McCaleb had seen her before she had seen him. He was getting off the main ship, crossing the mountains of the military wing, when he saw a woman standing on a chair in the sea of Follow Me. It was the bright color of a Saturday, the quiet whisper of spring sending many from their homes to the docks of San Pedro. McCaleb was arranging all the trips each morning - a full loop around Cabrillo Marina, along the breakwater and back. At this point he was a little tired, but he was slower as he approached. His initial thought was that of betrayal - the woman boarded the boat without an invitation. But as he got closer, he brushed that thought aside and wondered who she was, what she wanted

Chapter 1-1
She doesn"t use her default clothes for sailing. She defaults to a comfortable summer that reaches between her thighs. The wind rising from the water kept running at her speed and she had to press one hand to her hip to keep it still. McCaleb couldn"t see her feet, but through the muscular outline of her tanned legs, he wasn"t wearing beach shoes. She lifted. McCaleb understood immediately, she was here to impress someone. McCaleb is corrosive so as not to make any impression. He wears ripped jeans because they"ve been worn for too long, not for style, wearing a shirt style from last summer"s Catalina Gold Cup. His clothes are stained with concrete, mainly fish, and sometimes his own blood, hydrochloric acid, polyurethane resin and oil. This map is default to rating but also default all when repairing. This week, he will be editing the computer at sea, he is defaulting to the graphics set. He began to become more conscious of his appearance as he approached and saw women more clearly. He pulled two music player sponges out of his ears and turned off the CD midway through "I Ain"t Superstitious" in Howlin "Wolf"s voice. "What can I do for her?" he asked before stepping into the sea himself. Ready to startle her, stand in front of the sliding window into the adjacent hotel and turn around. McCaleb the item she imported onto the glass because she thought it was in there. "I"m looking for Terrell McCaleb." She was an attractive woman in her thirties, a year or so younger than McCaleb. She looked extinguished, but he couldn"t remember who. It"s just like being used to, not really sure. At the same time, he feels like his memory is shaken for him to accept, but then the control is quick and he knows he relaxes, he doesn"t know this woman. He often remembers people"s faces. And her face is pretty enough for him not to forget. She mispronounced the name, she should have said Maccalyp, she said Macca-class, and then she used it again to write his name on his piece of paper, a name that was not used except by the press. It was then that he began to understand. Time, he knew what brought her to the docks. Another lost soul in the wrong place. “McCaleb,” he corrected. "Terry McCaleb." "Sorry. I, uh, I thought you were in the boat. I don"t know if I go to the sea and knock on the door, it won"t work. " "She"s still doing it." She ignored the next words. Just like what she was doing and what she had to say, she had to practice over and over again. "I need to talk to him." "Oh, I"m a bit busy right now." He pointed to the open pit door, possibly still the girl who didn"t get in, pointing at the stack of tools he could get out on a screen by the stern window. “I"ve been walking around looking for this for almost an hour,” she said. “It won"t be long. My name is Graciela Rivers, I just want to…” “Hey, Miss Rivers,” he said, raising his hands to stop him. “Is it really me… Was it wrong that she read about me in the newspaper?” Nod nodded. “Okay, before she starts her story, I have to tell her that she is not the first person to come here looking for me or for my phone number that I call. And to all the others I say the same to her. I"m not looking for a job. So if it"s about whether you want to hire me or ask me to help you in some way or another, unfortunately, I can"t. I"m not looking for that kind of job. " She said nothing and he was pleased with her, just as he had felt with others who had come before her. “Hey, I know a couple of counselors, I can recommend them to her. This association is good, doing good business, they won"t cheat you. " He stepped onto the stern of the boat, his glasses shadowing him as he walked, putting them on, gesturing them to talk. But his gestures and words were like water to her. “The article you are kind. Saying that every dragonfly he hates. " He stuck his hand in his pocket, shrugging. “She has to remember one thing. Never just me. I have collaborators, I have a testing team, I have the Department behind me to support me. The other is far from the type of single guy who does everything alone. Very much. Even if I wanted to, I couldn"t help her. " She should first, he"s done with her to understand, and for her this is the end. He started thinking about the valve on a campaign basis that he was working on, which he would work on to wrap up this weekend"s content. But he brought her back. “I think he can help me,” she said. “When also helps main his more.” "I do not need money. I earn enough. " "I"m not talking about money." He looked at her for a moment before answering. "I don"t know what you mean by that," he said, deliberately trying to be polite. "But I can"t help you. I am not a fit, nor am I a consultant. It would be illegal for me to work as a consultant or receive money without a state license. If she read the article, she knows what happened to me. I can"t drive anymore. " He parked his car outside the dock and pier sequence. “You see that car covered up like a Christmas present? That"s my car. It will be there again without my doctor"s approval to drive again. When I come to this country, what other investigator am I still? Come and have to go by car. " She ignored his response, just looking at him with a determined expression that made him back away. He knew how to get her from the boat to here. “Let me go get the others names for her.” He circled her and opened the sliding window. Once inside, he closed the door behind him. He needs separation. He went to the drawer under the charting table and reached for the phone notepad. It"s been too long since he"s needed it, so now he doesn"t know where it is. He went out the door, watching her walk to the stern, leaning against the small window while she waited. The front a window with the antenna layer. She couldn"t see him watching her. The extinguished feeling used his mind again and he tried to see where he met. He found her outstanding. The resulting eyes are both melancholy and joyfully colored while learning some secret. He knew that if he had met her or even observed her before, he would have easily remembered her. But he can"t remember anything. His eyes involuntarily moved to her hands, searching for any rings. Not available. As for her slippers, he was right. She wears a five-year criss-cross made of cork, highly analytical. Her toenails are painted pink, striking against the soft brown skin. He asked if she always looked like this, or if she dressed like that just so he could take the job for her. He searched the phone book in the second drawer, quickly searching for the names of Jack Lavelle and Tom Kimball. He jotted down their names and phone numbers on an old shipping company flyer and opened the sliding door. She was opening her wallet when he exited the hotel. He gave her paper. “Here are two people named. Lavelle is a retired Los Angeles detective, while Kimball was a former FBI agent. I used to work with both, people can work well for her too. Choose a person to call. Remember to protect him that she got his name because of me. He will take care of her. " She did not accept names from him. Instead she pulled a photo out of his wallet. McCaleb took the sword without thinking. He immediately recognized it as a false message. In his hand was a picture of a smiling woman watching babies fall asleep on a birth cake. McCaleb counted the candles. The first he thought was the image of Graciela when he was a few years younger than he is now. But then then got not to be her. The woman in the photo has a round face, thinner environment. She"s not as pretty as Graciela Rivers. Although both have colored eyes, the eyes of the woman in the picture are not as beautiful as the eyes of the woman observing right now. "Your sister?" "Must to. And child of it. " "Who?" "What?" "Who died?" That question was his second mistake, aggravating the second because it felt more comfortable. As soon as he asked, he knew that he should have been sovereign, we got the names of the other two private detectives and everything here. "My brother, my sister. Gloria Torres. My whole family calls it Glory. This is Raymond, son of it. " He nodded and the reply photo was offered but she didn"t accept it. He knew she wanted to ask what happened, but he couldn"t hold back in the end. "Now, this isn"t going to help," the last conversation. "I know what she"s doing. It"s of no use to me. " “It"s he is not a man of the information must not?” He heats up in rage. “I apologize. You read the article, you know what happened to me. I"ve had problems in the past, so I can sympathize. " The guy is dry and tries to wipe away any unpleasant emotions. He knew she was suffering a crushing failure in aggravation. McCaleb had known hundreds of people like her. Loved ones are taken from them, because everything is gone. No arrests, no accusations, no destruction. Some of them are just life, their lives are irrevocably changed. Lost souls. Graciela Rivers time this is such a person. She definitely is, otherwise she wouldn"t find a way to expand her accumulation. He knows, no matter what she says to him or how angry he gets, she doesn"t need to be amused by his own bouts of frustration. “Come on,” he said. “I can"t do that. IAM sorry. " He put a hand on her to let her lead her back up the steps. Yes, she is warm. He gets strong muscles under that software. The picture he handed over, but she still refused to take it. “Watch it again. Please him please. Just one more time, and I"ll leave you alone. Tell me how does he feel differently? " He shook his hand and voted for a bachelor with just his hand as if to say whatever he wanted to say. "I"m a former FBI agent, not a psychic." But he"s still working. Hold up the photo. Woman and boy watch out for happiness. It"s birthday. Seven candles. McCaleb remembers that when he was seven years old, his parents were still together. But after that, they didn"t stay together for long. His eyes drew more light into the woman. He wondered how the boy would live without his mother now. “I"m sorry, Miss Rivers. In fact, I"m so sorry. But I can"t do anything for her. Do you want this photo back? " “I have two. You know, washing a present. I think he"ll keep one. " For the first time he felt something hidden in the stream of emotions. There was something more systematic here, but he didn"t know what. He looked closely at Miss Graciela Rivers and had the impression that if he took one more step, he would question the actual display, he was drawn to the electric pole.
