Chapter 65

Gabriel and i leaped up, almost as one, racing back to the command center.

It appeared Zaddicos had been seen in the lobby of a small hotel called the El Drisco. A bellboy spotted him. Free of his cuffs. Now he was on the streets, somewhere up ok Pacific Heights.

Why there, my mind ratcheted through the possibilities. Then it became clear.

I readioed Paul Chin, who was still sitting surveillance on the agent’s brownstone. “Paul, be on the alert.” I told him. Zaddicos maybe headed your way. He was seen in pacific Heights.

There was a beep on my cell phone. It was isaiah everything happening at once.

“Moo, there’s an All Available units on Zaddicos up in the Heights about a mile from here. I’m headed up there”.

Isaiah don’t leave me, inshouted into the receiver. I still believed Mabel was the murderer. I couldn’t leave her unmonitored, especially with Zaddicos on the loose, Stay at your post.”
