"Where would you like to eat?" No response.

"Detective?' Henry asked again.

"Oh..I don't care, not really hungry." Mike stared out of the window, his mind lost in other thoughts. Henry could have entered his mind but chose not to. He felt like he would be invading where he wasn't welcome, not to mention he would be uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's just grab a burger then, how's that?" Mike just grunted. Henry's ulterior motive was to grab a burger then stake our their two stubborn women.

Henry got the food, handed Mike his and started driving toward the area they knew Vicki and Kate would be.

"Okay, I"m supposed to ask you what's wrong, you are supposed to tell me, then I'm supposed to tell Vicki.." Henry said with a dramatic wave of his hand.

"They must think we are as stupid as we look," Mike said with a smile.

Henry agreed. Henry was diving straight in, hoping that would relieve tension.

"I don't know, Fitzroy," Mike was confused. "It's just Kate is still so jealous of Vicki, she even made up that she was having some kind of dreams where she got lost or taken or some shit like that, I don't know and we've been trying for a baby, it's not happening, she's upset about that..."

"Wait..did you say she was having dreams where she was missing?" Henry asked.

"Yeah? So?" Mike stopped talking waiting to hear how that was relevant.

"That's it...we've got to hurry Mike.." Henry floored it to the street where Vicki said she would be.

They arrived and started driving slowly, women coming close to the jag making offers. Mike and Henry were oblivious. A redhead watched them with interest.

"Hey..you two lookin' for your women?" she assumed they were the lookouts, although Vicki had lied, she hadn't known Henry and Mike were coming anyway.

"It depends on who you're talking about," Mike said cautiously. She described them, never got their real names but it was them allright.

"Where are they?' Henry asked leaning over Mike, Mike pushed Henry's head back with a humph and a look.

"Oh, they got in that red cadillac that picked up our friend Starr," she said.

"What?" Mike was stunned, those two!!

"Yeah, looked like a woman driving but not, you know? We get lots of freaks, anyway, they went off that way," She said pointing down the street. They thanked her and sped away.

"Dammit to hell those two! Why didn't they wait!?" Mike hit Henry's dashboard with his fist, causing his fries to spill out everywhere.

"Mike, please control yourself. We will find them, " Henry was clenching his jaw, gripping the steeringwheel so hard his knuckles were white.

If the Ripper had their women, all hell was about to break loose.

"Look, Mike I think that Kate might be the one." Mike stared an Henry.

"Why Kate?"

"Because, you said she's been having dreams. Have they coincided with the killings?"

Mike thought a minute, "Yeah, they have." He was upset with himself for blowing her off now.

"But, this guy is after streetwalkers, Kate is not a hooker..well she looks like one right now..hell you know what I mean!" Mike was flustered.

"Yes, but maybe this warrior is looking in the wrong places because he has misunderstood what he is looking for. Humans abuse their bodies in various ways, whether it's physically or emotionally. Kate is insecure still.." Mike shot Henry a look.

"Mike it's not your fault, it's her nature, she'll get better with time..at any rate, we've got to hurry and find them.

Things were getting more twisted by the moment.

The killer was pleased. She was in his car, his time was almost up. He could feel it, so close. She had no idea what awaited her.

Vicki watched this man, she knew it was a man regardless of outward apperance.

"So, where you takin' us?" Vicki asked.

"You'll see."

"You haven't even asked how much we charge. I mean, it ain't free you know.." Vicki was trying to stay in character. Kate was letting Vicki do all the talking. She was suddenly very nauseous.

"Yes, I know there is a price, it will be paid..."
