javal, wired, drums on the steering wheel while driving. he glances at some expertly constructed, radio-control remote units sitting on the seat next to him. as they approach the crest of the overpass, javal flips a switch on his radio-control unit. javal drives behind the mercedes, with one hand on the radio unit. the mercedes signals to take the venice exit. humming, javal drives with one hand, while tapping with his other on the top of the radio-controlled remote box. he still drives at the same speed as the surrounding traffic. driving fast, javal makes a hard right. as the van leans with the turn, something rolls out from under a sheet of canvas on the floor -- the governess' body, bloodied and grotesque under the plastic tarp it's wrapped in. javal hits a remote garage door opener. ahead, rickety doors on one of a line of detached garages facing the alley open up.
