When
they
returned
to
headquarters
,
Nikki
Miller
had
just
arrived
on
duty
.
She
sat
Polly
in
a
small
room
directly
opposite
the
receptionists
desk
and
brought
in
another
tray
of
mug
shots
.
She
left
Polly
alone
and
shut
the
door
.
22
A
few
minutes
later
,
Eliot
Boxerbaum
arrived
at
the
Detective
Bureau
with
Donna
West
,
the
nurse
who
had
been
the
second
victim
.
He
wanted
her
to
go
through
the
mug
shots
,
too
.
He
and
Chief
Kleberg
had
decided
to
keep
the
optometry
student
in
reserve
for
a
line
-
up
identification
in
case
the
mug
-
shot
evidence
didn
t
hold
up
in
court
.
23
Nikki
Miller
sat
Donna
West
at
a
table
in
the
corridor
alongside
the
filing
cabinets
and
brought
her
three
trays
of
mug
shots
.
"
My
God
,
"
she
said
,
"
are
there
that
many
sex
offenders
walking
the
streets
?
"
Boxerbaum
and
Miller
waited
nearby
as
Donna
studied
face
after
face
.
Looking
angry
and
frustrated
,
she
flipped
through
the
photographs
.
She
saw
a
face
she
recognized
not
the
man
who
d
raped
her
,
but
a
former
classmate
,
someone
she
d
seen
on
the
street
just
the
other
day
.

She
peeked
at
the
back
and
saw
he
d
been
arrested
for
indecent
exposure
.
"
Christ
,
"
she
mumbled
,
"
you
never
know
.
"
25
Halfway
through
the
tray
,
Donna
hesitated
at
a
picture
of
a
handsome
youth
with
muttonchop
whiskers
and
dull
,
staring
eyes
.
She
jumped
up
,
nearly
knocking
the
chair
over
.
"
That
s
him
!
That
s
him
!
I
m
positive
!
"
26
Miller
had
her
sign
her
name
on
the
back
of
the
photograph
,
then
got
the
I
.
D
.
number
,
checked
it
against
the
record
and
wrote
down
,
"
William
S
.
Milligan
.
"
It
was
an
old
mug
shot
.
27
She
then
slipped
the
identified
photograph
three
quarters
of
the
way
back
in
a
tray
Polly
Newton
had
not
yet
looked
through
.
She
,
Boxerbaum
,
a
detective
named
Brush
and
Officer
Bessell
went
into
the
room
to
join
Polly
.

Nikki
Miller
felt
Polly
must
have
known
they
were
waiting
for
her
to
pick
out
one
of
the
photographs
in
that
tray
.
Polly
fingered
the
cards
,
flipping
them
carefully
,
and
when
she
reached
the
halfway
point
,
Miller
found
herself
growing
tense
.
If
Polly
picked
out
the
same
mug
shot
,
they
had
the
Campus
Rapist
.
29
Polly
stopped
at
Milligans
picture
,
then
went
past
it
.
Miller
felt
the
tension
in
her
own
shoulders
and
arms
.
Then
Polly
turned
the
photos
back
and
looked
again
at
the
young
man
with
the
muttonchop
whiskers
.
"
Boy
,
that
sure
looks
like
him
,
"
she
said
,
"
but
I
can
t
say
for
sure
.
"

Boxerbaum
was
hesitant
about
filing
for
a
warrant
for
Milligan
s
arrest
.
