The deuces are wild, he
would announce before a pitch. Two balls, two strikes, two out, two on, and two
to two in the bottom of the second.
Bosch could hear Scully’s
voice in his head as he considered that the deuces were now wild in his own
game. Two murders possibly connected and followed by two brothers killed in the
back room of a jewelry store. Two possible killers at the jewelry store. Two
car doors heard in the alley where James Allen’s body was left propped against
a wall. Two watches said to be stolen and then not. Two vice cops who pull over
Mickey Haller on a DUI and two vice cops who may have worked James Allen as an
informant. Coincidence? Bosch had a feeling Vin Scully wouldn’t think so, and
he didn’t either. (ibid, kindle 3091-3094)
