Michael Malone - Weebly

(with a note pinned to his front door) stolen his son
Arthur's Audi, to which he still had a key. By nine he
was out on Route 3 in conversation with police
detectives who were rummaging among the ruins of the
Haig house. By ten he was in further conversation with
other detectives who were rummaging through stacks of
neo-Nazi literature in Limus Barnum's store. By eleven
he was walking down the hall in Argyle Hospital as
Chin Lam Henry came out of Judith Haig's room. He
asked Mrs. Henry to wait for him in the cafeteria,
explaining that as he'd be going to Madder shortly to
speak with her husband, he could offer her a ride while
she answered a few questions for him. Then he
knocked on Mrs. Haig's door.
By noon he was eating chili in the hospital cafeteria.
By 12:25 he was driving back north from Argyle, his
hands so casual on the steering wheel that no one would
ever suspect that this moderately attired, middle-aged
man, his thinning hair neatly combed, his glasses firmly
in place, was clinging to life suspended over a foreign
sea and convinced that he enjoyed, miraculously,
perfect sight.
