"Maybe the albino teleported out of here," said Rosowitz. "Jeez, look at all this stuff," he said.
"Sculptures, art, guy's even got a fuckin' suit of armor standing here."
"Never mind the bric-a-brac," said Megan. "Check out that back room." She jerked her gun toward the
door leading to the den.
"Cover me," said Rosowitz.
She took up position standing by the suit of armor, where she could duck behind it for protection, and
leveled her gun at the door.
"Go."
Rosowitz threw open the door and quickly stepped back while Megan covered the opening, then
entered the den.
"Nothing in here," said Rosowitz, coming out a moment later.
"There's nobody upstairs," the others said, coming down.
"Chris, get out to the car, in case Andrews and Stein call in," said Megan. "The rest of you, search the
place."
"Look at this," said Stanley, picking up an unfolded map from the coffee table. "A map of the city,
marked off into sectors. And check this out. The locations of the murders are all marked. We've got 'em,

A quick search of the house followed. They tore the place apart.
"Looks like there were at least three or four of them staying here," said Mason, coming down from the

"Let me go, you neanderthal!" Broom protested, waving its spindly arms. "Put me down this instant!"
"Let it go," said Megan.
Chambers put Broom down.
"What's the meaning of this?" Broom demanded angrily. "What gives you the right to come breaking in
here?" And then it recognized Megan. "Oh . . . it's you. Little Miss Stormtrooper."
"Shut up," said Megan. "Where are they?"
"Who?"
