The Corpse Without a Country (1987)
“I turned toward the door to the living room and there was Maslin staring in.
I said, “Did you get them?”
“I just got here,” Maslin said. “Miss Rasmussen said they left about five minutes ago.”
“Then go get them,” I yelled. “Go down to the Pad. I’ll bet you’ll find them there with Trillian.”
“I just came from the Pad,” Maslin said. He sucked noisily on an empty pipe. “And Trillian isn’t there. Neither is this Emily Calvin dame.” He had stopped laughing and now he was giving me a fishy eye.
“In f...act, the dame that runs the place said they haven’t been there for some time.” He blew through the pipe. It gurgled. “But she said you’ve been there.”
“Jodi and I were there earlier this evening,” I said. “And Emily and Trillian were sitting at the next table.
“The one you busted up?” Maslin asked innocently.
“I didn’t break up any table. What is this?”
“That Willie dame says you did. She says you came in looking for Emily and when you couldn’t find her, you tried to take the place apart.”MoreLess
