At ten o’clock Janet Parsons entered the squad room with a number of small white sheets torn from a note pad. She walked directly to McGuire’s desk and sat down facing him. “Three calls,” she said softly. “Two regulars, guys who confessed earlier and said they wrote it.” She held a hastily scribbled note up for him. “One new guy. This one’s hot.”

McGuire took the paper from her and read a name, address and phone number.

“He’s a doctor out at Lynwood Institute. A psychiatrist. Lynwood’s a rest home, you know that?” McGuire shook his head, still reading the note. He could feel his pulse quickening and recognized the rush of excitement he felt when he crossed the threshold of a murder case. He was about to leave ignorance and confusion behind to enter a place where everything would be revealed, orderly and logical, waiting to be gathered up and presented to the world. “Says he had a patient,” Janet said. “A young blond guy who used to write the same words over and over again on walls, in books, everywhere.”

McGuire was up and slipping into his sports jacket, calling down the hall to Lipson.

“Says the kid had freedom to come and go,” Janet continued, raising her voice. “But that he didn’t come back last night.”

McGuire paused at the doorway to look back at her. “You’re a sweetheart,” he said. “Call the guy back and tell him we’re on our way. Now.” He handed the note to Lipson, who had emerged from their office. “This is it,” he said to his partner, “I’m betting the farm on it. This is it.”

“Joe,” Janet said quietly, standing and moving closer to him. “What about Vance? What’s going to happen to him?”

“He’ll be back,” McGuire answered as Lipson left ahead of him to get the car. “Hell, even Nixon came back, didn’t he?”
