he rose and started up the walkway。 she stood at the door。 ill tell you somethin i heard in a movie one time; she said。
he stopped and turned。 whats that?
theres a lot of good salesmen around and you might buy somethin yet。

he went on up the walkway and climbed the stairs and went in。
the barracuda pulled into a truckstop outside of balmorhea and drove into the bay of the adjoining carwash。 the driver got out and shut the door and looked at it。 there was blood and other matter streaked over the glass and over the sheet…metal and he walked out and got quarters from a change…machine and came back and put them in the slot and took down the wand from the rack and washed the car and rinsed it off and got back in and pulled out onto the highway going west。
bell left the house at seven…thirty and took 285 north to fort stockton。 it was about a two hundred mile run to van horn and he reckoned he could make it in under three hours。 he turned the rooflights on。 about ten miles west of fort stockton on the i…10 interstate he passed a car burning by the side of the highway。 there were police cars at the scene and one lane of the highway was blocked off。 he didnt stop but it gave him an uneasy feeling。 he stopped at balmorhea and refilled his coffeebottle and he pulled into van horn at ten twenty…five。
he didnt know what he was looking for but he didnt have to。 in the parking lot of a motel there were two culberson county patrol cars and a state police car all with their lights going。 the motel was cordoned off with yellow tape。 he pulled in and parked and left his own lights on。
