I caught Jamilla??s eye.

 They had been arrested for possession
 They had been arrested for possession. The house was strangely. tried to focus her eyes.????I did. My sense of balance was off. and that sweet face. Such as being very handsome - not that it matters to me. Shestumbled over a pointy rock and cartwheeled down a steep hill. I saw the Washington Convention Center on the right. Also cut with sharp object.????Kyle. and that was very fast. this is San Francisco! ??Please stop. Why there? Visit park if possible. Davis??s screams had stopped. Such as listening to some of the things that actually interest me. ??You??re what - thirty-nine. She didn??t particularly look like a homicide detective.?? Suddenly the two runners?? playful exchange was interrupted by a much louder growl. It??s moving outside Washington. or ethics. I didn??t want to answer. I went back to join Elizabeth at our table. The van said ??Red Cross?? on its hood. John. Her grip was strong. I only thought that it did. I thought so. Their mother and father had been hippies.

 I think they found Dr Pang just a little strange. ??Where the hell is he?????Shit. Then he pounced. grabbing onto flesh with his teeth. The male was severely bitten.????The catch??? she said again.Her body was discovered when the fixture had eventually fallen with a loud crash. I didn??t see them anywhere in the bedroom.??he said. do you remember a case you and I worked about fourteen months ago? A runaway girl was found hung from a lighting fixture in her hotel room. But you won??t be fast enough. Where the hell was the Mastermind calling from???I think we have a fix on him. The master bedroom was situated at the end of the hall. but they saw nothing. much prettier. Small red dots at the site of bindings to the ankles where victims had been hung. threatening phone calls to me every morning for over a week. Somebody. For now anyway. Also cut with sharp object. You have all those big. The FBI techs and the local police were swarming at the open door like angry wasps around a threatened hive. with a Flemish flair.?? ??Alien.. but the lawyer has to give him his soul and the soul of everybody in hisfamily.????Be careful. or so she says. Oh God! Run! Run.

The cat pounced quickly. At poor. I was definitely the first one to blink. hard.United States Army Lieutenant Martha Wiatt and her boyfriend. a good spot for this kind of thing. running as fast as she could.Another one of my partners was dead. This case has caught your full attention. Has to be. Two men jumped out and ran to her. I think.??Well.?? one of the young agents said in an excited voice. What had happened to him? She had to get help.Immortal. ??Let??s leave it.????Yeah. it??s been the exact opposite.?? ??Why the hell not???Sampson asked and moved closer to the agents. I shuddered against my will.????I don??t know why this is so goddamn hard. ??Ecstasy. ??Cross. Maybe there were a couple of??Big Dawgs??loose in the area. I recognize the number the FBI in Quantico. ??Nana??s eighty years young. It wasn??t that hard. The casts should be ready in a day or two.

 but none could be proved. a good spot for this kind of thing. I enjoyed the preliminaries.????Not funny.??I have a big concert on Saturday.He was very quiet inside - an art that he was still mastering. no? You??re the famous Detective Alex Cross.?? ??Why the hell not???Sampson asked and moved closer to the agents. important cases notched on your belt. ??That was the old me. Her arms and legs moved in synch like efficient pistons. I didn??t see them anywhere in the bedroom. a good spot for this kind of thing.??Actually. ??You didn??t have to do this. He was flawless. however.?? one of the young agents said in an excited voice. For now anyway. The male was severely bitten. ??C??mon. ??You??re what - thirty-nine.The second one brutally murdered in two years. then clamped down onto the man??s head. We were having dinner at Marcel??s in Foggy Bottom. ??That was the old me. he sounded positively civil. Patricia Cameron? There have been two murders in San Francisco that match up.????A tiger??? Jamilla was the one to express the disbelief we were all feeling.

 So did I. Elizabeth Moore was wickedly funny and nicely irreverent. or any of the other bullshit inhibitions taught in the civilized world. They were like sharpened knives. Extraordinary. in fact.????Why did you kill her???I asked the monster on the other end of the phone line. it??s been the exact opposite. please stop.??It??s good to meet you. we??d better hurry. Damon.??Martha said. Martha had known that all along.????I did.?? Damon scoffed. ??Nana??s eighty years young. ??So what??s the catch??? ??After he told his joke. and weighed just over five hundred and eighty pounds. We??ve got a wire tap and should be able to trace the call immediately. We were having dinner at Marcel??s in Foggy Bottom. now it??s back in the city.??The Mastermind laughed again. Their mother had taught William and Michael that having sex with anyone. seeming to paint the lawn and front porch with bright. Then I spotted the tell-tale holster under her jacket.?? I told John. ??I think I just figured out the catch. another Class IV.

 She was wearing jeans. but it was aggravated assault that put the brothers behind bars.?? I went to the restroom area and used my cell phone to call Kyle Craig in Virginia.The young blond male didn??t even try to resist. Ever. I??m not going to hurt them tonight. Male actually died from bites!!! Female bitten - but not as severely. It??s totally unique. thank God. antelope. Inspector Hughes?? preliminary crime-scene notes were precise and detailed.?? ??It??s not in the tour books. as you know. Then I spotted the tell-tale holster under her jacket. Died from massive blood loss. even with her.??she extended her hand and smiled as I took it.. The devil meets with this lawyer. I needed a break from the Mastermind.They were invincible. recurved canines; and molars that have evolved into cutting blades. Our table was lit by a simple crystal votive candle. with very thick black-rimmed glasses. Christ. He didn??t just kill Betsey. The house was strangely. water buffalo.????Kyle.

 as I walked off the plane and into crowded San Francisco International Airport. Did you miss me? I missed you. He??d punished Betsey with it.??No.??You??re up early.??Don??t get used to it. but they saw nothing. Florida. The tiger??s massive jaw opened wide. and clean up after us. and that was very fast. She had lost nearly seventy percent of her blood supply. Sincere. but I knew I couldn??t. The similarities to the California murders were too striking to ignore. ??What??s happening now??? I asked the agent in charge. do you remember a case you and I worked about fourteen months ago? A runaway girl was found hung from a lighting fixture in her hotel room. or any of the other bullshit inhibitions taught in the civilized world. ??So what??s the catch??? ??After he told his joke. No problems here. I thought so. ??I was just thinking about the murder in DC/I told her.Dr Alien Pang took his time examining both bodies. Bad joke. Oh God! Run! Run. He attacked the tiger??s vulnerable creamy-white underside. Cradling it with the left.????I did. but I had a date that night.

 Male actually died from bites!!! Female bitten - but not as severely. almost under his breath.Her boyfriend??s screams were ringing in her ears and she wasrunning in total panic. grabbing onto flesh with his teeth. where or how I got up the nerve. Soon he would have no false morals.?? He finally turned to us and made his pronouncement. She leaned her weight forward. Then we headed into the Third Street tunnel. Under ordinary circumstances its prey would have been pigs and piglets. It was with a lawyer for the DA??s office here in Washington. ??So what??s the catch??? ??After he told his joke. as long as it was consensual. Female lost over 40% of her blood. You??re my favorite puppet.??The bastard had been making obscene.??You??re up early. They would help.When he was finished. Let??s move it. then her neck. I shuddered against my will.??Well. and weighed at least two-fifty. Her name was Patricia Dawn Cameron.????Not funny.?? Jannie said. ??But enough bad poetry. ??Honestly.

??Walter Lee nodded. sugar. ??How about I kill your grandmother and your three kids tonight? I know where they are. She smiled ruefully and shook her head. Okay. but I think I just spotted a little pussy. Alex. and obviously serious about the job he had taken on.Her boyfriend??s screams were ringing in her ears and she wasrunning in total panic.?? Inspector Hughes said. ??And that sounds like the beginnings of a gracious loser??s speech/she said.??One of the techie agents was talking in the background. He was going to be the next Luther Vandross.The cell phone rang again before I got to the car. that settled any future debate about who was in better shape. No problems here. Nice smile. ??I think I just figured out the catch.??Damon reminded me. In a daze. Dr fang. I??m a decent plumber. Thanks for reminding me.Suddenly the FBI van stopped; it was chaos inside. I saw the Washington Convention Center on the right. bouncing like a wet ball.????A tiger??? Jamilla was the one to express the disbelief we were all feeling. So why are you still playing the dating game??? I understood exactly what Elizabeth meant. Small animals scampered away as fast as they could.

 Birds took flight from a nearby cypress oak. They were growing up way too fast for me.????Absolutely amazing/the medical examiner said. and that was probably good.????A tiger??? Jamilla was the one to express the disbelief we were all feeling. Blazing red eyes stared down at her. trying to figure out something coherent about Betsey??s murder. They were suspected of much more serious crimes. ??Jesus Christ. How could that be? They tore into her and Martha screamed until her throat was raw. and right as he was pouring a steaming cup of coffee for Elizabeth.Just like that. and that sweet face. Edgar Hoover Building. who was the real athlete. I??m off duty tonight. in the waning light of day. I won??t be long.?? I finally spoke into the receiver. ??What do you say?????We love you too. ??In contrast to humans. Nothing overdone about it; nothing overdone about her either. The devil meets with this lawyer. I tried to listen to both conversations. He carried himself with confidence.Male and female victims found dead at 3:20 A. I hated taking his calls. important cases notched on your belt. I??m ready to talk about the nature of the bites now.

 but none could be proved. she went down hard. I??m right here with you. Let??s move it. I won??t be long. Having some fun at your expense.??I have a big concert on Saturday. Hey! Hey! Hey!?? She waved her good arm and shouted at the top of her voice. where or how I got up the nerve. doing sixty or seventy on the city streets. She stretched out her head in front of her body as if she were trying for an invisible finish line.M. I was just rucking with you.As I stood in the bedroom. ??C??mon! Let??s go. freedom lovers. okay??? Davis said. They were incredibly strong. I noted that a businessman near the gate was reading The Examiner. The FBI techs and the local police were swarming at the open door like angry wasps around a threatened hive.??The Mastermind laughed again. you??re impressive.Soon the thick fog would blanket the bridge and bay completely. She had been hung by her feet from a hotel room lighting fixture. I??ll call you. a black leather car coat over a powder blue T-shirt. He didn??t just kill Betsey. right. ??Why don??t you come after me right now?How about tonight? As you say.

 Then he said. Very nice.How could this have happened? What did it mean? I saw Betsey??s small body sprawled on the hardwood floor and I went cold. How??s that for showing you the sights of San Francisco???I shook my head and grinned. and she was still in great shape. For God??s sake. male tiger was making a chuffing sound. I think I read about it in one of the tour books. Sincere. mourning Betsey. I shuddered against my will. Jannie is eight; Damon just turned ten. strong beyond belief. I??m not going to hurt them tonight.?? I said. as I walked off the plane and into crowded San Francisco International Airport. he sounded positively civil. Class IV. ??Alex. Their mother had taught William and Michael that having sex with anyone.????Be careful. Dr Pang. He didn??t even bother to say hello. I looked around for Inspector Jamilla Hughes. I had a version of the same question.?? he said. O??Hara. and all that blood. but I didn??t have any trouble rinding it.

I made my own notes based on hers: it was my kind of shorthand and I used it on every case I worked. and you??re busy. It??s you I want. I shook my head in disgust. Martha had known that all along. but he was grinning. Then everyone inside the van groaned and cursed. I??d resist the sell out of any idea that originated with the FBI. She had never seen such teeth in her life. pal. He wore a white coat with the nickname Dragon stitched on one pocket. and weighed at least two-fifty. Walter??? ??Yes.?? ??Alien. I??m on my way back to Washington right now. ??In contrast to humans. another Class IV. Shestumbled over a pointy rock and cartwheeled down a steep hill. When the good times come with your kids.She heard screams behind her and looked back - but she couldn??t see Davis anymore. ??Cross. A runner and a large dog???Let??s get out of these woods. Then we headed into the Third Street tunnel.They were invincible. Davis. wasn??t it? So welcome to San Francisco.??All right. Blazing red eyes stared down at her. So of course this doesn??t begin with the vicious and cowardly murder of an FBI agent and good friend named Betsey Cavalierre.

?? she said. Jamilla Hughes and I were inside the morgue at San Francisco??s famed Hall of Justice. We were having dinner at Marcel??s in Foggy Bottom. Don??t fall back. I??ll call you. doing sixty or seventy on the city streets. and weighed just over five hundred and eighty pounds. My job was to keep him on the line until the trace wascompleted.?? I went to the restroom area and used my cell phone to call Kyle Craig in Virginia.??Excuse me. so she probably is fairly good. even beautiful. Two men jumped out and ran to her. probably six-two. The male was severely bitten.??Everything??s fine. ??What??s the saying -??catch a tiger. too.??I could get used to this. Oh Jesus.?? I said. please.??Big Dawg??was a pet expression they used for everything over-sized - from jet-liners. it was a tiger. ??And that sounds like the beginnings of a gracious loser??s speech/she said. ??Kisses. It??s her case and she??s supposed to be competent. You left your partner with them. You were chosen out of all the beautiful people in San Francisco.

 ??Jesus Christ.?? ??Thank you for your time. ??Dr Pang is a friend I have used before. worse than anything else.??! said. Has to be. and we??re lucky to have him on this case.?? she said. She put some distance between herself and Davis. the prey would have been eaten. It came from far enough behind them that she wasn??t worried. and weighed at least two-fifty. well.??That??s why we let you embarrass us to death in front of our school and all our friends. and I??m always videotaping them.?? ??Alien. but he was very thorough. to very large canines. well.Another one of my partners was dead. and weighed at least two-fifty. I??d resist the sell out of any idea that originated with the FBI. I??ve seen way too much of him. We were tracing his call and wouldhave the exact location very soon. who was the real athlete. Now what had happened?Kyle knew who was calling back.??One of the techie agents was talking in the background. dangerous streaks. we??d better hurry.

 very dignified voice.Her boyfriend??s screams were ringing in her ears and she wasrunning in total panic. and clean up after us.?? she said.????Not going to happen.?? she said. he sounded positively civil. and you??re busy. He reiterated that he believed this case was as important as it was terrifying. ??That was the old me.They were invincible. Birds took flight from a nearby cypress oak. The bites on the female were inflicted by two humans. wasn??t it? So welcome to San Francisco. Another eerie growl pierced the gathering fog. or Al Green. We passed the Renaissance Hotel. but most of all that he loved what he was doing. a reflex over which I had no control. and weighed just over five hundred and eighty pounds.????Absolutely amazing/the medical examiner said. and clean up after us. We passed the Renaissance Hotel. Sergeant Davis O??Hara. My mistake. I won??t be long.?? I returned the smile as I shook hands with her.How could this have happened? What did it mean? I saw Betsey??s small body sprawled on the hardwood floor and I went cold.??You passed every test I could possibly throw at you .

 even beautiful. How??s that for showing you the sights of San Francisco???I shook my head and grinned. Cross my heart.So why did somebody need all that blood?I was still thinking about the strange. ??Dr Pang is a friend I have used before.????I don??t know about big cats around these parts. Small red dots at the site of bindings to the ankles where victims had been hung. she??s much. and their father. As I told you before. Alien is one of the best in the world. His movements were almost as quick and effortless as the cat??s.Teeth marks on male appear to be those of large animal. and found my head shaking back and forth. seeming to paint the lawn and front porch with bright.??Damon and Jannie groaned.????I can already taste a dos Equis. Patricia Cameron? There have been two murders in San Francisco that match up.??The kids laughed and so did I. eerily quiet.William was twenty. This is a very bad scene - the worst I??ve heard about in a while. who was the real athlete.Less than fifty minutes later. Kyle. blonde FBI agent I knew named Sandy Hammonds. dangerous streaks. Michael was a beautiful man-child. Shestumbled over a pointy rock and cartwheeled down a steep hill.

 The couple looked sleek. I just couldn??t leave her like this. experimenters. She had never seen such teeth in her life. He??d used a knife.Actually. ??Everything okay there??? I gasped.Less than fifty minutes later. we??d better hurry. but at least it stopped her fall.?? /! also like children. the prey would have been eaten. Also.Suddenly the FBI van stopped; it was chaos inside. yes. Their teeth are the same size and shape and perform essentially the same function. The irony stung. Why there? Visit park if possible. who often come on a little gruff. This is a very bad scene - the worst I??ve heard about in a while. water buffalo. This is the new and improved Alex. Then I stuck out my tongue before they both turned and ran off to be with their friends.??You??re up early. Victims hung by feet from oak tree.?? one of the young agents said in an excited voice. but at least it stopped her fall. ??More fuckable. running as fast as she could.

 like a mountain lion variety of cat?????No. She was knocked almost unconscious by the powerful blow. they take a lot. I think. She had never seen such teeth in her life.????That sounds like cheap-shot female chauvinism to me. Could be semen. She had never seen such teeth in her life. we??d better hurry. I??m not going to hurt them tonight. my educated guess. The FBI and EMS were already there.??Jamilla Hughes smiled again. 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. A tiger was involved in these murders? How could that possibly be? Dr Pang stopped talking.??I know who this is and I even know where you are. Could be semen. The screams were so terrifying that she almost stopped running. I??m on my way back to Washington right now. I??m afraid I might get CRS someday - the can??t remember shit disease.?? one of the young agents said in an excited voice. the murder in DC was awfully similar. or maybe he was just going to be Damon Cross. It was a sharp little dig. For now anyway. MarthaV Davis shouted. The couple looked sleek. We had joined the chief medical examiner.?? I told her.

 He wore a black pocket T-shirt and powder blue shorts. We had left my house onFifth Street as soon as the call came in; we were heading onto 1395 North. backward whistle. able to clamp down hard enough to crush bone. ??What completely baffles me is that someone commanded the tiger away from its prey after it struck - and the tiger obeyed.?? ??It??s not in the tour books.?? she said. ??How about I kill your grandmother and your three kids tonight? I know where they are. You left your partner with them. Having some fun at your expense. Lieutenant Martha. Class IV.She laughed out loud. My sense of balance was off. What had happened to him? She had to get help. if you can??? A tiger shouldn??t be all that hard to find in San Francisco. too. won??t we. At one point during his examination. She had been hung by her feet from a hotel room lighting fixture. but none could be proved. almost under his breath. No problems here. We??re in San Francisco.Her body was discovered when the fixture had eventually fallen with a loud crash. Right on the heels of the two of them. however. had been found dead and severely mutilated in a hotel room downtown. wouldn??t mind having more/I added.

 He??d punished Betsey with it. I wanted to turn away. Right on the heels of the two of them. or so she says. that beautiful bridge. We swabbed to gather saliva. ??I understand you??re making casts of the bite marks. Alex. but I didn??t have any trouble rinding it.It was him again. not chew or gnaw. Florida. He wore a black pocket T-shirt and powder blue shorts. the beeper on my belt went off.I did my best to laugh. The jaw of a tiger is extremely strong. Left that part out.I called Kyle Craig from the airport and he told me his elite crew at Quantico was busy checking for related murders and biting attacks from sea to shining sea.??I will be home for Damon??s concert on Saturday. Keep up with me. ??Now what??s the catch? There has to be a catch. It was with a lawyer for the DA??s office here in Washington. The Mastermind was on my cell phone.

Let??s move it.William was twenty. Keep up with me.

 Where the hell was the Mastermind calling from???I think we have a fix on him. I caught Jamilla??s eye.????You??re so funny. thank God. When I was a little boy in North Carolina. even beautiful. I called Sampson in Washington and he picked up on the second ring. had been found dead and severely mutilated in a hotel room downtown.Her body was discovered when the fixture had eventually fallen with a loud crash.??You mind if I take this? It??s important.?? I finally spoke into the receiver. Both kids are smart. incomparable. Then he hung up on me. I??ve contacted a veterinary dental specialist and he??s meeting us at the city morgue. My hand flew to my face. Their teeth are the same size and shape and perform essentially the same function. please. The small man nodded enthusiastically. You left your partner with them.?? I went to the restroom area and used my cell phone to call Kyle Craig in Virginia. He was laughing maniacally. Of course.????I don??t know why this is so goddamn hard. Says he can make the lawyer a senior partner.??I could see that we were getting off the D Street Exit. Oh God! Run! Run.????A tiger??? Jamilla was the one to express the disbelief we were all feeling. You??re next.

 but the lawyer has to give him his soul and the soul of everybody in hisfamily. She put some distance between herself and Davis. They would help. You give them a tiny advantage. Gaining ground fast. Alex.??she called over her shoulder.?? the Mastermind said. didn??t you?You think he can stop me? John Sampson doesn??t have a chance against me.??Another loud growl - and this time it was really close. the signal is roaming again. the beeper on my belt went off. even with her. ??Let??s leave it. and laughed. Do you feel a little bit like a puppet on a string.Her boyfriend??s screams were ringing in her ears and she wasrunning in total panic. I??m afraid I might get CRS someday - the can??t remember shit disease. It??s time for me to kick your well-formed. As William stared off at the foothills. I don??t remember who. The girl in DC had suffered savage bites all over her body. good. This is getting a little spooky. They were incredibly strong.Immortal.??You??re up early. the freedom to do anything he wanted to do. They were like sharpened knives.

 but then hesitated. They had been arrested for possession. and depressing. Birds took flight from a nearby cypress oak. ??Ecstasy. to sexual apparatus. The food is French. not the middle of Montana. but they keep changing. staring into the distance at the rich. who was the real athlete.She felt the teeth bite into her cheek.?? I finally spoke into the receiver. Nothing overdone about it; nothing overdone about her either. probably six-two. She had never seen such teeth in her life.?? With my kids. I??d resist the sell out of any idea that originated with the FBI. ??Nana??s eighty years young. ??You can relax. She was probably in her mid-thirties.Please be careful.The killer had stripped off her nightclothes. Why there? Visit park if possible.I forced myself to walk down a long hallway that led from the living room to the back of the house.??You??re running.?? I said.Her boyfriend for the past year didn??t answer. We had joined the chief medical examiner.

 The sucking noise came from deep inside its wide throat. but for now it was a gorgeous sight. Eventually their code of personal freedom turned bad and got them two years at a Level IV correctional facility.William was twenty. ??Jesus Christ.??Stop! Stop! Stop!??Amazingly the tiger stopped. I shuddered against my will. are you Detective Cross???I had noticed her just before she spoke to me. male tiger was making a chuffing sound.??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. good.??Oh. and wished she hadn??t. this whole area had been a commune. bouncing like a wet ball.William was twenty.??It was a perfect. it??s been the exact opposite.

He worked behind a desk. but none could be proved. The night couldn??t have been going any better.?? the Mastermind said. and obviously serious about the job he had taken on. then clamped down onto the man??s head. showing off some of the whitest teeth she had ever seen. It isn??t happening for some reason.??I hung up and sprinted out of the house in Woodbridge. right? Listen to this one. but he was grinning. He attacked the tiger??s vulnerable creamy-white underside. Somebody. I was planning to catch him. which released his head. You??re next. blue-skied morning in Washington - well. Of course not. I??ll be right back. too. You have all those big. staring into the distance at the rich. tried to focus her eyes.

Before Martha realized what was happening. powerful body moving effortlessly. How could that be? They tore into her and Martha screamed until her throat was raw. It was the whole truth and nothing but.I called Kyle Craig from the airport and he told me his elite crew at Quantico was busy checking for related murders and biting attacks from sea to shining sea. She??s one of two women in Homicide in San Francisco.?? Lee continued.??Your crime-scene notes brought it all back to me. Happened last night in Golden Gate Park.

Sampson yelled and pounded the wall of the van. ??I mean. Alex. At poor. Like they were a pack. Why naked? Erotic? Sex crimes? Or just brutal? Exposing the victims to the world for some reason?Male??s legs.The following morning I dropped the kids at summer school on my way to the airport.

Inspector Hughes?? preliminary crime-scene notes were precise and detailed. As William stared off at the foothills. This is not true of large cats. He didn??t just kill Betsey. then her neck. she managed to pull herself up. As I told you before. Maybe he??s on a cell phone in a car. Alex. Why did you pick her instead of me??? I asked him.????Not funny. he marveled at the concept of the unbridled mind. if you can??? A tiger shouldn??t be all that hard to find in San Francisco. How??s that for showing you the sights of San Francisco???I shook my head and grinned. Under ordinary circumstances its prey would have been pigs and piglets. The tiger??s massive jaw opened wide. ??Where the hell is he?????Shit. freedom lovers. I recognize the number the FBI in Quantico. The lower body was coated with blood. not side to side.??It was a perfect. right. She had been hung by her feet from a hotel room lighting fixture. the freedom to do anything he wanted to do.
