The second car is nowhere in sight. The dead man--Joseph Leroni, a known bank robber--died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The car, reported stolen, belongs to a Charlie Victor, who works at the racetrack as a trainer and whom Da Vinci personally knows more casually as Victor Charlie. Victor doesn't know Leroni or how the car got stolen (no sign of forcible entry). An eyewitness comes forward who can identify the driver of the other car. Da Vinci begins to learn the truth regarding the accident and Leroni's death when he confronts the driver. An unanswered question remains: who was chasing the car that caused the accident to occur. A second case that Da Vinci investigates involves the dead body of a homeless man found in former polar bear enclosure at Stanley Park: he appears to have died of a head injury. The victim was living in the former bear pit. Personal effects found in the pit indicate that he was a war hero. Leary and Shannon canvass the neighborhood for information about the homeless man, only hearing stories of an interesting old stranger. With personnel issues, Kurtz wants to recruit Rose Williams into Homicide, much to Shannon's chagrin. Leary isn't too excited about his and Kurtz's discussion about her wanting him to partner with someone else other than Shannon, a discussion he doesn't divulge to Shannon. Kosmo fosters her relationship with Sue, becoming a big sister in addition to being her unofficial handler. And still undercover, Danny Leary leaves Vancouver but not before emotional goodbyes to both Kosmo and his brother. Written by Huggo See less
