True Crime Page #5

Later she picked Beechum out

of a police lineup...

... the same lineup

where he was picked out...

... by Dale Porterhouse, CPA.

He was in the area.

His car overheated,

so he drove into Pocum 's.

Porterhouse picks Beechum

from the lineup that same day.

Records show Amy Wilson

owed Beechum $96...

... for carburetor work.

Note for future essay:

Why so few female car mechanics?

Want coffee, Ev?

It's back in fashion

as a late-morning pick-me-up.

Make it a big one.

Women can fetch coffee now...

...because job opportunities

give us new confidence.

Do you think being

the trends editor's getting to you?

I don't know.

Was I an insane person before?

You're a great person.

You take it black?

I do.

Sh*t!

Steve, thank God. Where are you?

I'm at the paper. They roped me in.

Did they call you at the gym?

They tried here.

I stopped by to pick something up

and they grabbed me.

Did you have a good workout?

Yeah, decent.

Good. Anyway, you promised Kate

you'd take her to the zoo.

The zoo!

God, I forgot!

Steve, she really is expecting you.

I'm sorry about that.

I really just forgot.

You worked all weekend.

She didn 't see you at all.

You know how she loves her daddy.

I know it's work...

... but I feel it would be

a bad idea to let her down again.

Barbara, there's been an accident.

Remember Michelle Ziegler?

You met at Christmas?

She piled up her car

on Dead Man's Curve.

That's terrible. There's been

so many accidents there.

They ought to do something.

- What was that?

- They ought do something about that.

- Is she hurt?

- "Not if I heard anything like that."

Yeah, dead.

That's awful.

You're filling in for her?

They've got a ticket

for the execution tonight.

Don 't tell me they couldn 't get

someone else. You worked all weekend.

Finally!

What? Where are you?

Barbara, look, I don't have

to be at San Quentin till 4.

Why don't I pick up Katie, take her

to the zoo and bring her back at 3?

Coffee time!

What about her nap?

She has her nap after lunch.

Her nap?

Isn't today your day off?

She gets cranky without her nap.

Well, I'll bring her a double espresso.

- It's just a joke.

- I'm busting a gut.

I'll be there in a half-hour,

Why'd you go in there

on your day off?

Are you still trying to make up

for that Mike Vargas thing?

I'll be there at 12:30, all right?

More and more workers insist on the

right not to breathe secondhand smoke.

And more and more scumbags don't care.

Well, Bridget,

you're an adorable person.

Sexual harassment.

What are the guidelines?

Who can say?

I hate my job, Ev.

But I love watching you do it.

Don't look now.

Gosh, Mr. Reporter, is that what
