Shadow
shrugged
.
"
I
was
stupid
,
"
he
said
,
and
meant
it
.
The
man
with
the
birthmark
sighed
.
He
ticked
off
a
number
of
items
on
a
checklist
.
Then
he
riffled
through
the
papers
in
Shadow
’
s
file
.
"
How
’
re
you
getting
home
from
here
?
"
he
asked
.
"
Greyhound
?
"
"
Flying
home
.
It
’
s
good
to
have
a
wife
who
’
s
a
travel
agent
.
"
The
man
frowned
,
and
the
birthmark
creased
.
"
She
sent
you
a
ticket
?
"
"
Didn
’
t
need
to
.
Just
sent
me
a
confirmation
number
.
Electronic
ticket
.
All
I
have
to
do
is
turn
up
at
the
airport
in
a
month
and
show
’
em
my
ID
,
and
I
’
m
outta
here
.
"
The
man
nodded
,
scribbled
one
final
note
,
then
he
closed
the
file
and
put
down
the
ballpoint
pen
.
Two
pale
hands
rested
on
the
gray
desk
like
pink
animals
.
He
brought
his
hands
close
together
,
made
a
steeple
of
his
forefingers
,
and
stared
at
Shadow
with
watery
hazel
eyes
.
"
You
’
re
lucky
,
"
he
said
.
"
You
have
someone
to
go
back
to
,
you
got
a
job
waiting
.
You
can
put
all
this
behind
you
.
You
got
a
second
chance
.
Make
the
most
of
it
.
"
The
man
did
not
offer
to
shake
Shadow
’
s
hand
as
he
rose
to
leave
,
nor
did
Shadow
expect
him
to
.
The
last
week
was
the
worst
.
In
some
ways
it
was
worse
than
the
whole
three
years
put
together
.
Shadow
wondered
if
it
was
the
weather
:
oppressive
,
still
,
and
cold
.
It
felt
as
if
a
storm
was
on
the
way
,
but
the
storm
never
came
.
He
had
the
jitters
and
the
heebie
-
jeebies
,
a
feeling
deep
in
his
stomach
that
something
was
entirely
wrong
.
In
the
exercise
yard
the
wind
gusted
.
Shadow
imagined
that
he
could
smell
snow
on
the
air
.
He
called
his
wife
collect
.
Shadow
knew
that
the
phone
companies
whacked
a
three
-
dollar
surcharge
on
every
call
made
from
a
prison
phone
.
That
was
why
operators
are
always
real
polite
to
people
calling
from
prisons
,
Shadow
had
decided
:
they
knew
that
he
paid
their
wages
.
