Trap Line (2010)
““The doctor says another ten days and you’ll be as good as new.” Freed rubbed gently. “Does this feel nice?”
Beeker lay impassively, hands folded behind his head, staring at the fan. After a time his back arched and a grunt forced its way through his teeth.
“Well, at least my favorite part of you has survived nicely,” Freed whispered.
“Sure. That will make everything right?”
“You’re all better now; the doctor says so. It’s over.”
“No, it is not over.”
“I know how you feel. But we’ll get even wi...th Fatso Barnett. I promise.”
“I don’t care!” Beeker buried his head in a down pillow. “I’m leaving. This place sucks. I’m going, Bobby, I am.”
“Don’t be foolish. This is our home now. It could have happened anyplace … anyplace where people are still backward.”
“No, there is a special evil about this place. I want to go home to New York.”
“Absolutely. You get your strength back, and we’ll go back for a visit. Laurie could run the restaurant for us, no problem.”MoreLess
