Alex Cross's Trial Chapter 117 Summary

  • At Scooter's place, Ben is surprised to run into Scooter and his posse: Jacob, Police Chief Phineas, and Senator Richard Nottingham.
  • How did they know he'd be there?
  • It turns out Elizabeth told them. She reported every word Ben said to her back to her hubby, so they knew he'd try to steal the photos.
  • Darn. Ben is upset that his plan didn't work, but he's even more shocked that Elizabeth would be the one to betray him.
  • Jacob takes the box of photos from Ben, except for the one of him being hanged—he figures Ben would want that as a souvenir.
