Touch
““One part?” I say. “You don’t understand one part? There’s a zillion and one parts of the story I don’t get. So maybe if you tell me what that one part is, I can ask you about the other zillion.”
“I’m sorry,” says Doctor Atwood. “Obviously, there are mysteries here that need to be cleared up. That’s why you’re coming to see me, Maisie. So we can figure it out together. Maybe I should have said there’s one detail that I don’t get.”
“Try me,” I say. I make my eyes go out of focus, and I concentra...te on one of Doctor Atwood’s masks, until its eyes swim together and it turns into Cyclops. I can tell she thinks she’s onto something big. Maybe she imagines that she’s going to catch me in one of those tiny slipups that give the whole case away when the cops are interviewing a suspect on TV. Something that will prove I’m lying, that the incident didn’t happen the way I say it did.
Isn’t that what this is all about? Someone has to be lying. Either it’s me, or it’s Chris and Kevin and Shakes.MoreLess
