The Bone Man (2011)
“He knew it drove me batso when he crawled along in the car. The more irritated he was with me, the slower we went. Revenge. That was what this was all about.
“Nothing happened, Hank.”
“Yup suh.”
“You know,” I said, “I’m so frickin’ glad to see you, and all you can do is scowl. Dammit. I was with Kranak because he was investigating a crime scene. Nothing more.”
He didn’t move.
“I can’t even see your eyes behind those stupid cop sunglasses.”
The glasses remained on his face.
“You drive me crazy.”... And he did. But the whole story about why I was on the Vineyard and Izod man and my cut face avalanched out. “Satisfied?”
He slipped on a Bluetooth earpiece, which I somehow found shocking in my retro fella. He pressed and mumbled something into the earpiece I couldn’t hear, nodded. Then he pushed the off button.
I waited a good ten minutes while the tarmac of Route 3 plodded by. “C’mon, Hank,” I finally said.
“It’s your face, Tal.”
