متن انگلیسی فصل

25 Early on Sunday morning, before taking her shower, Janey shows him how to use her iPad. Hodges ducks beneath Debbie’s Blue Umbrella and finds a new message from Mr. Mercedes. It’s short and to the point: I’m going to fuck you up, Grampa.

“Yeah, but tell me how you really feel,” he says, and surprises himself by laughing. Janey comes out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, steam billowing around her like a Hollywood special effect. She asks him what he’s laughing about. Hodges shows her the message. She doesn’t find it so funny.

“I hope you know what you’re doing.” Hodges hopes so, too. Of one thing he’s sure: when he gets back home, he’ll take the Glock .40 he carried on the job out of his bedroom safe and start carrying it again. The Happy Slapper is no longer enough. The phone next to the double bed warbles. Janey

answers, converses briefly, hangs up. “That was Aunt Charlotte. She suggests the Fun Crew meet for breakfast in twenty minutes. I think she’s anxious to get to Sugar Heights and start checking the silverware.” “Okay.” “She also shared that the bed was much too hard and she

had to take an allergy pill because of the foam pillows.” “Uh-huh. Janey, is Olivia’s computer still at the Sugar Heights house?” “Sure. In the room she used for her study.” “Can you lock that room so they can’t get in there?” She pauses in the act of hooking her bra, for a moment frozen in that pose, elbows

back, a female archetype. “Hell with that, I’ll just tell them to keep out. I am not going to be intimidated by that woman. And what about Holly? Can you understand anything she says?” “I thought she ordered a sneezebagel for dinner,” Hodges admits. Janey collapses into the chair he awoke to find her

crying in last night, only now she’s laughing. “Sweetie, you’re one bad detective. Which in this sense means good.” “Once the funeral stuff is over and they’re gone–” “Thursday at the latest,” she says. “If they stay longer, I’ll have to kill them.” “And no jury on earth would convict you. Once they’re gone, I want to bring

my friend Jerome in to look at that computer. I’d bring him in sooner, but–” “They’d be all over him. And me.” Hodges, thinking of Aunt Charlotte’s bright and inquisitive eyes, agrees. “Won’t the Blue Umbrella stuff be gone? I thought it disappeared every time you left the site.”

“It’s not Debbie’s Blue Umbrella I’m interested in. It’s the ghosts your sister heard in the night.”
