Heading north Service looked at his friend. “Jesus, Cherry, can’t you drive any faster?”

“Hey, this ain’t like Detroit—like, we’ve got real speed limits.”

“You know anything about monsters?” he asked his friend.

“Like Creeper from Black Lagoon and all dat shit?”

“Like the windigo.”

“No, man, I don’t know no monster like that.”

Service telephoned Friday while they were in transit.

“Thought you fell off the edge of the earth,” she said, teasing.

“Lecair committed suicide, and I was ten feet away, pistol in her mouth. We can’t find her kids. She drew a lipstick figure where she died, red stick figure.”

“Windigo?”

“Looked like it to me,” Service said. “I didn’t really get to talk to her. She went hinky right away, said something about losing one and not losing another.”

Both of them went silent until Friday said, “Gut?”

“Only one kid made it out here.”

“Grady, get her DNA to me ASAP.”

Service said, “Damn, that fits. I’m thinking maybe she lost one kid there and ran out here to hide the other one.”

“We have an unidentified child in the morgue,” Friday said. “Maternal mitochondrial DNA is the genetic link to mom.”

“I’ll bring the results myself,” Service said.

“I especially like the myself part,” his girlfriend grumped. “It’s about damn time.”
