"
Are
you
sure
that
you
know
this
man
,
hon
?
"
said
Chad
.
He
looked
uncomfortable
.
It
was
obvious
that
he
hoped
that
whatever
was
happening
here
was
all
some
kind
of
case
of
mistaken
identity
,
something
that
one
day
they
might
be
able
to
laugh
about
.
Audrey
Burton
looked
at
him
incredulously
.
"
Are
you
crazy
?
He
worked
for
Robbie
for
years
.
His
slutty
wife
was
my
best
friend
.
He
’
s
wanted
for
murder
.
I
had
to
answer
questions
.
He
’
s
an
escaped
convict
.
"
She
was
way
over
the
top
,
her
voice
trembling
with
suppressed
hysteria
,
sobbing
out
her
words
like
a
soap
actress
going
for
a
daytime
Emmy
.
Kissing
cousins
,
thought
Shadow
,
unimpressed
.
Nobody
in
the
bar
said
a
word
.
Chad
Mulligan
looked
up
at
Shadow
.
"
It
’
s
probably
a
mistake
.
I
’
m
sure
we
can
sort
this
all
out
,
"
he
said
,
sensibly
.
Then
he
said
,
to
the
bar
,
"
It
’
s
all
fine
.
Nothing
to
worry
about
.
We
can
sort
this
out
.
Everything
’
s
fine
.
"
Then
,
to
Shadow
.
"
Let
’
s
step
outside
,
Mike
.
"
Quiet
competence
.
Shadow
was
impressed
.
"
Sure
,
"
said
Shadow
.
He
felt
a
hand
touch
his
hand
,
and
he
turned
to
see
Sam
staring
at
him
.
He
smiled
down
at
her
as
reassuringly
as
he
could
.
Sam
looked
at
Shadow
,
then
she
looked
around
the
bar
at
the
faces
staring
at
them
.
She
said
to
Audrey
Burton
,
"
I
don
’
t
know
who
you
are
.
But
.
You
.
Are
.
Such
.
A
cunt
.
"
Then
she
went
up
on
tiptoes
and
pulled
Shadow
down
to
her
,
and
kissed
him
hard
on
the
lips
,
pushing
her
mouth
against
his
for
what
felt
to
Shadow
like
several
minutes
,
and
might
have
been
as
long
as
five
seconds
in
real
,
clock
-
ticking
time
.
It
was
a
strange
kiss
,
Shadow
thought
,
as
her
lips
pressed
against
his
:
it
wasn
’
t
intended
for
him
.
It
was
for
the
other
people
in
the
bar
,
to
let
them
know
that
she
had
picked
sides
.
It
was
a
flag
-
waving
kiss
.
Even
as
she
kissed
him
,
he
became
certain
that
she
didn
’
t
even
like
him
—
well
,
not
like
that
.
Still
,
there
was
a
tale
he
had
read
once
,
long
ago
,
as
a
small
boy
:
the
story
of
a
traveler
who
had
slipped
down
a
cliff
,
with
man
-
eating
tigers
above
him
and
a
lethal
fall
below
him
,
who
managed
to
stop
his
fall
halfway
down
the
side
of
the
cliff
,
holding
on
for
dear
life
.
There
was
a
clump
of
strawberries
beside
him
,
and
certain
death
above
him
and
below
.
What
should
he
do
?
went
the
question
.
And
the
reply
was
,
Eat
the
strawberries
.
The
story
had
never
made
any
sense
to
him
as
a
boy
.
It
did
now
.
