he three police cars are parked parallel to the curb. A white ambulance, lights flashing, has backed up over the curb and the sidewalk and sits on the grass in front of the entrance to Lovelace. After pushing through the crowd of students, Eve arrives in time to see two uniformed rescue workers, a man and a woman, carry a mounded stretcher out of the building and down the steps.

Debby--Eve and Kirby's former roommate--is pushed back by one of the campus cops when, weeping, screaming, she tries to get to the door of the ambulance, tries to reach out to the stretcher. Tina Lassiter, blond dreadlocks swinging, runs out of the dorm, shouting "No, man, no." She stumbles as she misses the first step and slides across the pavement on her knees. "No, man, no."

Helped up by several people she staggers, almost falls again. The knees of her black tights are shredded, her face and hands and the front of her T-shirt are splattered with blood. She turns, stumbles over her feet and staggers back through the front entrance of the dorm.

Eve, taking advantage of the distraction to push past the campus cop to the open rear doors of the ambulance, sees the bloated blue face of what has to be a person, what has to be a human; but he-she-it could be wearing one of those grotesque masks sold at costume counters at Halloween.

She pushes closer to try to identify what she knows now is a woman. As the stretcher is lifted and slid through the open doors of the ambulance a hand shoots out from beneath the sheets and grabs, clenches, holds on to, pulls Eve's wrist.

Oh, Blessed Virgin Mary, oh, sweet Jesus Christ. Oh, Kirby!
