@@@@@He decided that he would act in a similar wayIt's a helluva lot easier on the vocal cords, he told himself
The doctor passed through at nine o'clock, and Minetta lay on his back without moving, babbling a few words from time to timeThe doctor took a glance at him, dressed his leg without speaking, and then moved onMinetta felt a mixture of relief and resentmentThey don't care if you die, he said to himself againHe closed his eyes and began to thinkThe morning passed quite easily; he was feeling cheerful and confident, and when he recalled the doctor's visit he decided it was a good sign the doctor had paid no attentionThey gave up on me; they're gonna send me to another island soon
He began to dream of what it would be like returning homeHe thought of the ribbons he would be wearing, and he pictured himself walking through the streets in his neighborhood, talking to the people he met"How was it, rough?" they would ask"Naw, naw, it wasn't so bad," he would say"You can't kid me, it must have been pretty bad He would shake his head"I can't complain, I had it easy Minetta laughed to himselfThey would be going around saying, "That Steve Minetta is a pretty good kid, you got to hand it to himThink of all he went through, and look how modest he is
That was the thing, Minetta decided, you had to get back firstHe could see himself at all the parties; what a hit he'd makeThe girls would be looking for men, and he was gonna play hard to getRosie'll come across this time, he said to himselfHe was going to take it easy when he got back; a guy was a sucker to take a job where he worked his balls offWhat did work ever do for a guy?

@@@@@The bond between brother and sister
@@@@@The bond between brother and sister had
never been severed, despite the fact that they saw each other no more
than a dozen times from first meeting until Rhett came home to
Charleston eleven years laterHe had never forgiven himself for
accepting their mother's reassurance that Rosemary was well and
happy
and sheltered by the money he lavished on them once his father was
dead
and could no longer intercept and return itHe should have been
more
alert, more attentive, he accused himself laterThen perhaps his
sister would not have grown up distrusting men the way she did
Perhaps she would have loved and married and had childrenAs it
was,
when he returned home he found a twenty-four-year- old woman with
the
same awkwardness of the thirteen-year-old he had first metShe was
uncomfortable with all men except him; she used the distant lives in
novels as a substitute for the uncertainty of life in the world; she
rejected the conventions of society about how a woman should look
and
think and behaveRosemary was a bluestocking, distressingly
forthright, and totally lacking in feminine wiles and vanityRhett
loved her, and he respected her prickly independenceHe couldn't
make
up for the years he'd missed, but he could give her the rarest gift of
all-his inner selfHe was completely honest with Rosemary, talked to
her as an equal and, on occasion, even confided the secrets of his shirt
to her, as he had never done to any other personShe recognized the
immensity of hisgift, and she adored himIn the fourteen months that
Rhett had been home, the over-tall, illat-ease, innocent spinster and
the oversophisticated, disillusioned adventurer had become the closest
of friendsNow Rosemary felt betrayedShe'd seen a side of Rhett
that she hadn't known existed, a streak of cruelty in the brother she'd
known as unfailingly kind and loving
She was confused and distrustful"You haven't answered my
question,
Rhett Rosemary's reddened eyes were accusing"I'm sorry,
Rosemary,"
he said cautiously"I am deeply sorry you happened to hear meIt
was something I had to doI want her to go away and leave all of us
alone
"But she's your wife!"
"I left her, RosemaryShe w,o,uldn't divorce me as I offered, but she
knew the marriage was over"Then why is she here?" Rhett
shrug | | 2:15 am |
@@@@@"I'm so sorry," she repeated again
and
@@@@@"I'm so sorry," she repeated again
and again, until the sound of her voice was cut off by the closing of
the big front door"My darling child," Eleanor said to Scarlett,
"there is no excuse I can makeRoss was drunk, he didn't know what
he
was sayingBut that is no excuse Scarlett was shaking all over
From disgust, from humiliation, from angerWhy had she let it
happen,
let Rhett's brother revile her and put his hands and his mouth on her?
I
should have spit in his face, clawed him blind, hit his nasty, foul
mouth with my fistsBut I didn't, I just took it-as if I deserved it,
as if it was trueScarlett had never been so ashamedShamed by
Ross' words, shamed by her own weaknessShe felt defiled, dirty,
and
eternally humiliatedBetter if Ross had hit her, or cut her with a
knifeHer body would recover from a bruise or a woundBut her
pride
would never be healed from the sickness she feltEleanor leaned over
her, tried to put her arms around her, but Scarlett shrank from her
touch
"Leave me alone!" she tried to shout, but it came out a moan"I
won't," said MrsButler, "not until you listen to meYou've got to
understand, Scarlett, you have to hear meThere's so much you don't
knowAre you listening?" She drew a chair close to Scarlett's, sat
in it, only inches away Scarlett put her hands over
her ears"I won't leave you," said Eleanor
"And I'll tell you-again and again, a thousand times if need be-until
you hear me Her voice went on and on, gentle but insistent,
while her hand stroked Scarlett's bent head-comforting, caring,
insinuating her kindness and her love through Scarlett's refusal to
hear her | | Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | | 2:19 am |

"I've met at least four Principes since I did this
to myselfThey're terrifyingly similar: brilliant
but disassociative, incapable of empathy, really
only one or two doors down from the sociopaths
John DMacDonald used to write aboutPrincipe
can't operate on me any more than he could on a
patient who presents with a malignant tumor in
that same locationWith a tumor they could at
least try radiationA lead slug isn't amenable to
thatPrincipe knows it, but he's fascinatedAnd
sees nothing wrong with giving me a little false
hope if it'll get me in a hospital bed where he
can ask me if it hurts when he doesAnd
later, when I'm dead, perhaps there'd be a paper
in it for himHe can go to Cancún and drink wine
coolers on the beach

"That's harsh
"Ain't in the same league as those Principe eyes -
those are harshI get one look at em and want to
run the other way while I still canWhich is
pretty much what I did
I shook my head and let it go"So what's the
outlook?"
"Why don't you get rolling? This place is starting
to give me the williesI just realized it's where
that freako grabbed the little girl
"I could have told you that when we drove in
"Probably just as well you kept it to yourself I looked both ways, then turned
back onto the Tamiami TrailI still couldn't
believe I was driving, but I was starting to like
it
"The outlook is not exactly rosyI'm taking
enough Doxepin and Zonegran now to choke a horse -
those're anti-seizure drugs, and they've been
working pretty well, but I knew I was in trouble

@@@@@If it spilled out, it would be anger at
myself, but these people wouldn't know that
I opened my mouth to pour out words, and closed it
Take it slow, I thought, and wished I had Reba
These people would probably view a doll-toting
artist as normalThey had lived through Andy
Warhol, after all
"What I mean to say is I haven't been working long,
and I don't know what the procedure is

Quit fooling yourself, EdgarYou know what
they're interested inNot your pictures but your
empty sleeveYou're Artie the One-Armed Artist
Why not just cut to the chase and tell them to
fuck off?
That was ridiculous, of course, but -
But now I was goddamned if everyone in the gallery
wasn't standing aroundThose who'd been up front
looking at MsShachat's flowers had been drawn by
simple curiosityIt was a familiar grouping; I
had seen similar clusters standing around the
peepholes in board fences at a hundred
construction sites

another fellow with a Michigan tanHe was swagbellied,
sporting a little garden of gin-blossoms
on his nose, and wearing a tropical shirt that
hung almost to his kneesHis white shoes matched
his perfectly combed white hairStep one is you tell me how much

Ian reached over to take my hand“You're the good-luck charm
“Do you feel better now that she's safe?”
“Yes
I saw his head turn sharply as he heard the unexpected sound of a lie in my voiceI didn't meet
his gaze
“Let's go catch some Healers,” I muttered
Ian was silent and thoughtful as we drove the short distance to the small Healing facility
I'd thought the second task would be the challenge, the dangerThe plan was that I would–if
the conditions and numbers were right–try to lead a Healer or two out of the facility under the
pretext that I had an injured friend in my vanAn old trick, but one that would work only too
well on the unsuspecting, trusting Healers
As it turned out, I didn't even have to go inI pulled into the lot just as two middle-aged
Healers, a man and a woman wearing purple scrubs, were getting into a carTheir shift over,
they were heading homeThe car was around the corner from the entranceNo one else was in
sight
I stopped the van right behind their carThey looked up, surprised
I opened my door and slid outMy voice was thick with tears, my face twisted with remorse,
and that helped to fool them
“My friend is in the back–I don't know what's wrong with him
They responded with the instant concern I knew they would showI hurried to open the back
doors for them, and they followed right behindIan went around the other sideJared was ready

“What's your name, miss?”
His voice was not harsh, but neither was it warmHe kept it low, though, following my cue
“Leaves Above,” I said, using the name from the last hotelWould he want to check my story?
I might need someplace to refer him to
“Upside-down Flower?” he guessedHis eyes flickered around their courseWere you on the island?”
“No,” I said quicklyBetween the great rivers
He nodded, perhaps a little disappointed
“Should I go back to Tucson?” I asked“I think I'm quite awake nowOr maybe I should take a
nap right here first –”
“No!” he interrupted me in a louder voice
I jumped, startled, and the little pill slipped from my fingersIt dropped to the metal floor with a
faintly audibleclinkI felt the blood drain from my face as though a plug had been pulled
“Didn't mean to startle you,” he apologized quickly, his eyes repeating their restless circle“But
you shouldn't linger here
“Why?” I managed to whisperMy fingers twitched anxiously at the empty air
“There was a… disappearance recently
“I don't understandA disappearance?”
“It could have been an accident… but there might be…” He hesitated, unwilling to say the
word“Humans may be in this area

@@@@@“Your questions, monsieur?”
“What happened at the Meurice? How did it happen?”
“The woman happened—I assume it was your woman—that was my understandingAs we
agreed, you and your friend from Deuxième were positioned so that when Carlos arrived to trap
you, you would kill himFor reasons no one can fathom, your woman screamed as you crossed the
Rivoli—the rest you saw for yourselfHow could you have told me to take a room at the
Meurice knowing she was there?”
“That’s easy to answerI didn’t know she was thereWhere do we stand now?”

“Carlos still trusts meHe blames everything on the woman, your wife, I’m told, and has no
reason to hold me responsibleAfter all, you were there, which proves my allegianceWere it not

“I cannot myselfI never have, nor have I cared toHe prefers it that way, and as I told you, the

“Yes, I do, but never directlyI call several old men at cheap cafés—the names and numbers

“Hey, you’re the guy who went to college over there, not me
“Some of us are overachieversHold it! I’ve got company!”
Below on the bottom of the staircase a small compact black man appeared, his dark eyes
bulging, staring up at the agent, a gun in his handThe CIA man spun behind the edge of the wall
as four successive gunshots shattered the corridorLunging across the open space, his revolver
ripped from its holster, the agent fired twice, but once was enoughHis assailant fell to the floor of

“I caught a ricochet in my leg!” cried the agent“But he’s down—deep dead or not I can’t tell
Sweep up the vehicle and get us both outStay put!”
It was shortly past eight o’clock the next morning when Alex Conklin limped into Peter
Holland’s officeThe guards at the CIA gates were impressed with his immediate access to the

@@@@@The
Baumgartens also moved in, and I often began to
pass their boys playing Frisbee on the beachThey
were just as Wireman had said: sturdy, handsome,
and polite, one maybe eleven and the other maybe
thirteen, with builds that would soon make them
gigglebait among the junior high cheerleader set,
if not alreadyThey were always willing to share
their Frisbee with me for a throw or two as I
limped past, and the older - Jeff - usually called
something encouraging like "Yo, MrFreemantle,
nice chuck!"

A couple with a sports car moved into the house
just south of Big Pink, and the distressing
strains of Toby Keith began to waft to me around
the cocktail hourOn the whole, I might have
preferred SlipknotThe quartet of young people
from Toledo had a golf cart they raced up and down
the beach when they weren't playing volleyball or
off on fishing expeditions
Wireman was more than busy; he was a dervish
Luckily, he had helpOne day Jack lent him a hand
unclogging the Mean Dog lawn-sprinklersA day or
two later, I helped him push the Toledo visitors'
golf cart out of a dune in which it had gotten
stuck - those responsible had left it to go get a
six-pack, and the tide was threatening to take it
My hip and leg were still mending, but there was
nothing wrong with my remaining arm
Bad hip and leg or not, I took Great Beach Walks
Some days - mostly when the fog came in during the
late afternoon, first obliterating the Gulf with
cold amnesia and then taking the houses, as well -
I took pain pills from my diminishing stockWireman was rarely parked in his
beach chair drinking green tea that February, but

Elizabeth Eastlake was always in her parlor, she
almost always knew who I was, and she usually had
a book of poetry near to handIt wasn't always
Keillor's Good Poems, but that was the one she
liked the bestMerwin and Sexton
and Frost, oh-my
I did plenty of reading myself that February and
MarchI read more than I had in years - novels,
short stories, three long nonfiction books about
how we had stumbled into the Iraq mess (the short
answer appeared to have W for a middle initial and
a dick for a Vice President)But mostly what I
did was paintEvery afternoon and evening I
painted until I could barely lift my strengthening
armBeachscapes, seascapes, still lifes, and
sunsets, sunsets, sunsets
But that fuse continued to smolderThe heat had
been turned down but not offThe matter of Candy
Brown wasn't the next thing, only the next obvious
thingAnd that didn't come until Valentine's D | | Friday, December 24th, 2010 | | 2:19 am |
