Excerpt from Jacksonville Jack
As Agent Neal drove he pondered what he knew. Jacksonville Jack was a serial killer and he had just struck for the third time. Jack had been active in other cities. In previous existences he had been Seattle Sidney, St. Louis Lenny and Baltimore Bertie. Although the names sounded like a joke this guy was anything but a joker. He killed ten women in each city and then moved on. That meant if Agent Neal couldn’t find him and put him away then seven more women would die in Jacksonville before Jack was done.

Jacksonville Jack 1
Agent Pete Neal turned his car around and headed for the Southside area of Jacksonville. He knew that his partner Molly Syracuse was doing the same thing. The call had come in on their way to work. The rush hour, as usual in Jacksonville was bad and he knew it would be even worse in the Southside area. He was on J-T-B or Butler Boulevard to the initiated and there were a lot of office buildings between where he was and his destination. He flipped his siren on and watched as the cars in front of him began to react and make way for him. Traffic wasn’t wall to wall but it was slow moving. When the City of Jacksonville decided to expand rapidly in the late nineties they neglected to do two things, they neglected to plan and build new roads and they neglected to attract companies in to employ all the new workers they were bringing in.
As he drove he pondered what he knew. Jacksonville Jack was a serial killer and he had just struck for the third time. Jack had been active in other cities. In previous existences he had been Seattle Sidney, St. Louis Lenny and Baltimore Bertie. Although the names sounded like a joke this guy was anything but a joker. He killed ten women in each city and then moved on. That meant if Agent Neal couldn’t find him and put him away then seven more women would die in Jacksonville before Jack was done. After that another city would get him and he would not be Jacksonville’s problem. If Agent Neal didn’t get him before that then he would always be Agent Neal’s problem. Jack would always be lurking in the background at promotion time and some of the promotions he should have had would evaporate.
Pete Neal was a realist. Seattle, St. Louis and Baltimore were all bigger cities than Jacksonville and none of them had caught Jack. This was going to be a bad case. Agent Neal turned off Butler Boulevard and onto Gate Parkway. His siren was still going and it needed to be going because Gate Parkway was backed up. He went screaming through the intersections and all the traffic and then he was heading towards the apartment areas. These apartments had been built at the height of the building boom and were just being built out when the recession struck. A lot of them were still empty. He cut his siren before he approached the new FBI building. There was a lot of traffic going north but not much going in his direction which was south. He turned the corner where the FBI building was situated and then his GPS indicated he was almost there. Interesting, he would bet you could probably see the FBI building from the victim’s apartment.
Her name was Janice Holden, he knew that much. He also had pictures of Janice Holden on his cell phone. Jacksonville Jack had emailed everyone in Janice’s address book just before he left her apartment. Agent Neal looked at the pictures as he drove the final four hundred yards towards the apartment complex. The first shot was taken from behind and it showed a woman with long blonde hair sitting on a settee. Jack’s trademarks were there. The woman had a glass of whiskey on a small table beside her. Jack always brought that with him and it was always an expensive malt whiskey and it was always from Scotland. In Seattle that whiskey had always been Glenmorangie and it had been the same whiskey for the first five girls killed in St. Louis. They actually knew where those bottles had been bought and they knew when they had been bought. Jack had bought them exactly one year to the day before the first woman was killed. By then the surveillance videos had been wiped so it told them nothing apart from one thing. It told them that Jack was the kind of man who could lay down $1,500 cash for fifteen bottles of whiskey so the guy had funds or at least he did when he lived in Seattle.
Agent Neal pulled up outside Janice Holden’s apartment complex. He still had his cell phone on the first picture. Most times there no marks on Jack’s
