                                             Chapter Fourteen

         ÒWhy stand there going moo,
         When you can hire a blue?
         Blue cab!  Blue cab!
         L.A.Õs finest Blue cab!Ó
         
         About the only thing more irritating than listening to the Blue cab 
commercial was having to drive one, Jackson Stallings muttered to 
himself.  He reached over and switched off the radio.  The missing girl had 
been found anyway, even if her kidnapper hadnÕt.  The news had become 
repetitive; police were searching down near the beach, JacksonÕs area, and 
at some point they were going to have to clear out or he was going to have 
to start working, cops or no cops.  He couldnÕt spend all morning starving.  
Jackson pulled his harmonica out of his leather coat pocket.  It was his 
only consolation on slow mornings like this, when lack of business or 
other problems prevented him from picking up rides.  He had just begun 
playing a tune when someone waved to him from the other side of the 
street.  Idly he looked over at the man.  Some homeless guy was waving to 
him with a cane.  Jackson tried ignoring the man.  The last thing he needed 
was to be bothered with someone with no money; it was worse than no 
business at all.  
         As Jackson quietly pulsed through the notes of the Rolling StonesÕ 
Honkey Tonk Woman, he let his vision slide to one side again.  The 
homeless bum was still trying to get his attention.  But now there was a 
second man standing beside him.  Jackson sighed and stuffed his 
harmonica back into his coat.  He could ignore one ride, but two was too 
tempting.  The second guy looked as ragged as the first but perhaps the 
two of them had a dollar or two between them; even a short ride to the 
homeless shelter might be worth the trouble on this morning.  
         Jackson started his cab.  He swung around to the other side of the 
street.  He leaned over and rolled his side window, which was already 
partway down, all the way to the level of the door sill.
         ÒYou two need a ride?Ó
         ÒYes,Ó the older man with the cane said with surprising self-
assurance.  Not the usual drugged out hopeless voice Jackson was used to 
in such people.  His spirits perked up.  Perhaps these two were worth the 
trouble of pulling around for, after all.  The younger man opened the cabÕs 
back door for the older man and with a bit of weariness the older man 
eased himself into the back seat.  Then the younger man got in, in front.  
Grandly he reached across to Jackson, extending his hand to him.
         ÒHi, weÕd like to go to UC Mercy,Ó the younger man said to Jackson.  
Without even thinking about it, Jackson took the younger manÕs hand, or, 
rather, let his own hand be sought and taken.  Jackson felt a sudden ripple 
shoot through his body.  He blinked.
         ÒUC Mercy?Ó Jackson asked, except his name wasnÕt Jackson, he 
realized.  When had it ever been Jackson?  It was Pan, of course.
