Franco knew Detective Blussah was right after he had finally tracked down the model agency he was looking for. It had been a real job to find it. The agency had a website but no address. He had to write a form letter. Leave his phone number. It took days. The police commissioner called him into his office to make certain ...

... That was something to go on.
“Okay. I think I’m done here. Thank you for seeing me. And thank you for your time, Ms. Solomon. Ladies.”

Not knowing where to start, Franco typed Ana Mari Caracas address into his search. The search turned up more than a million results for Ana Mari. Bloody Internet. Franco called himself an idiot for even trying it. Face scanning didn’t find anything. That was a little odd. It wasn’t easy to avoid being in a databank. ...

... to let it rest. There were other cases to solve. He lived in a city gone to hell. He would tell Blussah about Angela. He had been right. Maybe she wasn’t dead. Hard to be dead and visiting the agency both.

Sally was out the door and swinging it shut.
“No. Wait. Caprice, get her.” ...

“Where we going.”
“Nova Scotia.”
“Where’s that.”

Zara and Suzanna were invited to a party. It promised to be a big party. The older students from school, Brain’s friends and friends of friends. Maybe older college boys. With cocaine. It was one of the benefits of being rich. Good cocaine and ...

... Suzanna took the glass and tried it while Brains waited in overdone but sweet anticipation.
“Perfect.”
“Great. Now we are set to smoke a joint. I know a fine place to smoke. Shall we.”

Zara didn’t make it to the back yard. After seeing all the people in the house, she didn’t want to stay. She could control herself if she had too. She didn’t have to. Suzanna had her friends to talk to. Zara would just go for a ride and come back ...

... per hour. There would be tickets to pay; maybe someone would lose their license. She tapped the computer looking for some music. She settled on Black Keys. She didn’t know who they were. It was most recently played. She liked it. It was like the sound of a well-tuned engine. From an old-fashioned gasoline powered engine. Zara smiled and drove faster.

The police didn’t have much to go on. They had a few photos of Sally when she was still Andrea. The most resent photo of Andrea was three years old. They had a photo of a photo from the wall of a model agency in Caracas. There she was ...

... “What do you mean.”
“Oh. Other than you haven’t cursed or thrown any tantrums since you’ve been back.”
“Oh, fuck off. And let’s go. We have a job to do.”

Zara knew that if she opened her eyes she would not be lying next to Suzanna. She didn’t know what dead felt like, she didn’t believe in a heaven and hell, she hadn’t much choice, for even good Anthropophagi were certain to go to hell. She ...

... “She called me at 11:36 and said she couldn’t find you or reach you. She wanted to know if you had come home.”
“I need to go home, Dad.”
“I’ll go see how your mother is doing with the arrangements.”

Zara was lucky she was still alive. A big part of her luck was due to the safety features of modern automobiles. She was wearing a good seat belt in a good seat. Without them she would have died. She learned about that. She was brought up ...

As much as Sally enjoyed some quiet time with her friends working around the trailer and playing a time in history that included wood cutting and chopping, collecting food, fishing, she didn’t want to spend the winter in a trailer east of nowhere. She ran every morning after stretching. She worked out for more than ...

... “It would certainly drive home a point.”
Sally laughed and laid her head on Billy’s shoulder.
“I’m going to miss this place.”
“Me too.”
