If you want to know what is in a Moscow Special, go to Johannes Places on Tverskoy Boulevard and call the maître d’ “boy.” Crispin was feverish, in a cold sweat, incapacitated by stomach cramps, and was knelt over the toilet bowl in his suite vomiting a rather pretty pink color, with a towel wrapped diaper-style around his backside to catch the involuntary liquid squirts that accompanied every heave of his belly.

Asia was on the balcony watching the strangely balletic spectacle of the traffic negotiating a circle in the swirling snow while pale lights gleamed on the boles of the stark, bare trees. By the bed, the student that they had hired was diligently checking names from a list of hotels as she called them one by one asking to speak to Mr. Jordan Young. Asia herself had called the embassy, but the answering machine had been less than cooperative. She knew if they didn’t get any results from the hotels, she was going to have to start with the hospitals, and then…She couldn’t bring herself to think about it, and the desperation was beginning to reassert itself. She was feeling claustrophobic. Despite the dire weather, she decided she needed to get out.

She called to Crispin, “Crispin. I need to get out for a while. I won’t be long. Will you be okay?”

Crispin gave her a feeble half-wave over his shoulder, and launched into another spasm. Asia looked at the student, who shrugged, shook her head, and made a little circle motion with her hand. Asia nodded and walked out. She was wearing Crispin’s coat, which reached to her ankles, and his hat, which was falling over her eyes.

As she got to the revolving door, she pulled the collar up around her ears. A strand of fur poked her in the eyes, and she pushed her face into the lining to try to brush it out. That was why, as she negotiated the revolving door, she did not pay attention to the big black woman and the small white man who were in the opposite sector, nor did she notice the compact, dangerous-looking man with the face like granite in winter who was in the sector behind them, and it was also why Baby Joe did not recognize her.
