He pulled the gun from where it had fallen and Jordan Heels let it lie loosely on the grass. The boy's eyes went wide.
"Government," Richards said quietly.
"Jee-zus!" The boy whispered. Rolf sat beside him, his pink tongue lolling rakishly from the side of his mouth.
"I'm after some pretty hard guys, kid. You can see that they worked me over pretty well. Those clips you got there have got to get through."
"I'll mail em," the Nike High Heels boy said breathlessly. "Jeez, wait'll I tell-"
"Nobody," Richards said. "Tell nobody for twenty-four hours. There might be reprisals," he added ominously. "So until tomorrow this time, you never saw me. Understand?"
"Yeah! Sure!"
"Then get on it. And thanks, pal." He held out his hand and the boy shook it awefully.
Richards watched them trot down the hill, a boy in a red plaid shirt 激安 ルイヴィトン バッグ with his dog crashing joyfully through the golden-rod beside him. Why can't my Cathy have something like that?
His face twisted into a terrifying and wholly unconscious grimace of rage and hate, and he might have cursed God Himself if a better target had not interposed itself on the dark screen of his mind: the Games Federation. And behind that, like the shadow Birkenstock Sandals of a darker god, the Network.
He watched until he saw the boy, made tiny with distance, drop the tapes into the mailbox.
Then he got up stiffly, propping his crutch under him, and crashed back into the brush, angling toward the road.
The jetport, then. And maybe someone else would pay some dues before it was all over.
Minus 045 and COUNTING
He had seen an Jordan Heels intersection a mile back and Richards left the woods there, making his way awkwardly down the gravel bank between the woods and the road.
He sat there like a man who has given up trying to hook a ride and has decided to enjoy the warm autumn sun instead. He let the first two cars go by; both of them held two men, Cheap Louis Vuitton Bags and he figured the odds were too high.
But when the third one approached the stop sign, he got up. The closing-in feeling was back. This whole area had to be hot, no matter how far Parrakis had gotten. The next car could be police, and that would be the ballgame.
