"
When
you
let
me
see
,
"
he
replied
,
and
he
was
no
longer
smiling
.
His
face
was
cheerful
,
though
;
the
kind
of
good
cheer
you
only
see
on
the
faces
of
folks
who
enjoy
being
mean
.
"
Let
me
see
,
Paulie
.
I
want
to
know
what
you
're
writing
.
"
My
hand
began
to
move
away
from
the
top
page
.
From
our
trip
with
John
back
through
the
tunnel
under
the
road
.
"
I
want
to
see
if
it
has
anything
to
do
with
where
you
--
"
"
Let
that
man
alone
.
"
The
voice
was
like
a
harsh
whipcrack
on
a
dry
,
hot
day
...
and
the
way
Brad
Dolan
jumped
,
you
would
have
thought
his
ass
had
been
the
target
.
He
let
go
of
my
hand
,
which
thumped
back
down
on
my
paperwork
,
and
we
both
looked
toward
the
door
.

Elaine
Connelly
was
standing
there
,
looking
fresh
and
stronger
than
she
had
in
days
.
She
wore
jeans
that
showed
off
her
slim
hips
and
long
legs
;
there
was
a
blue
ribbon
in
her
hair
.
She
had
a
tray
in
her
arthritic
hands
--
juice
,
a
scrambled
egg
,
toast
,
more
tea
.
And
her
eyes
were
blazing
.
"
What
do
you
think
you
're
doing
?
"
Brad
asked
.
"
He
ca
n't
eat
up
here
.
"
"
He
can
,
and
he
's
going
to
,
"
she
said
in
that
same
dry
tone
of
command
.
I
had
never
heard
it
before
,
but
I
welcomed
it
now
.
I
looked
for
fear
in
her
eyes
and
saw
not
a
speck
--
only
rage
.
"
And
what
you
're
going
to
do
is
get
out
of
here
before
you
go
beyond
the
cockroach
level
of
nuisance
to
that
of
slightly
larger
vermin
--
Rattus
Americanus
,
let
us
say
!

He
took
a
step
toward
her
,
looking
both
unsure
of
himself
and
absolutely
furious
.
I
thought
it
a
dangerous
combination
,
but
Elaine
did
n't
flinch
as
he
approached
.
"
I
bet
I
know
who
set
off
that
goddam
smoke
alarm
,
"
Dolan
said
.
"
Might
could
have
been
a
certain
old
bitch
with
claws
for
hands
.
Now
get
out
of
here
.
Me
and
Paulie
have
n't
finished
our
little
talk
,
yet
!
"
"
His
name
is
Mr.
Edgecombe
,
"
she
said
,
"
and
if
I
ever
hear
you
call
him
Paulie
again
,
I
think
I
can
promise
you
that
your
days
of
employment
here
at
Georgia
Pines
will
end
,
Mr.
Dolan
.
"
"
Just
who
do
you
think
you
are
?
"
he
asked
her
.
He
was
hulking
over
her
,
now
,
trying
to
laugh
and
not
quite
making
it
.
