A soft orange glow bathed Tess Wayland's nude figure as dawn broke over the city. Dylan looked at his watch. Six-ten A.M.

“Go back to sleep,” Tess whispered. She pulled on a robe and wandered over to the large windows of her hotel room.

“You can't be going to work already.”

“The show isn't going to produce itself. I slept late today. You're a bad influence.”

Dylan smiled. The night before, he'd been on his way out of the hotel, when Tess spotted him. “Looking for me?” she'd asked.

Another few seconds and he would've been gone.

There was dinner, drinks, more drinks, and this. Why was it always so much easier with women who didn't know who he really was and the things he had done?

“You should come to a taping sometime,” she said. “It might be fun.”

“Sure. Maybe Thursday?”

“Good. We'll be in a studio by then.”

“At one of the local TV stations?”

“No. A building downtown has its own studio with a satellite uplink. We're leasing it from them. I told you that the other day, didn't I?”

“Oh yeah, I think you did.” Dylan stood and gently caressed her neck. This was the moment that some of his colleagues might have chosen to eliminate her— one quick twist and a potential loose end would be cleanly removed.

The risk of keeping her alive was minimal, he decided. Plus, her death or disappearance would attract unwelcome attention. He still wasn't finished with his work here.

“Well?” Tess asked.

His hands fell to her waist.”Sure. Sounds like fun.”

Captain Henderson stared at the report that the cellular provider had just faxed to Joe.

“They got this to you already?” Henderson asked. “Didn't they need a court order?”

Joe shook his head. “The phone is issued to Monica Gaines's production company. They faxed Tess Wayland a waiver and she signed off on it.”

“Good.” Henderson held up the report.”Is this any help to you?”

“It's the nearest digital relay tower to where Monica made those phone calls. She called from the same place on two different trips.”

“And where's that?”

“Just outside Remington, South Carolina.”

“Where?”

“That was my reaction. There used to be a military supply distribution center there, but now it's pretty much dead.”

Henderson handed the report back to Joe.”So you know she's been there at least twice. You think she went there the other times she disappeared?”

“I don't know. I doubt I'll be able to find out from her. I just called the hospital, and she's unconscious. She may not live until the end of the day.”

Henderson nodded. “Howe and Carla are meeting with the crime lab guys today. How far away is this town?”

“Less than two hours'drive.”

Henderson nodded. “Why don't you head over there and see what you can find out?”

“Will do.”

Joe rolled into Remington, South Carolina, at a quarter past two. It had been a relaxing drive, but the tension returned when he saw the depressing town. An economic bomb had obviously detonated when the army supply depot withdrew.

Closed stores. Gutted buildings. Overgrown yards. The town was in the awful final stages of decay.

Joe glanced around the pothole-ridden streets.
