You
knew
,
"
he
said
to
the
empty
apartment
.
"
You
knew
this
would
happen
.
"
He
went
into
the
kitchen
,
took
some
fruit
from
the
bowl
,
put
that
into
the
bag
.
Then
he
zipped
it
up
and
walked
out
onto
the
darkened
street
.
The
ATM
took
his
card
with
a
whirr
.
PLEASE
ENTER
YOUR
PIN
NUMBER
,
it
said
.
Richard
typed
in
his
secret
pin
number
(
D
-
I
-
C
-
K
)
.
The
screen
went
blank
.
PLEASE
WAIT
,
it
said
,
and
the
screen
went
blank
.
Somewhere
in
the
depths
of
the
machine
something
grumbled
and
growled
.
THIS
CARD
IS
NOT
VALID
.
PLEASE
CONTACT
CARD
ISSUER
.
There
was
a
chunking
noise
,
and
the
card
slid
out
again
.
"
Spare
any
change
?
"
said
a
tired
voice
from
behind
him
.
Richard
turned
:
the
man
was
short
and
old
and
balding
,
his
scraggly
beard
a
matted
tangle
of
yellow
and
gray
.
The
lines
of
his
face
were
etched
deeply
in
black
dirt
.
He
wore
a
filthy
coat
over
the
ruin
of
a
dark
gray
sweater
.
His
eyes
were
gray
as
well
,
and
rheumy
.
Richard
handed
the
man
his
card
.
"
Here
,
"
he
said
.
"
Keep
it
.
There
’
s
about
fifteen
hundred
pounds
in
there
,
if
you
can
get
to
it
.
"
The
man
took
the
card
in
his
street
-
blackened
hands
,
looked
at
it
,
turned
it
over
,
and
said
,
flatly
,
"
Thanks
a
bunch
.
That
and
sixty
pence
’
ll
get
me
a
nice
cup
of
coffee
.
"
He
gave
Richard
his
card
back
,
and
began
to
walk
down
the
street
.
Richard
picked
up
his
bag
.
Then
he
went
after
the
man
and
said
,
"
Hey
.
Hang
on
.
You
can
see
me
.
"
"
Nothing
wrong
with
my
eyes
,
"
said
the
man
.
"
Listen
,
"
said
Richard
,
"
have
you
ever
heard
of
a
place
called
‘
The
Floating
Market
’
?
I
need
to
get
there
.
There
’
s
a
girl
called
Door
.
.
.
"
But
the
man
had
begun
,
nervously
,
to
back
away
from
Richard
.
"
Look
,
I
really
need
help
,
"
said
Richard
.
"
Please
?
"
The
man
stared
at
him
,
without
pity
.
Richard
sighed
.
"
Okay
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
’
m
sorry
I
troubled
you
.
"
He
turned
away
,
and
,
clenching
the
handle
of
his
bag
in
both
hands
so
that
they
hardly
shook
at
all
,
he
began
to
walk
down
the
High
Street
.
