Laura entered the clinic with one thing in her mind. Answers. She needed the last piece to make the puzzle fit and Tiffany Anderson was the only person who could help her.

She walked to the secretary who was engrossed in whatever she was doing that she didn't hear her approaching.

"Is Dr Anderson in?" She asked gaining the secretary's attention.

"Miss Montez, long time no see." She said flashing Laura a professional smile immediately she saw her. "I doubt you have an appointment today."

"Is she in or not? I need to get something immediately."

"Give me one second." She said before picking up the telephone and dialed Tiffany's office. "Ma'am Assistant DA is here to see you... Okay ma'am." She dropped the receiver. "You can go in now ma'am."

Laura walked into the office a second later shutting the door with a bang making Tiffany to panic.

"Jesus Laura! You want to break my door?!"

Laura ignoring her drew a seat and crossed her legs. "So where are the files I sent to you? I need them now."

Tiffany sat still staring at her like she had seen a nutcase. "Seriously?! You are unbelievable." She muttered.

Laura didn't want to be here but it was her last hope. Dr Tiffany Anderson was a psychologist and a criminal analysts who was the best around which made the police department and DA's office use her services very often.

"Fine I'll get the files." She opened a drawer and brought out a brown folder. "Here." She handed it over to Laura.

"So what do you have to say about it? I'll like to hear your analysis before I read it."

Tiffany adjusted her glasses, making her oval-shaped face look more professional than ever. Her ebony black hair packed in a ponytail with a lab coat that screamed her profession. "The killer is a male. He is probably between the age twenty-seven to fifty-seven. He is also right handed. He is not killing for pleasure that's for sure but for penance. To him he is serving as a justice system for whatever wrong the victim had committed. From the ways he split her stomach and the Star of David sign we saw it was a cultic killing. He may not be religious but the cult has a meaning for that symbol and the coin. He left her clothes and turned her upside down which shows that he has a conscience. He was probably somehow attached to the victim. Also the way he left the crime scene neat and the cut of the wounds. Our suspect is a neat freak. He will be a person with a clean criminal record and who works close to authority. He is also a very attractive person for the victim to feel insecure around him."

"So does Jones fit in this category?" Laura asked.

"He is within the age grade but he isn't a person who has so much of a sense of justice in him and is definitely not a neat person. If Jones was to murder someone it would be out of revenge or impulse. The murder was too strategic for him to plan. The murder was not a one person thing. Sure one person killed her but a lot of minds were behind it."

"What do you mean?"

"First, the killer is not a brutal person and from the little attachment he had with the victim the killing method was too brutal. He isn't an assassin either because of the too much sentiment he left at the crime scene. The killing was like a script the killer should act on. The method of killing, how he should position the body, where he should drop the note and coin, it was all premeditated. What they didn't expect was the sentiments he felt for the victim. That's the best way to catch the killer."
