The Bone Collector Page #2

Synopsis: Quadripeligic ex-cop Lincoln Rhyme was looking forward to his assisted suicide when he got the news: some sicko was abducting people in a taxi and leaving them to die in particularly sadistic ways. With time counting down between each abduction and possible death, Rhyme recruits rather-unwilling Amelia Donaghy, haunted by her cop father's suicide and thinking she's next, into working the crime scenes to track down the killer.

So why not shut down Grand Central while

you're at it, hmm, Patrolman Donahue?

- Is that right?

- Donaghy.

- A rookie, I take it?

- No, sir.

Pretty dumb.

Captain, guess who

the vic turns out to be.

- Talk to me.

- Alan f***ing Rubin.

Listen, I don't want anybody

in this area except for the crime unit.

- Okay?

- Okay, Detective.

Knight to H-6. Check.

- You got company. Cops.

- Tell 'em I'm busy.

- They said it was urgent.

- Tell 'em I'm out running.

She's too polite for that, Linc.

Hey, looky who's here.

- I got a serious situation.

- It's going around, Paulie.

Chief Murphy sent me.

The good chief.

Hear about the couple at the airport,

got in a taxi yesterday morning?

- Never made it home.

- We don't watch the news anymore.

He used to read four papers a day,

tape all the news shows.

Yeah, and now I just hit

the rewind button. A-3.

Things never change.

Yeah, well, that was Alan Rubin

and his wife in that taxi.

Found him dead, buried,

shot in the face...

hand sticking out ofthe ground with his

wife's wedding band on his fi nger...

which was skinned to the bone.

She's still missing.

Excuse me whileyou catch up, okay?

Don't go too far, Thelma. These nice

gentlemen are leaving in 30 seconds.

Sounds likeyou gotyourself

an open-and-shut there, Paulie.

- I don't think so.

- Yeah?

A man worth millions found dead...

with his wife's wedding band

on his mutilated hand.

What does that tell you?

The doer is saying he's got her.

He's probably contacting the family

right now making a ransom demand.

- I would've been paged ifhe had.

- Checkyour batteries.

It's defi nitely a ransom.

Excuse me, Mr. Rhyme,

Kenneth Solomon.

I've read all your books--

Scene ofthe Crime...

at least a dozen times.

It's great to actually meetyou.

- Where doyou fi nd these guys?

- Theywanna workwith the best.

I guess nowyou're gonna ask me to

discuss the crime scene with you, huh?

In fact, we got a bunch

ofphysical evidence...

that doesn't exactly make sense.

Some seriouslyweird stuff.

It's in the report.

You okay?

- You okay?

- Out! Now!

- Anything we can do?

- Asses outta here now!

We're gonna getyou some air.

Come on, breathe for me, Linc.

I said, out!

Come on, deep breaths.

Deep breaths, come on.

Deep breaths. I'm getting a B.P. on you.

Come on now, breathe.

Look at me. Breathe.

Look at me. Deep breaths.

Come on, come on.

You've got to take this oxygen.

Come on, Rhyme,

staywith me.

Come on, you can do it.

Don't go out on me now.

Come on, look at me.

You okay?

I would be okay ifyour powers

ofresuscitation were less adept.

Not on my shift, all right.

Ifyou have a problem with that,
