Miss Logan sat at her table, as she watched Starsky and Hutch leave. Her eyes glowed green. "So Mr. Hutchinson you are. The White Knight."

The woman closed her eyes. "I hope you can protect the child Windy so she can be spared that life." She looked out her window at the sky. " There will be a full moon soon."

Miss Logan heard someone come in the front door. "Is that you Windy." A small voice filled Miss Logan's ears. "Yes Aunt Marilyn."

Windy put the book down, she had been reading. Her aunts green eyes lit up. "Come child, I have wonderful news to tell you. Come we will have these delicious cookies Ms. Maple made."

Windy walked in the parler, Miss Logan sat at the table, with a plate of cookies, and two glasses of milk. The little girl sat down across from her aunt and picked up a cookie and took a bite.

Miss Logan eyed Windy. "I have good news child, Mr. Hutch came by today." Windy's eyes lit up, "He did where is he."

Miss Logan continued. "Mr. Hutch had to leave child, but Ms. Minnie will be here tomorrow morning. You are going to stay with her for a while."

Windy was so excited, She jumped up and down. "Ms. Minnie has two dogs!"

Then Windy's face had a sadness. "You will be alone again." Miss Logan put her arm around Windy. "I'm an old woman and I like being alone, but you can come visit me anytime you want to."

She winked at Windy. "Your the only one I like in the family next to your mother, but she's gone now"

Windy told Miss Logan "I know your not my aunt." Miss. Logan became brokenhearted. "No I'm not child, but I feel like I am. I luv you so much."

Miss Logan's kind old eyes held Windy's young eyes. "I feel more like your grandmother."

Windy's eyes teared up. "Grandmother is gone, but I still talk to her. Can you be my grandma? You have red hair just like her. I already ask Grandma Margaret."

Windy stopped and took a bit of her cookie. "Grandma Margaret told me yes, because you are a genuine lady. I need another grandma who can watch over me in the city."

Miss Logan hugged Windy and thought, I don't like or trust many people, but I luv and trust this sweet innocent child. A single tear ran down Miss Logan's cheek.

Miss Logan smiled at Windy. "You can't call me Miss Logan anymore." Windy pondered the thought and put her finger on her mouth, hmmmm." The woman's eyes danced. "Well I always thought if I ever had grandchildren, they would call me Meme"

Windy jumped in her lap hugged her. "Your my Meme."

Windy was a very inquisitive child. "Meme, Why did you never have children? " Miss Logan breathed in. "It's not because I didn't want to, I never married." Windy ask. "Did you ever almost get married?"

Miss Logan's mind seemed to go to another place long ago. "Why yes I did child, but he married someone else and that was the end of that... Now you need to take your bath and get in bed. Ms. Minnie will be here early in the morning."

Later that day

Starsky and Hutch strolled into The Pitts to eat lunch, they sat down at their usual booth.

Hutch took the picture out of his wallet, and flipped it to the back. The name of the restaurant was printed clearly.

Starsky noticed Hutch's face appeared exhausted. "How are you holding up blonde?" Hutch still examining the picture, shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, you know."

Huggy came over to the table, the tall black man squeezed Hutch's shoulder. "Well glad to see you about, blondie." Hutch lips formed a smiled. " Thanks Hug, its great to be back. Hutch held the photograph. "Do you know anything about this place?"

The blond handed him the photograph. Huggy remarked. "The Ruby Slipper, man this place goes way back."

Huggy walked away, and he brought back a picture in a frame. "Now this place was a real classy place in its time, you were somebody if you ate here."

Huggy glanced back at the bar. "Hold on man, let me see where your food is." Huggy came back with a tray. "Here you go, two Huggy deluxe hamburgers and home cut fries."

Starsky eyed the food, as his eyes lit up. "Oh deluxe, what are home cut fries."

Huggy sounded extremely proud. "I leave the skin on them, healthier and more vitamins."

Hutch ask. "Huggy how do you cook your home fries?" Huggy replied. "Man they are deep fried to golden perfection."

Hutch frowned at Starsky. "That's going to kill you Starsk." Starsky still chewing stared at Hutch in disbelief. "You heard the man, more vitamins, healthier."

Huggy patted Hutch's back. "Come on Blondie you've been in the woods eating grass, berries, and nuts. Man you need to eat solid food. Put some meat back on those skinny bones.

Hutch took a bite of his hamburger. "Huggy, I got to hand it to you, it is delicious, but I did not eat grass."

Huggy sat down, as he scanned the photograph. "This place was over on the coast. Let me see what I can find out."

The two detectives walked slowly to the Torino. Huggy bit his bottom lip in concern, as he watched Hutch limp away.

Starsky glanced at Hutch. "Lets go over to your place, so I can beat you at chess."

Hutch put on his sunglasses. "That's funny Starsk. You have never beat me at the game, and may I add. You never will."

Starsky smiled. "Glad to see you got your fight back." Then Starsky growled. "Grrrrrrr."

Hutch's blues lit up. "Yea, don't you forget it...Lets get back to the station buddy, maybe Dobey will let us leave early."

Later at the station

Hutch held the reports, they had finished. "Well Buddy are you ready to call it a day."

Starsky started to answer, when Captain Dobey came out of his office. "Starsky, Piper told me that Kites journal is authentic, it's a hundred percent her hand writing. She wants to meet with us Monday in my office at 8:00."

Hutch's face had a puzzlement. "Wait a minute what's this about a journal." Captain Dobey glanced at Starsky. "You didn't tell him."

Starsky frowned.. "Not yet, I was waiting to find out if it was really her handwriting."

Hutch stared at Starsky then his Captain. Starsky broke the awkward silence. "The journal was addressed to you, it was in your mailbox. We hoped we could find your whereabouts by reading it, partner.

Captain Dobey's eyes held concern. "Why don't you take the day off Monday get some rest."

The blond rubbed his face, his blue eyes held a sadness. "I need to be here to." Hutch dropped his hand from his face.

Captain Dobey put his hand on Hutch's shoulder. "Get some rest son."

Starsky grabbed some peanuts, as he popped them in his mouth. "What do you say we go to my place. Order a pizza and have a beer."

Hutch's head still staring downward. "That sounds great Starsk."

The two friends walked down the hall. Hutch ran his hand through his blond hair. "Well buddy, I think we should tell Dobey about the wolves. It's probably in the journal."

Starsky stopped at the snack machine. The curly haired detective kicked the machine, out came two candy bars. Starsky held up the candy bars. "Ok whatever you say partner. What movies are on tonight."

Hutch's remarked. "There's a documentary about the extinction of the dodo bird."

Starsky smiled. "This is your night buddy, I will watch the extinction of the dodo bird."

Hutch put his arm around Starsky. The blonds blue eyes smiled. "You David Starsky will watch a documentary with me?"

Starsky's dark blues considered the question. "I will watch and learn about the dodo bird. Drink beer and eat pizza with my Buddy."

Captain Dobey stopped at the snack machine. "Mrs Dobey and the kids are visiting her mother the whole weekend."

Hutch glance at Starsky. "I think our Captain is inviting us over to his house."

The Captain grabbed his candy bars. "You damn right I am, I'll even pay for the pizza and beer. Sort of a coming home for Hutch, anyway my tv is bigger.

They walked to the elevator together. The three men never noticed a pair of blue eyes that glowed from the distance. That had watched their every move.
