Stone put his feet up on his desk and sighed deeply. Sooner than he had expected, Lance returned to the call. It must have been before. Hes been waiting since, oh, Id say since quarter past four. She nodded gravely and I could see that she was more than just a little drunk.Thats what I was, wasnt I? The best fuck in St. Louis. Guys used to come from all over — from Chicago, Denver, Omaha, all over — just to find out if it was true and every man jack of em told me it was. She looked at me and smiled and I saw that there was a lot more gold in her smile than there had been. I dont know, man. Im just the security guard. Not a computer whiz. After business hours no contractor rings that bell unless they got some special job and have to come in at night. But thats all arranged beforehand. I don’t usually look at that camera during my shift. But the feed wasclear, I can tell you that. Showalter towered over Father Niles as he followed the old priest into the church. I wondered if the priest had noticed that Showalter held his Glock low against his leg. Twelve-thirty came and went. No Larkin. At twelve-thirty-nine, a man in a dark suit came through the front door, looked around and saw Herbie with his finger up, beckoning. He walked to the rear of the room. He bought right back in again, didnt he? Mason asked. You have a driver named Betty. She said,I stopped in at a little restaurant for breakfast yesterday morning, read the papers, and learned about what Alder was saying. That someone had broken into his house and taken fifty thousand dollars in gems and—well, suddenly I realized that he had me. Hed been smart enough not to say anything at all about losing the bottle with the letter in it, but simply claimed that Id broken in in order to steal jewels. And, of course, like a little simp, not intending to get caught in any such mess, I had left myself wide open. And then I realized that you were my only hope because you—of course I didnt know who you were at the time—could swear I hadn’t taken any jewels from the house. Well, Alder said, I, of course, am making an estimate —I havent as yet made a complete inventory, and then, of course, its a question whether you mean wholesale or retail price. But I would say that approximately fifty thousand dollars in jewelry had been taken. Inside a dumpster? This is a good suit. I was thinking about the farm because I didnt much want to think about anything else, especially the day I had just gone through, when Ruth said, You had two telephone calls. Conceivably it could have been, but I would say that around four days would be the extreme time that fingerprints would be preserved under those circumstances. Is there anything at all youd like to talk about? Stone asked. I mean, after me theres only your lawyer, and we know how boring lawyers are. Aha, what? Ive never been stung by a bee. Does it hurt?.
