Chapter 64

Fatimah call woke me up out of a deep sleep. come down here, her voice commanded.

I blinked vroggily at the click. it was ten after five.

“ come down where?" I moaned.

"I'm at the damn office. in the damn lab. the guard at the front counter will let you in. come right now."

I heard the urgency in her voice, and it took only seconds for me to come to my sense. you are at the lab?"

since two-thirty, sleepyhead. it's about Richard Zaddicos. I think I found something, and Moo, it is a mind blower."

At that hour, it didn't take me more than ten minutes to get to the morgue. I parked in the circular area outside the coroner's entrance reserved for official vehicles. I rushed in, my hair uncombed, dressed in a sweatshirt and jean. the guard buzzed me in and let me through. He was expecting me. Fatimah met me at the entrance to the lab.

okay," I said, my expectations are high."
