CEE CEE SWEPT the room with a quick glance, her senses on high alert. While she and Max were playing kissy face, the killer had been here, within reach.

Babineau gripped her elbow and pulled her down into the seat next to him before she drew any attention. Like that wouldn’t happen. She still had on her club face, a black mask painted around her eyes like a Maori tattoo—so bold, no one looking would remember the woman beneath it. Those same dark forked flames covered the scars on one shoulder and slid down to mid biceps. With the red wig and scarlet lips, she looked like some deadly black magic princess. She’d changed into a short denim skirt and plunge-front beige top that didn’t conceal the lacy fuchsia bra she wore under it. Another reason for none of the patrons to recall her features.

She turned to him, a fire of excitement in her eyes. “How do you know he was here?”

“Savoie said something about a sweet smell. He said you’d know.”

“Where is he?”

“Savoie? Gone. How does he know? How can he tell?”

She leaned close to be heard over the pounding music, filling Babineau in on the trip to see Marjorie Cole in the morgue. He had no comment. Nor did he question her.

Cee Cee forced down the frustration of being so close only to have him slip away. “Babs, talk to the guys on the door; find out who just left. Get descriptions if you can, especially if they were regulars. Tell them somebody lifted your wallet or something.”

“Where are you going?”

“I need to talk to Savoie. This is the closest we’ve gotten and I don’t want to miss anything. Maybe there’s something more, something he might not think is important.”

If Babineau read anything into her desire to chase after her lover, he kept it wisely to himself. “I’ll see if I can get one of the waitresses to go out to breakfast with me. Maybe if I play the jilted boyfriend, she’ll feel sorry enough for me to make me feel better with a swap of some information.”

With his smooth, unthreatening charm and good looks, the runaway schoolgirls would drool all over him. Was that how their killer did it? Lulling them into lowering their guards, into trusting him?

The clock was ticking on Kelly Schoenbaum. Cee Cee was damned sure he wasn’t bothering with the sweet talk now.
