Quote
Reyes said, "What do you know about Brian Mikkelson?"

"The Tempe Skinner? Twelve known victims, all gay males. Possibly twenty more. The Bureau lost two agents taking him."

Reyes spun his laptop on his desk so she could see its black screen. "Mikkelson made videos."

"I never heard--"

"Need-to-know covers a surprising amount of terrain. This is a copy of one tape." Reyes tapped the touchpad.

An elapsed-time window showed at the bottom of the screen. When the video stopped, it read fifty-two seconds.

"Faked?" She couldn't wrench her gaze away from the final frozen image.

"Probably not. According to the imaging experts here, at Langley, and at Industrial Light and Magic."
