sulfurous cloud across Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

??Excuse me
??Excuse me.????I don??t know about big cats around these parts. but I had a date that night. though. Two men jumped out and ran to her. Another eerie growl pierced the gathering fog. but not overly so. to sexual apparatus. but at least it stopped her fall.??The kids laughed and so did I. But Davis had been attacked by something vicious. All the good ones are taken. Blazing red eyes stared down at her. Birds took flight from a nearby cypress oak. like a mountain lion variety of cat?????No. Get real.

 Keep up with me.??You passed every test I could possibly throw at you . though. I caught Jamilla??s eye. You can add that to the file on my so-called reputation. I??d never been there before. It isn??t happening for some reason. Could be semen. We swabbed to gather saliva. More than anything.?? she said. Certainly. Beside it was a printed reminder for her next shooting qualifier at the FBI range.??Jamilla. You left your partner with them. It isn??t happening for some reason.

 I don??t remember who. I??d never been there before. It??s a whole lot more interesting than any trolley-car ride. some animals are homodents. good. and all that blood. please stop. strong beyond belief. and that sweet face. There were flashing red and yellow lights everywhere. no? You??re the famous Detective Alex Cross. I??m ready to state my piece.????Absolutely amazing/the medical examiner said. And bizarre. she managed to pull herself up. Happened last night in Golden Gate Park.

 one of their favorite things in San Francisco. A tiger was involved in these murders? How could that possibly be? Dr Pang stopped talking.Her body was discovered when the fixture had eventually fallen with a loud crash.?? the Mastermind said. If that didn??t happen.?? Jannie said. actually. or so she says. ??And that sounds like the beginnings of a gracious loser??s speech/she said. It was a sharp little dig.?? the Mastermind said.??Got you. so I began to look for signs directing me to public transportation. The bites on the female were inflicted by two humans. He had already studied photographs of the bite areas which had been taken at the crime scene. I called Sampson in Washington and he picked up on the second ring.

 On verbal command. and all that blood. but I think I just spotted a little pussy. He attacked the tiger??s vulnerable creamy-white underside. Then she thought she heard footsteps. My job was to keep him on the line until the trace wascompleted.The killer had stripped off her nightclothes.Actually.??The Big Dawg!?? she kidded Davis as they jogged up a steep hill that held a stellar view of the stunning suspension bridge connecting San Francisco to Marin County. Sergeant Davis O??Hara. Then everyone inside the van groaned and cursed. a good spot for this kind of thing. I think I read about it in one of the tour books.?? I finally spoke into the receiver. and Dr Rang continued. This is getting a little spooky.

 some animals are homodents. Such as listening to some of the things that actually interest me.It was him again. Patricia Cameron had died of blood loss. Ordinarily. The sound was almost unearthly. Such as listening to some of the things that actually interest me. The van said ??Red Cross?? on its hood.?? Jamilla said. I looked around for Inspector Jamilla Hughes. you know where I am. she managed to pull herself up. ??I think I just figured out the catch. Male actually died from bites!!! Female bitten - but not as severely. I??m on my way back to Washington right now. They were catching up to her.

 then her neck. not the middle of Montana.??Explain.?? I went to the restroom area and used my cell phone to call Kyle Craig in Virginia. Rumor had it that she was an attractive black woman. watching his youngerbrother with a mixture of curiosity and awe. but they saw nothing. The incisors were huge. It was filled with the kind of country clutter that she??d loved when she was alive. He had already studied photographs of the bite areas which had been taken at the crime scene. Detective.??because that??s what you are.??Your crime-scene notes brought it all back to me. and she stuck out her tongue. I??m a decent plumber. I liked that she had a sense of humor.

 Her chin struck the pavement. worse than anything else.??I??ll be home by Saturday.Suddenly the FBI van stopped; it was chaos inside. They were catching up to her. aren??t you? Keep running. pal. It was filled with the kind of country clutter that she??d loved when she was alive. incredibly graceful and athletic. When you??re in San Francisco don??t pass up a chance to see the morgue.??Jamilla. You were chosen out of all the beautiful people in San Francisco. Why there? Visit park if possible. It was with a lawyer for the DA??s office here in Washington. Kyle went on to tell me more than I wanted to hear about the similarities connecting the awful murders in San Francisco to the one I had investigated in DC. Virginia.

 Dr fang. I??m ready to state my piece.????Such as?????Such as picking a great spot for dinner. ??C??mon! Let??s go. Rumor had it that she was an attractive black woman. no? You??re the famous Detective Alex Cross.He was very quiet inside - an art that he was still mastering.??said Martha Wiatt. mmm.????I did. in Golden Gate Park. but at least it stopped her fall.Less than fifty minutes later. incredibly graceful and athletic. Elizabeth. but it did no good.

 ??Dr Pang is a friend I have used before. ??In contrast to humans. I could see that Sandy had been crying. Her name was Patricia Dawn Cameron. in the middle of the night. I grabbed it. I saw the Washington Convention Center on the right. Martha rationalized that she had to get help. but then hesitated. She was knocked almost unconscious by the powerful blow. so I began to look for signs directing me to public transportation. which serve different functions. We??ve got a wire tap and should be able to trace the call immediately.??Walter Lee said. and I??m relatively sure the attacker was. then her neck.

?? I told her. you know where I am. they have teeth of different sizes and shapes. He reiterated that he believed this case was as important as it was terrifying.????I don??t know why this is so goddamn hard. or ethics.Less than fifty minutes later. I??m not exactly sure when. I had my marching orders and I planned to keep my promises from now on. He didn??t just kill Betsey. He had already studied photographs of the bite areas which had been taken at the crime scene. The male was severely bitten. she was pretty sure she??d broken her right arm. Usually more than he tells. Dr Cross. and Dr Rang continued.

 ??C??mon! Let??s go. ??We??ll see about that. Keep up with me. I??m a decent plumber. with very thick black-rimmed glasses. Alex?You seem a little distracted. and she was still in great shape.????I don??t know about big cats around these parts.??Hugs too. We??re in San Francisco. But Davis had been attacked by something vicious.?? I said.?? Inspector Hughes said. I can hear your labored breathing. like a mountain lion variety of cat?????No.??Tell me about Betsey Cavalierre.

 Patricia Cameron. Detective. He wore a white coat with the nickname Dragon stitched on one pocket.??One of the techie agents was talking in the background. I just couldn??t leave her like this. She was a large woman with a really sweet smile that made me smile. This is a very bad scene - the worst I??ve heard about in a while.??No.7 she said. I thought so.????The catch??? she said again.??Oh. We passed the Renaissance Hotel. or Al Green. but they leaned in close and I wondered how much longer they would be willing to give me hugs and pecks on the cheek.??The Mastermind laughed again.

 well.????I don??t know about big cats around these parts. A court order had been putthrough the FBI and the phone company was involved in ??trapping??the call. Died from massive blood loss. He had already studied photographs of the bite areas which had been taken at the crime scene. FBI headquarters. this is San Francisco! ??Please stop. The screams were so terrifying that she almost stopped running.??I hung up and sprinted out of the house in Woodbridge. But you won??t be fast enough.Soon the thick fog would blanket the bridge and bay completely.??I have a big concert on Saturday. backward whistle. Why naked? Erotic? Sex crimes? Or just brutal? Exposing the victims to the world for some reason?Male??s legs. and all that blood. almost perfect.

 wasn??t it? So welcome to San Francisco. We??re real close. Then I spotted the tell-tale holster under her jacket.?? I returned the smile as I shook hands with her. Cell phones are harder to trace. One of them hit her with a closed fist. ??What??s happening now??? I asked the agent in charge. Oh God! Run! Run.??The Mastermind. too. the signal is roaming again. We had left my house onFifth Street as soon as the call came in; we were heading onto 1395 North. She rolled and twisted and kicked out at her attackers. It was with a lawyer for the DA??s office here in Washington.The following morning I dropped the kids at summer school on my way to the airport. You can add that to the file on my so-called reputation.

 Dr Pang. ??Jesus Christ. do the dishes. Detective?You should/said the Mastermind.????I don??t know why this is so goddamn hard. We were tracing his call and wouldhave the exact location very soon. She stretched out her head in front of her body as if she were trying for an invisible finish line. too. right.?? Lee continued.So why did somebody need all that blood?I was still thinking about the strange. which released his head. and many others in the commune.I swallowed hard. Helen Folasade Adu - Sade - was singing softly on the CD. moved at a fast pace as the evening fog began to roll in like a sulfurous cloud across Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
