.Then I have two choices: I either convince them that they rewrong, and then I got to find somewhere to put them and we waste a day drivingaround with them stinking up the trunk until we find a place, or else I m theone stinking up the trunk and, between you and me, that s not gonna happen.Weclear? My coffee, OJ, and toast arrived.I poured the coffee and offered Willie theoption of a fresh refill.He accepted, and thanked me.He was nothing if notpolite. We re clear, I assured him. I know all about you, he said. You could screw up Paradise.The onlyreason you re still alive is that even God doesn t want you near Him.I hearyou re working with Elliot Norton on the Jones case.Is there something I needto know here, because that case stinks like my kid s diapers? Andy told me youwanted to speak to the half-breed, Tereus. Is that what he is? The fuck am I, his cousin? He relented a little. His people came fromKentucky way back, is all I know.Who knows who they were fucking out there?There are people in those mountains who are maybe half fucking goat becausetheir daddies got an itch at a bad time.Even the blacks don t want nothing todo with Tereus or his kind.Lesson over.Give me something. I didn t have any choice but to tell him something of what I knew. Tereus visited Atys Jones in jail.I wanted to know why. You find out? I think Tereus knew the family.Plus he s found Jesus. Willie looked unhappy, although not terminally so. That s what he told Andy.I figure Jesus should be more careful about whofinds Him.I know you re not telling me everything, but I m not going to makean issue of it, not this time.I d prefer it if you didn t go back to theclub, but if you do have to go, keep it discreet and don t kick Andy Dalitz inthe balls again.In return, I expect you to let me know if there s anythingthat I should be worried about, you understand? I understand. He nodded, seemingly content, then sipped his coffee. You tracked down that preacher, right? Faulkner? That s right. He watched me carefully.He seemed amused.Page 157 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html I hear Roger Bowen is trying to get him out. I hadn t called Elliot since Atys Jones had told me of Mobley s connection toBowen.I wasn t sure how it fitted into what I already knew.Now, as WillieWyman mentioned Bowen s name, I tried to block out the noise from theadjoining tables and listen only to him. You curious about why that might be? Willie continued. Very. He leaned back and stretched, exposing a sprinkling of sweat under his arms. Roger and me go way back, and not in a good way.He s a fanatic and he hasno respect.I ve thought about maybe sending him away on a cruise: a longcruise, strictly one-way to the bottom, but then the crazies would comeknocking on my door and it would be cruises for everyone.I don t know whatBowen wants with the preacher: a figurehead, maybe, or could be the old manhas something stashed away that Bowen wants to get hold of.Like I said, Idon t know, but you want to ask him, I can tell you where he ll be latertoday. I waited. There s a rally in Antioch.Rumor is that Bowen is going to talk at it.There ll be press there, maybe some TV.Bowen didn t use to make publicappearances too often, but this Faulkner thing has brought him out from underhis rock.You go along, you might get to say hi. Why are you telling me this? He stood, and the other four men rose at the same time. I figure why should it just be me who has his day fucked up by you, youknow? If you ve got shit on your shoe, you spread it around.And Bowen salready having a bad day.I like the idea of you making it worse. What s so bad about today for Bowen? You should watch the news.They found his pitbull Mobley up at MagnoliaCemetery last night.He was castrated.I gotta go tell Andy Dalitz, maybe makehim see how lucky he was just to get his nuts bruised instead of cut offcompletely.Thanks for breakfast. He left me, his blue shirt billowing, his four goons in tow like big childrenfollowing a little piece of fallen sky.Elliot did not turn up for our scheduled meeting that morning.The answeringmachine was picking up calls at his office and at his home.His cellphones both his own and the clean one we were using for day-to-daycontact were off.Meanwhile, the papers were full of the discovery of LandronMobley s body at the Magnolia Cemetery, but hard details were scarce.According to the reports, Elliot Norton had been uncontactable for comment onhis client s death.I spent the morning confirming the details of more witness statements,knocking on trailer doors, and fighting off dogs in overgrown yards.By middayI was worried.I checked on Atys by phone, and the old man told me he wasdoing okay, although he was becoming a little stir-crazy.I spoke to Atys fora couple of minutes, but his replies were surly at best.Page 158 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html When can I leave here, man? he asked me. Soon, I replied.It was only a half truth.If Elliot s fears about hissafety were real, my guess was that we d be moving him soon enough, but onlyto another safe house.Until his trial, Atys was going to have to get used tostaring at TVs in unfamiliar rooms.Pretty soon, though, he wouldn t be myconcern.I was getting nowhere fast with the witnesses. You know Mobley s dead? Yeah, I heard.I m all cut up. Not as cut up as he is.You got any idea who might have done a thing likethat to him? No I ain t, but you find out you let me know.I want to shake the man shand, m sayin? He hung up.I looked at my watch.It was just after twelve.It would take memore than an hour to get to Antioch.I tossed a mental coin and decided to go.The Carolina Klans, in common with klaverns across the country, had been indecline for the best part of twenty years.In the case of the Carolinas thedecline could be dated back to November 1979, when five Communist Workers diedin a shootout with Klansmen and neo-Nazis in Greensboro, North Carolina.Theanti-Klan movements assumed a new momentum in the aftermath while Klanmembership continued to drop, and on those occasions when Klansmen took to thestreets they were vastly outnumbered by protesters [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
