CHAPTER SEVEN

McCann was at the house in twenty minutes, and found Beth in the living room, arguing with two Emergency Medical Service technicians.

"She won't go to the hospital," the first EMT explained. "Said she had to wait for you."

"What happened?" McCann asked. The question was directed to the EMS personnel, but he was looking at Beth, who was sitting on the arm of the couch, evidently in excellent health but almost unbelievably dirty.

"Damned if we know," the first man explained. "Some neighbor called in and reported someone trying to climb over the wall out there. Told our dispatcher his dog was poisoned last month, so now he calls in everything that looks suspicious, no matter how minor. Said whoever was crawling over the wall kept falling back every time he tried, like he was stoned."

Adam nodded, and shot Beth a look that made her gulp.

"When we showed up, this woman here was sitting out there in the back yard, looking kind of dazed. Doesn't seem to be the one the witness called in about, though. He said it was probably a guy, dressed all in black like some of terrorist. This lady here swears she hasn't been drinking and that she's not hurt, but she won't let us check her out," the second EMT added. "You want to take over here—officially? "

"Yeah, I'll handle it," Adam said. "Thanks."

"No problem." The first man leaned closer, and whispered. "Is she okay? Mentally, I mean? She's been talking kind of …well, nutty, frankly."

"She's fine," Adam said. "That's just the way she talks sometimes."

The two men gathered up their equipment and left. A minute later, McCann and Beth were alone in the living room. "Okay, what happened?" he asked.

"Nothing," she said.

"Let me see you stand up," he ordered, not too gently.

Beth shook her head. "In a minute. I was down in the basement," she lied, telling herself that what she was saying was—strictly speaking—true. Or had been, the night before. "And I sort of tripped on the stairs. I just need to catch my breath."

He pointed to her right foot. "What's wrong with your foot?"

"Foot?" she asked, brightly.

McCann sighed. "Yeah. Your foot. It looks twisted. You can't walk, can you?"

"Don't be ridiculous, " she scoffed. "Of course I can walk." She struggled to her feet, took a tentative step and stumbled directly into his waiting arms.

Fifteen minutes later, he carried her into the emergency room at Merritt General Hospital, where they learned that the "great toe" of her right foot was broken—and badly dislocated.

When the doctor left the room for a minute, McCann leaned over and asked the question Beth had been dreading: "Okay, Batgirl, where'd you stash the black outfit?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," she hissed, and added a small moan for effect. "Can't you see I'm in pain?"

"Right now, it's only your toe that hurts. You want to add a blistered butt?"

Beth groaned. "Oh, all right! I stuck it under one of Felix's stupid flower pots."

After the toe had been realigned, Beth responded to the powerful sedative they'd given her by going out like a light.
