I should probably start with the blood.I it bleeds it leads and all that, right? It’s all anyone everwants to know about, anyway. What did it look like? What did iteel like? Why was it all over my hands? And the mystery blood,all those unaccounted-or antibodies, those aceless corkscrews oDNA—who let them behind?But beginning with that night, with the blood, means thatChris will never be anything more than a corpse, bleeding out allover his mother’s travertine marble, Adriane nothing but a dead-eyed head case, rocking and moaning, her clothes soaked in his blood, her ace paper white with that slash o red razored into hercheek.
