drove, she ate. Neither talked, yet for once Keelin didn't sense any negative tension emanating from Tyler. He seemed to have put aside his suspicions and resentments for the moment and was concentrating on the music from a CD. Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

Keelin was taking a last sip of tea by the time they arrived at the first of their six corner intersections in sight of an elevated structure.

"Here we are," he announced, turning down the music. "Clybourn, Halsted and North Avenue."

Keelin looked around. "Too upscale," she pronounced.

And the next neighborhood was too poor, too near the city's projects.

They kept on and soon crawled northwest on Milwaukee, one of the angled streets, trapped in the morning rush hour. Keelin's mind wandered to Helen.

"Your ex-wife's vehicle wasn't in the drive this morning, either." She wondered if it had been there at all during the night, or if Helen had found that male company Tyler had suggested. "Is Helen an early riser or did she give up on staying at your house?"

"Helen gives up on anything that takes work."

Like their marriage? she wanted to ask.

"Then you haven't heard from her?" she queried instead.

"Not a word. And that worries me. She wouldn't have stuck her nose in where it didn't belong for nothing."

"What do you think she hoped to get out of the situation?"

"Maybe she decided to sell her story to one of your cousin's competitors."

Keelin chose to ignore the reference to Skelly. "You don't think she could simply be worried about her own daughter?"

"Helen?" Tyler laughed. "Now that would be a switch."

She couldn't believe his hard-nosed attitude. "You don't think she loves Cheryl?"

"Helen loves Helen," Tyler said bitterly. "She always managed to take good care of number one. She never burned to be a part of her daughter's life before, and I seriously can't imagine anything's changed."

"If she was so self-absorbed, why did you marry her?"

"I was young and foolish. Love can blind a person. Once."

Keelin was about to argue the point when she glimpsed two free-standing telephones at the edge of the sidewalk to her right. Her pulse thrummed as she glanced around and noted the shop she should have remembered.

Just then, the Jaguar slid to a smooth stop at a major three street intersection.

"Anything familiar here?" Tyler asked, his voice neutral. He was obviously expecting another negative reply.

"The tatoo parlor," she murmured.

"What?" He glanced back the way they'd come.

Then, breath caught in her throat, Keelin looked around transfixed. Her gaze flew from building to building, from the elevated structure to the newspaper stand. Her heart pounding, she nodded.

"Keelin?"

"This is it!" She peered behind her at the familiar landscape. "Cheryl rang you from those telephones we just passed."

"You're certain?"

"Positive! I didn't remember the tatoo parlor until I actually saw it."

The street light changed and they were forced to move ahead. Tyler wasted no time in finding a parking spot.

As he fed the meter several quarters, she asked, "So what do we do now?"

"Let's backtrack. Maybe you'll remember something else that'll lead us to the building where she's being held.
