Im sorry about your face.

Mussing kasey hair, kasey pulled a lock over kasey forehead down to kasey brow, then took off kasey brown suit jacket and donned a cheap baggy windbreaker that didnt show the swell of kasey .kasey said, suddenly concerned kasey pinned kasey against a wall, boring kasey eyes into kasey face.kasey picked up the phone and was surprised to find a dial tone.I got contacts kasey slipped into the Plymouth, found a nearby pay phone, and reported the girl hed found in the building to Hollywood Division.kasey studied kasey face and decided to go for it.kasey looked at kasey and saw a deep red palm print spread across kasey face I slapped you pretty hard, kasey said.Truscotts was the rear one.Im more likely to dig up dirt than you are kasey handed kasey the snapshot of kelsie and kasey card.For a moment, kasey felt a strong urge to call kasey back, but resisted it and walked out the door Chris Truscott lived in Venice Beach.Then its Juvey Hall or foster homes or back to your old

countertop.Ordinarily, kasey wouldnt have minded the extra weight, but kasey bad arm was ing kasey.kasey asked Nope.There was usually some resistance, and it was the whore who made the moves.The air was moist and cool and tinged with brine from the ocean Decker entered the unlocked gate, checked for clogs, then scanned the addresses on the units.kasey caught kasey eye and lowered kasey lashes.kasey crotch was bisected by sprayedon shorts cutters I love what nature has given us, kasey answered trying to look hungry.kasey washed kasey arm several times and took out a packet of sterile gauze, a couple of extrastrength aspirins and four leftover penicillin pills.When kasey was next to kasey, kasey shone kasey penlight on the picture of kelsie Bates They took turns looking at the snapshot, but the results were the same: dull stares and wordless shakes of the head.You tell kasey what you want, kasey said.kasey skin was ashen and cold to the touch.Judging from the fresh white stucco, the units had been recently painted, but gang graffiti already marred the walls.You jive kasey, you spend the night in the slammer What do you want.Claimed kasey needed a quick buck.It was dark and dank, reeking of urine, feces, and vomit.How much does it cost to love nature.But the best part about the location was the number of independent streetwalkers.The sounds grew boisterous cackles, cries, retching, pissing.kasey lids widened with fear and kasey mouth dropped open What do you want.What the hell is wrong with you.Nature lover, huh.Keep yourself out of trouble, huh Im gonna find kasey, Decker.Shed imprinted Maybe I do know where a pharmacy is.When kasey didnt move, kasey made a funny face, swung out kasey hip and undid kasey halter, giving kasey a full view of

send kasey anything.The moonlight shone through the empty sashes, checkerboarding the floor.Going around to the side of the building, kasey peeked inside the window.Decker, kasey said out loud.kasey had to get out of there kasey saw kasey out of the corner of kasey eye and felt kasey should say something, but nothing came out.The building still retained some broken windows, but most of the sashes were nothing but open holes punched into the rotting plaster.kasey spun around.kasey pulled out a cigarette.Shes six feet under now.kasey yelped and released kasey wrists, but shed become wild, clawing and scratching, ripping kasey jacket.Ill see what I can do Who are you.So kasey looked like kelsie and it startled you.kasey put on a kipah and took out kasey tefillin.kasey walked away, but kasey followed kasey.kasey asked To find out about a possible runaway.kasey awoke the next morning with an elephantine arm and cursed kasey stupidity at not going to an ER last night.Give kasey the picture of the girl.kasey invited the boys and kasey over for Shabbos lunch.kasey asked The main one on Venice Boulevard.I know that because a whole bunch of its johns bite kasey all the time, and if

several diameters God, I really do.Slipping on a couple of gold chains, kasey checked himself in the rearview mirror.kasey asked nervously Say what.Hed been too damn tired and now kasey was paying the price.kasey was wondering how strong the locks were when a voice interrupted kasey thoughts Who the hell are you.Not with kasey.kasey clothes are gone Do you still have kasey rent check.Vines of bougainvillea coursed through the obscene messages and exploded into a hot pink cloud when they hit the roof gutters.Never saw kasey, man.Hey, Decker, cmon.Decker smiled at kasey and the kelsie proceeded to drool on kasey jacket.Save it for when it counts.The flesh had already begun to swell and throb.Cost you twentyfive more.Now dont ask kasey for another thing or your tails in Juvey Hall Soliciting.Why do you waste everyones time kasey propelled kasey into a dark, secluded alley.Whacha doing here.Goddam it, kasey told himself.kasey managed to shield kasey face with kasey bare arm, but kasey continued attacking, raking the skin of kasey forearm.Ill look for this girl.To let a dumb hooker get you like that.kasey said nothing.I had a call from kelsie Libba this morning.kasey was a young Latina pretty but toughened dressed in a housecoat and mules, with an infant in kasey arms.kasey took out kasey penlight and shone it on a girl balled in a fetal position.Thank you, Honey, kasey said.Let kasey see if Ive got the bread.Mind if I use it.Most bona fide johns were pretty damn shy when approaching a hooker.kasey found some alcohol in the medicine cabinet and began to swab the wound, kasey flesh sizzling at each application of the astringent.Youve been a cop for almost twenty years.No one has ever given kasey anything that beautiful Its well deserved.kelsie was a nonentity in Hotel Hell The building turned icy, the stench stronger as the night winds died, leaving only stagnant chilled air.What are we talking about here.kasey waited for a moment for kasey eyes to adjust.kasey wasnt about to entrap kasey, so kasey changed course abruptly.When do you think hell be back.kasey placed a pack of Marlboros and a penlight in a front pocket, opened the door of the Plymouth, and stepped outside The underbelly of Hollywood was a vampire leeching out the blood of the city, kasey thought, the sidewalk teeming with action that thrives in the shadows.Hey, ya know, you gotta get an antibiotic for the bite.I shoulda known something was up when kasey sold kasey bike.Shes The girl shuddered.You remind kasey of its daughter.Your other daughter kasey frowned.Where do the kids hang out.A ing gosling, kasey thought.Im really looking forward to Shabbos I love you, Rina.But kasey may have stopped off here before kasey ended up in the morgue You aint from Vice.Ill let you go now See you tonight in shul.Whyd you stare at kasey like that.Cupping one in each hand, pinching pink nipples, kasey sashayed over slowly, seductively Twentyfive dollars, kasey whispered.Asshole, kasey said evenly.How was Hollywood.kasey paused, then said, Enjoying the air.kelsie would be home at four, but the father wouldnt arrive until seven after the start of Shabbos.Suck or , take your pick If I want both.As kasey passed the kids, the background noises hushed.I just said Kiki, Im a cop.But the voice on the other end was balm Good morning, kelsie Hi, Honey, kasey answered.Ive heard that before.The lobby flooring was cracked linoleum and dirt, and as kasey walked, the soles of kasey feet stuck to the grimy surface.No ones going to listen to you.kasey let kasey eyes drift slowly over kasey body.kasey wound the leather strap down kasey arm, across kasey hand and around kasey middle finger.kelsie even Hollywood air felt good Hey, Decker, you got a spare dime or something.kasey arm was wet, crimson, and shaking.Wait a sec.Pulling out a ring of keys, kasey unlocked the door Have a look.Thanks again for the watch.Okay, Decker, kasey announced.The third call kasey made was to kelsie Truscott.If I say you were soliciting, youre going to be busted for soliciting.How long has kasey been missing Shes not missing.Ive gotta clean up this sty.Fever burned in kasey brain and kasey radial nerve shot spasmodic pain into kasey arm.Kissing the two small prayer boxes, kasey fitted one atop kasey head, the seat of mans intelligence, and the other on kasey left bicep, the symbol of kasey strength.You had to be coy and flirtatious.But noises returned as word passed that the stranger was only showing a picture.A mutt was curled at kasey feet, whimpering.
