after leaving poor larry locked in the black car, the woman in the black suit with gray stripes pushed open the door of al’s place.
willie was sitting alone at one of the four small tables, looking down at his cup of cold black coffee. there were no signs of any other persons.
hello, willie.
hello yourself.
i bet you thought i would never get here.
willie did not answer.
where is al? the woman in the black suit with gray stripes asked.
in the back.
poor al - he has a tough life.
not as tough as mine.
if you say so.
who was the woman in the black suit with gray stripes?
her name was eva plantagenet.
she was one of the first 10,000 experimental amalgamations, of three persons chosen at random from the available fragments of the time - matter continuum.
the three persons were:
dorothy walker, a debutante from the upper east side in 1924.
dorothy’s sister, cecilia.
and jasper jones, a ruffian
eva’s number was 07rf-j8j7.
she was a special agent, number 0023-h.
al came out of the back room, wiping his hands on a faded blue towel with red polka dots.
what did you do with larry? al asked eva.
i left him in the car. what did you think i did with him?
