The Speed Queen
“Close was alive when they came back but he had a big knot above one eye and his teeth were bleeding. Lamont was bleeding too, he had this long brushburn on his forehead. One knee of his jeans was torn and he was breathing hard. He pushed Mr. Close down onto the rug and held the gun under his chin while Natalie tied his elbows behind his back and his ankles together. Mrs. Close was crying.
