The Frozen Ground Page #4

Wait a minute. Have you seen her?

Her name's Paula.

She was a walk-in.

Not on the circuit or nothin'.

Said her name was angel.

They all do.

First night she went all the way.

Kept her heels on, going

for the big money.

That takes guts.

Not many girls do that.

Hey look, I know what you're thinking.

They're not whores really.

Just girls.

- Janet.

- I gotta go.

- Boss says back inside.

- She's doin' him a favor. F*** off.

Not any more.

F*** off.

Okay, big boy.

Move on.

If she's here, we'll find her.

I'll look around a couple more hours.

Mrs. Morehead?

Sergeant Halcombe.

I was told you had some

information about your sister.

I do.

Lyle asked me for these a long time ago.

- They're Sussie's dental records.

- Okay.

She only came up for two weeks, you know?

That was 15 months ago.

She left her daughter Lizzie

With our folks.

She's four.

Every time the phone rings

I think it might be her.

Oh..

We won those when we were kids.

It's a pair.

And Sussie never took hers off.

Mrs. Morehead,

I know how you feel.

I know. We're doing everything

we can to find her.

Sergeant,

I know it's selfish,

But I want you to remember her

Over the others.

I just want to find her and

lay her down somewhere nice.

- I understand.

- You keep that.

Hi, Bob, the kids just

wanted to say good night.

Call us back if it's not too late.

We're having a great time. It's..

it's really beautiful here

And mom and dad are

really enjoying the kids.

We'll be back in two days.

God bless.

The crocodile returns,

Covered in fresh red earth.

At first, her peculiar

behavior is a puzzle.

Then her secret is revealed.

There is no escape.

Lyle back?

Anything from the FBI?

Yeah, he's been searching court

records and nothing from them yet.

Somebody's looking out for you.

She's pretty scared. Won't say

where she's living or working.

- Will she talk?

- I don't know. That's up to you.

Remember she's a kid,

but don't get fooled.

I'm Sergeant Halcombe.

- How old's your daughter?

- She's six.

Is that your sister?

She's dead, isn't she?

Shall I call you Cindy?

Uh-huh.

And how old are you?

Um, I'm Sev.

I'm 18 now.

I was 17 at the time.

You're not 23?

Why don't you just start at the beginning?

What you told the police downtown.

Okay. Um..

I was on the corner of 5th and denali

And he rode by

Around 11:
00,

And he offered me

$200 for a..

You know, a blowj*b and I

said fine, no problem.

Um..

He brought me to his place.

He said his family was away.

Um, and he..

He took me down..

To.. he called it his den.

It was..

It was more of a dungeon and..

Thanks.

Um..

Ah, damn it.

No no no, don't step there.

Don't step there.
