Death Was in the Picture (2008)
“Mustard and the car were gone, too. I had no way of knowing if they were still on the lot somewhere or if they’d headed on their way. I regretted that; I would have liked to have caught up with them. After the day I’d had, it would have been nice to hitch a ride.
By the time I found the right streetcar, it was after seven and quite dark. I thought about going back to the office and seeing if the guys were there or if they’d left any notes but once I was underway I realized I was bone tired and ...just wanted to go home. If anything exciting was happening, it could keep until the morning. I needed my bed and a bath and a bowl of Marjorie’s good soup.
The following morning, there was something nice about being in the office. Something pleasant and reassuring. It seemed that, lately, everything had been so very busy, I’d barely had a moment to myself. So it was satisfying to spend half an hour alone in the office’s morning quiet, straightening the already tidy rooms, making coffee and trying not to listen through the open window to Hartounian’s secretary on the phone with her boyfriend.MoreLess
