"Yeah. Sure."
"I guess she doesn't get to do that much."
"What?"
"The little kid. Emma. I guess she doesn't get to go to McDonald's."
"No." Lou ruffled his boy's hair. "I guess not."
It took only a few minutes to get Michael settled in with a
cheeseburger, fries, and a shake. Lou left his son in the booth to call
in. From the phone outside the window he could see Michael dousing more
ketchup on the burger. "Kesselring," he said. "I'll be in the station
in an hour."
"I got some bad news for you, Lou."
"What else is new?"
"It's Fletcher, your pizza man."
"Didn't he make it into L.A.?"
"Yeah, he made it in. Sent a couple of uniforms to pick him up this
morning for questioning. Seems they were about six hours too late. He'd
been dead that long."
"s.h.i.+t."
"Looks like a standard 0D. He had the works and some top-grade heroin.

Lou noted it down, swore again, and banged the receiver. He opened the
door, then to give himself a moment, leaned against it. Through the
window he could see his son cheerfully plowing through the cheeseburger.

she'd be out for the summer. She'd be able to see her father, and
Johnno and the rest. She'd be able to breathe without being told she
was breathing for G.o.d. She'd be able to think without being warned
about impure thoughts.
As far as she could see, the nuns must be full of impure thoughts or
else they wouldn't be so sure everyone else had them.
She would be going back to the real world for a few precious weeks. New
York. Emma closed her eyes a moment, trying to bring its noise, its
smells, its life into her quiet room. With a sigh, she propped her
elbows on her desk, slouching in a way that would have made Sister Mary
Alice crack her ruler. She didn't bend over the French verbs she was
supposed to conjugate, but looked out over the green lawns to the high
stone walls that closed the school off from the sinful world.
Not all the sinful world, she thought. She was full of sin, and was
grateful her roommate, Marianne Carter, was equally blighted. Her days
at Saint Catherine's would have been torture without Marianne.
