m wondering, this character Twoon, the tw sound a lot like a th. She called me sherith. I’m wondering how we would pronounce the Twoon character’s name. Do you understand what I’m saying, doc?”
She stared out at the ocean and nodded slowly, “Yeah, I didn’t think of it that way but , yeah. I can’t come up with anything right now can you?”
I shook my head and stood up and offered her my hand. I pulled her up and we went to the condo.
As soon as we got inside she s tarted searching. “What are we looking for?” I asked.
“Anything that will help us but I wanted to se e if Twoon kept any trophies. A lot of serial killers do.”
I started in the kitchen and she started in the bedroom. I opened drawers and cabinets but didn’t find anything. Sarah wasn’t much of a cook so she didn’t have much, only a few dishes and pots and pans.
I opened the door where the hot water heater was. Sarah kept her broom and mop in there. I knew that because I once saw her get the mop to clean up a coke she had spilt, but I had never looked in there myself.
It looked like the edge of a paper bag sticking out from the back of the hot water heater and I pulled it out. When I opened it I felt like I was in the twilight zone.
Inside the paper bag was several pieces of jewelry, watches, a headband, and a glove. They all had blood on them. “Uh, doc? I found something.”
She came into the kitchen, “So did I. There’s stuff everywhere in the bedroom and bath.” We switched bags. Hers was a big black garbage bag. Inside were items of clothing: sweaters, jackets, and jeans. Some of the items I remember wondering why the victims weren’t wearing. There were also a lot of purses.
After looking in both bags she led me to the bathroom and opened the cabinet under the sink. There was a big bag full of prescriptions. None of the prescriptions had Sarah’s name of them. They were for anything from asthma to heart medication.
I recognized some of the names but some I didn’t know. We had suspected that several of the victims had been runaways and hadn’t yet identified them. This would help us. There were no driver’s licenses in any of the purses.
I was going to assign the task to Freddy. He was the best one for computer work. He could use the doctor’s and patient’s names and hopefully identify them.
