Tightrope Page #2

Do you eat drumsticks, mister?

- Need any help?

- Not on this one.

Who is it?

May I come in?

I heard you two, uh,

worked together.

Doing what?

As a sandwich.

One on the top and the

other on the bottom.

Well, what else did you hear?

That you liked it.

That you liked her,

but she split on you.

She developed a taste for cops.

She get close to any?

Cops don't get close to anybody.

Any of them come on to her?

They kept coming...

and coming. That's the

funny thing about cops.

Hmm?

You take a cop...

whose wife splits, hmm...

sooner..

Or later...

that cop...

will react like anybody else.

Hmm?

He'll start doing things...

he wouldn't have done before.

Hmm?

So, Block...

what happened to the

rest of the sandwich?

Somebody ate it.

You're 10 minutes late.

Yeah. Ten minutes after

he's down there...

he won't know the difference between

the big hand and the little hand.

Promise?

Trust me.

You're still awake.

- What's the matter?

- Can't sleep.

Oh. Well.

- Where did you go?

- To his house.

Oh.

- What's it like?

- Big.

- She ask about me?

- No, but I told her about you anyway.

Where did you go tonight?

Out to look for something.

Did you find it?

I found out one thing.

You know what it is?

That you should be in

bed, getting some sleep.

Hello?

- It looks like the same method.

- Go ahead.

So how old is this one?

He found her.

- Do you filter on that drain?

- Yeah.

Empty it.

How long has she been in here?

About an hour.

- Anybody in here with her?

- Not that I saw.

From the hot tub's drain.

And this is the brownie found

in Melanie Silber's apartment.

This is the mold I

made from her teeth.

The mold doesn't match

the impression.

I'll coat the bite-mark pattern on the

brownie and run it under the SEM.

We might get a reading that'll

match the killer's teeth.

Thirty calls already, three from a

Beryl Thibodeaux at the Rape Center.

Oh. Check on the specific days of the crimes,

meteorological reports, phases of the moon.

Would you check CID and find out if there's

similar m.o.'s? And check all 42s in the area.

Get a tail on that

hot-tub guy, would you?

Check out all sexual arrests in

the town for the last two weeks.

That goes for somebody who's been humping

sheep to some guy who's swinging his dick.

- You got it.

- Here's the file.

Here he comes, Tim.

Detective Block, are

the murders connected?

Yes, we believe that the murders

were committed by the same killer.

So far, the victims have all been women linked

to unusual or aberrant sexual activity.

We recommend, however, that all

women exercise extreme caution...

until this killer is apprehended.

Thank you.
