A couple of weeks ago, among the dusty science books on the fourth floor, I realized what the story was, and today I wrote it.
Volpe's on the ground. Ray remembers his eyes, how they went wide if you surprised him, how hard it had been to surprise him. Called for extraordinary measures, but Ray had been up to the task. Today, somebody had surprised him. Ray tries to remember who.
He remembers the voice on the phone, he remembers lying to Fraser about this, for Volpe, for--
He remembers the smile in his eyes (Volpe's smile, but not a smile he'd call 'Volpe') and he remembers...
Nothing that matters. Dre's dead.
Ray starts to run. The one thing he knows is where to go.
So there we have it: Bluster is right even when you think she's not. Let that be a lesson to. Um. Me.
