Supervisory Special Agent Remy Scott was dealing with some loneliness. His nephew moved out. He was feeling like an empty nester and so he discussed it with his therapist.
His therapist asked him an important question. She asked him if there was anyone else in his life besides his team? Remy hasn’t really spoken to family before Corey stayed with him. He doesn’t have friends.
He’s not dating anyone. He was looking for a connection and his therapist told him to put himself back out there. Meet new people. He could go on dates or just to the movies. He needed someone in his life that wasn’t catered around a transactional relationship.
Remy didn’t have time to think about things because a case came calling. He and his team were looking for a killer. The victims were a federal judge and his wife. Wade and Sarah Gimball. The Gimballs were killed at their home. Their closest neighbors lived miles away. Both were killed instantly. No one heard anything.
The killer didn’t steal anything. He didn’t even interfere with the bodies. He shot both twice. He was going to leave the state and then he returned to kill Judge Gimball’s clerk, Penny Springer.
Penny had gone on record to the cameras that all of the judge’s cases were being looked at. The feds wanted to see who had a motive. Penny had been with Judge Gimball since his days in St. Louis as a defense attorney. She was his paralegal back then. She lived alone. She was a cat lady and she was messy.
She was holding the keys to a locked desk when she was killed. The feds searched everywhere to see where the keys fit. They matched it to the desk. They checked the desk. They saw that Penny was looking into a double homicide back in Missouri.
There were two girls that went missing after a party. Only one of their bodies were found. The murders were blamed on Emmett Allen. He suffered a head injury at sixteen and he’s of limited mental capacity. He didn’t have a lawyer when he was being questioned. He was coerced into giving a false confession.
He recanted later on with the help of a new lawyer. The lawyer’s name is Abby Deaver. She was the only one that believed her client was innocent. She couldn’t get him a new trial in such a conversative state. And so the state was about to execute an innocent man.
Judge Gimball must have known who really killed the girls. He was killed to cover it up and so was his paralegal turned clerk. Penny was heavily in debt. She suddenly opens a new bank account in Missouri because she believed she was coming into some money.
All she did was force the killer to kill again. The feds found the body of the second girl with evidence that Penny was just sitting on. They have DNA from the girl and her friend. It wasn’t a match for Emmett. The court refused to stay the execution and so the feds broke attorney/client privilege.
They accessed Gimball’s files. They were able to determine that his client was Curt Rowan. He was at that party and he was never questioned because the blame was pinned on Emmett.
Poor Emmett doesn’t even understand what’s going on. He thought he would be put to sleep for a long time. He doesn’t understand death. The prosecutors went after him because he was a handyman at a nearby building. The girls tricked him into buying alcohol for them. He hugged her because he thought he was doing a favor for a new friend. And that’s how his DNA got on her.
Not in her like the other DNA.
Curt Rowan meanwhile got to live his life. He started a company. He sold it for a hundred million dollars. He was now living the easy life with his wife and infant daughter. He could easily have paid Penny off only he doesn’t like losing. He went on the run after killing an additional three people. He skipped a flight to kill Penny.
He stole a car from an Uber driver that fled during a gas stop. He then traded that car for another stolen one outside of a diner. Remy has his team pursuing Rowan while he stayed with Emmett. He and Abby stayed with Emmett because they didn’t want him to die alone.
The rest of the FBI caught up with Rowan. They were able to arrest him without anyone getting hurt. They shoved a DNA swab down his throat. They were trying to fast track it.
The execution was going ahead in the meantime. They couldn’t find a vein in his arm. Emmett’s veins were small. They were going through his foot when that vein also proved difficult. They cut him open without anesthesia. They were going to torture him before death when they found one of the victim’s prosthetic’s foot in Rowan’s secret compartment.
Rowan was attracted to amputees. Even his wife was one. They used that to convince the Governor to stay the execution and Emmett’s life was saved at the last minute. And now its Rowan who was going to face the death penalty for the five lives he took.
Abby and Remy sorta hit it off. She left the door to her hotel room open. He took her up on the offer. Hana also got to know a US Marshall she met on her flight back to New York.
THE END!
