"Wakara, what does umareru mean?"

@@@@@On the other side, to his left, were some @@@@@On the other side, to his left, were some steep, almost precipitous hills which rose abruptly into the Watamai RangeThe channel through the mountains was about two hundred yards wide, an ascending avenue lined by tall buildingsIt was uneven with rolls and dips, great boulders and slattern mounds of earth, pocked here and there in the rock crevices with spates of foliage like the weeds that grow from the cracks in concreteThe moonlight was clearing the invisible peak of Mount Anaka, lancing downward into the pass and dappling the rocks and knolls with shadowsIt was all very bare, very cold; Martinez felt a thousand miles from the stifling velvet night of the jungleHe moved out from the protection of the grove, advanced a few hundred feet and knelt in the shadow of a boulderBehind him, near the horizon, he could see the Southern Cross, and instinctively he noted its directionThe pass ran due north Slowly, reluctantly, he moved up through the defile, proceeding cautiously along the rocky littered floor of the passAfter a few hundred yards the pass bore to the left and then to the right again, narrowing considerablyIn places the shadow of the mountain covered the corridor almost completelyHe progressed at an uneven pace, loping forward almost recklessly for many yards at a time and then pausing fearfully for seconds which elapsed into minutes while he lashed himself to advance againEvery insect, every tiny animal he roused in its burrow startled him, unmanned him with the noise of its movementHe played a continual deception with himself, deciding to go on only to the next bend in the pass, and when he had reached it and the ground traversed had been harmless, he would pick another objective and proceed on to itIn this way he covered perhaps a little over a mile in less than an hour, climbing upward almost all the timeHe began to wonder how long the pass might be; despite his experience he was teasing himself with the old trick of imagining that each crest before him was the final one and beyond would be the jungle, the rear of the Japanese lines, and the sea As time passed without incident, as more and more of the pass was set behind him, he grew more confident, more impatientHis halts became less frequent, the distance he would traverse each time became greaterAt one point the pass was overgrown with tall kunai grass for a quarter of a mile, and he plodded through it confidently, knowing he could not be observed Until now there had been no place where the Japanese could have established an outpost, and his caution, the elaborate observation he made, had been more from terror, more from the unassailable silence of the mountain and the pass, than from any suspicion of an enemy siteBut the terrain was changingThe foliage had become thicker and covered more area; in several places it was extensive enough to conceal a small bivouacHe scouted them cursorily, entering the little groves in the shadow, moving in a few yards, and then waiting for several minutes to see if he could hear the inevitable sounds of men sleepingWhen nothing moved but the leaves and birds and animals, he would stalk out and continue his advance up the pass At a turn it narrowed again; the opposing cliff walls were not more than fifty yards apart here, and in several places along the route the defile was blocked by a patch of jungle | | 2:12 am |

@@@@@I had an idea she'd been old
when the @@@@@I had an idea she'd been old when the Children of Israel were still grubbing in the gardens of EgyptSometimes she slept, but now she was awake And her reach was long My phone began to ringI went back in, still feeling like two Edgars, one earthbound, the other floating above the earthbound Edgar's head, and picked it up "Edgar? What's this shit about not releasing the paintings to-" "Not now, Dario," I said I broke the connection and called PamNow that I wasn't thinking about it, the numbers came with no problem whatsoever; that marvelous muscle memory thing took over completelyIt occurred to me that human beings might be better off if that was the only kind of memory they hadI don't know what she'd taken, but it was already workingWe talked for twenty minutesShe wept through most of the conversation, 908 and was intermittently accusatory, but when I made no effort to defend myself, her anger collapsed into grief and bewildermentI got the salient points, or so I thought thenThere was one very salient point that we both were missing, but as a wise man once said, "You can't hit em if you can't see em," and the police representative who called Pam didn't think to tell her what Mary Ire had brought to our daughter's Providence apartment Besides the gun, that was "The police say she must have driven, and almost nonstop," Pam said dully"She never could have gotten a gun like that on an airplaneWhy did she do it? Was it another fucking painting?" "Of course it was," I saidI never thought of thatI never thought of herIt was Illy's fucking boyfriend I was worried about Speaking very calmly, my ex-wife - that's what she surely was now - said: "You did thisI should have realized Mary Ire would buy at least one painting, and that she'd probably want a canvas from the Girl and Ship series - the most toxic of allNor would she have wanted the 909 Scoto to store it, not when she lived right up the road in TampaFor all I knew, she might have had it in the trunk of her beat-up Mercedes when she dropped me at the hospital | | 2:12 am |
