The thin boy grabbed Blanche and half dragged her along with him while Bear dispatched the punk who was still wrestling him with a thump on the head. His assailant crumpled to the ground and Bear ran to the thin boy and gathered Blanche in his arms.

“She’s blacked out!” said the thin boy.

Bear moaned, searching her pale, blank face. “Get a taxi. It’s going to be pretty hot around here soon.”

“Righto.” The boy jumped into the street and signaled a passing yellow cab. It pulled over obligingly.

Bear gave the driver Blanche’s address, then sank back into the cushions. “What’s up now?” he asked the thin boy.

The boy’s face was pained. “It’s trouble. I can’t tell you here.”

“Right.” Bear stared ahead as Blanche’s street came in sight, but when they turned onto it, there was a police car parked in front of the Brier’s house.

Bear blinked, licked his lips. He glanced at his companion, and saw the same consternation on his face that he had felt at the sight of the patrol car.

“Driver,” Bear said suddenly. “Change of address. We’re going to Manhattan.”

The driver turned around, squinted at them suspiciously, then shrugged and turned away with a grunt. He obviously didn’t want to get involved.

The cab passed the police car in front of the Briers’ door, streaked down to the end of the block, turned right, and was off again into the night.
