In Chap­ter 207 of “All the Col­ors of the Dark,” Saint arrives at Mia­mi Inter­na­tion­al Air­port, amidst the live­ly atmos­phere and ris­ing humid­i­ty. As she nav­i­gates through the throngs of vaca­tion­ers, her shirt cling­ing to her in the heat, she picks up her Ford Crown Vic­to­ria and makes her way along the 95 Express toward her des­ti­na­tion. Saint feels a sense of relief as she recalls her coor­di­na­tion with Himes about the FBI’s approval for sur­veil­lance cam­eras to be installed out­side a church where Eli Aaron had recent­ly appeared to gath­er anoth­er set of rosary beads.

Sis­ter Cecile divulges that after obtain­ing the beads, Eli entered the chapel and lit a dozen can­dles, claim­ing to Sis­ter Isabelle that he was engaged in God’s work and head­ing south, a loca­tion “hot­ter in many ways.” With spe­cif­ic license plates and infor­ma­tion about the van’s make and mod­el, the author­i­ties tracked Eli through the city but momen­tar­i­ly lost him, sus­pect­ing he might have switched vehi­cles or plates.

Despite the chal­lenges, the agents estab­lished road­blocks and check­points while scru­ti­niz­ing count­less hours of sur­veil­lance footage. They mapped Eli’s prob­a­ble route, trac­ing it through Philadel­phia, down to the Car­oli­nas, and along the coast through Wilm­ing­ton and Myr­tle Beach. His jour­ney con­tin­ued, lead­ing inland along Inter­state 81 in Vir­ginia and then onto Inter­state 77 through Char­lotte before rejoin­ing Inter­state 95, ulti­mate­ly direct­ed toward Mia­mi.

The pur­suit over the course of thir­teen hun­dred miles proved ardu­ous and fraught with uncer­tain­ties. After hours of track­ing, they final­ly caught a lead at a toll booth fifty miles from Boca Raton where the atten­dant not­ed dis­crep­an­cies in the license plates, yet rec­og­nized the van from cir­cu­lat­ed pho­tographs.

As Saint rolls down her win­dow, she breathes in the bustling sounds of Mia­mi-Dade Coun­ty, gaz­ing at the sky­line dom­i­nat­ed by gray high-ris­es. With deter­mi­na­tion in her voice, she declares, “I’m com­ing for you,” sig­nal­ing her unwa­ver­ing com­mit­ment to con­front Eli Aaron. The chap­ter encap­su­lates the ten­sion and urgency of the chase while illus­trat­ing Sain­t’s resolve.
