the panlty for crossing the line ? i didn't want to know .
"i've been looking for the girls ," i said ." can't find them . are they inside with the police . ?"
sam shrugged . he repeated my question to the patrolwoman standing on the othere side of hbim . she shook her head , raised , raised herself on her toes , and whispered a couple of words toward his ear . damn , i thought , she 's flirting with him .
"don't know ," sam said to me .
i said ," what's going on inside the house ? you learn anything ?"
he put a hand on my back and led me a few steps away from the patrol officer ." that friend of carmel 's ? she had an LAPD detective call me with a status report on this . RP - older lady next door on the left - saw an intruder at the back door . that's how it started - she thought she saw a man go in a window in the back . the first explosion was from a gas wall heater near the front of the house . could have been deliberate - somebody may have screwed around with it . the second explosion was a flash bang from SWAT . the uniforms who responded to the initial call thought they might have a hstage situation and went in after the first explosion ." he shrugged ." they're no longer sure about the introducer theory , but they're thinking a woman inside maty have tried to kill herself . she was taken away by ambulance . she's okay . some minor burns , that's it ."
"that might be kanyn , sam . the grand canyon alummus . she has a history of dysthymia ."
he glares at me ." that's like a secret shrink code word for depression ? how do you know that ? "
"her roommates ." if the word "dysthymia " othered him. i wasn't about to tell him about the trichotillomania .
his jaw tensed ." something's up ," he said ." that's what i think ."
i gestured toward the cop ." would your new friend know where they took kanyn ?"
he walked over and said something to the officer in voice enough that i couldn't hear him.
