Loose Cannons Page #4

...was probably too huge

to get over the fence without help.

Pray continue.

I know this man was tormented because

he's got a broken leg with the tibia...

...protruding through. It would have been

agonizing for him to move at all...

...much less crawl the 30 feet

he was forced to.

- How do you know he's German?

- That's the neatest of all.

The killers were very meticulous in

removing all identifying objects. Details.

They overlooked one thing. Look closely.

You see, he's had his leg broken before.

Probably snapped it skiing.

At least that's what it looks like.

Joe, give me what we extracted.

We pulled out this surgical repair pin.

You can read:

A West German domestic

medical supply company.

- They were clumsy in overlooking this.

- Those morons.

He might have been

another nationality and...

...just had his leg broken and set in

Germany, but there is corroboration.

- What do you see?

- A crotch. I don't much like it.

- The shorts, though.

- Yeah?

There's no fly. No pee-pee hole.

No opening, you know, European-style.

That's it in a nutshell.

Detective Stern, I was most impressed

by your recall of detail...

...in your querying of my account.

You've a very adequate mind.

Well, thank you very much.

I'll go see how they're doing on the other

bodies, especially the headless one.

Oh, right, Ellis, right.

Hey, great work, great work.

- How you doing?

- I'm fine.

- Thanks for the chance, Uncle Del.

- Well, that's great, that's great.

- I gotta talk to Mac for a minute.

- Okay.

- Check the registration on that launch.

- Hey, this guy is sharp.

Oh, yeah?

There's something wrong with that dude.

You know your problem, Mac?

You have no charity.

Hey, what is this,

"Doo-doo on Mac" week?

My training's in forensics,

ballistics, police science.

John Jay College, '74-'79.

Would you mind turning that off, please?

It disrupts my energy patterns.

Well, we can't have that, can we?

Forensics? I guess that's where you

developed your observational powers.

- Hold the wheel for a second, will you?

- What?

Hold this for a second.

I gotta do this.

Mr. Stern.

What are you going to do with that?

What do you think I'm going to do with it,

kid? I'm gonna roll a cigarette...

...then I'm gonna smoke it.

I bet you don't like cigarettes, do you?

- Give off bad vibes?

- No, they make my eyes burn...

...and my lungs hurt.

- I see.

So do you mind?

It's a nasty habit anyway.

So you've been in Narcotics

all this time?

No, actually I've been on sick leave

for much of the last two years.

What's wrong?

Is this a cat?

No, that's a giraffe.

Of course it's a cat. Why?

Will your cat always be coming

on assignments with us?
