Оглавление‘So, you caught him speeding again in the car?’ The Turkey Boy lifted his head from where his chin was resting on his hands on the table. ‘I hope you arrested him this time. He could have almost killed somebody again. And what are you doing hanging around the same place in your car all the time? Sounds to me like you’re stalking him.’
‘I didn’t catch him speeding,’ Raphie explained, ignoring the last question. ‘They went through a red light is all.’
‘Is all? I hope you arrested the flashy bastard.’
‘Well, how could I arrest Lou, now, really, come on,’ Raphie explained, sounding like a teacher. ‘You’re not listening. Stop jumping the gun here.’
‘But you’re so bloody slow at telling the story. Just get to the point.’
‘I am, and I won’t tell you the story at all if that’s going to be your attitude.’ Raphie glared at the Turkey Boy, who didn’t snap back this time, and so he continued the story. ‘It wasn’t Lou that ran the red light because it wasn’t Lou that was driving, I told you that.’
‘Gabe wouldn’t have run the red light. He wouldn’t do that,’ Turkey Boy piped up.
‘Well, how was I to know that? I hadn’t met the chap before, had I?’
‘They must have swapped over on the way home.’
‘Gabe was behind the wheel. Mind you, they were so similar they could easily have swapped, but no, I know it was Lou in the passenger seat, totally blazooed with both eyes in one socket.’
‘How come you just happened to catch him in the same place again?’
‘I was just keeping an eye on someone’s house, is all.’
‘A murderer?’ The Turkey Boy’s eyes lit up.
‘No, not a bloody murderer, somebody I know, is all.’
‘Were you following your wife?’ the boy perked up again.
Raphie shifted uncomfortably in his seat. ‘What do you mean?’
‘To see if she’s having an affair.’
Raphie rolled his eyes. ‘Son, you watch far too much television.’
‘Oh.’ The Turkey Boy was disappointed. ‘So what did you do when you caught them?’
