Thirst No. 5
“5 SEVEN Ninety minutes later we sit in a restaurant in Chapel Hill, only five miles west of Clearglade and 134 Tree Leaf Lane—the address Brutran plucked from her database for Mrs. Sarah Goodwin, the granddaughter of Harrah and Ralph Levine.
Outside, it’s dark; the night feels early for all of us. Traveling from the West Coast to the East has pushed us through three time zones. Brutran, Jolie, and Seymour are tired and hungry, or they were hungry. Seymour has just devoured four pieces of fried... chicken and mashed potatoes. Brutran and her daughter have shared a piece of swordfish and a bowl of rice. Even Matt and I have fed. Matt ate a hamburger and fries while I shared some of Seymour’s chicken.
Jim dropped us off in Chapel Hill an hour ago. We’re holed up in the restaurant as much to think as to eat. None of us can be sure we’ve thrown them off the scent. I’ve stretched out my hearing as far as possible. The best I can tell, no one is talking about us in the immediate area.MoreLess
