Chapter 35

Last Harvest

It was about time. They had been working through the night for a week and half, making good progress he had to admit, but he had long since concluded that they had enough truffles for this plan.

In fact, the man was so sure they had enough that he began storing some for own use. And he had taken to asking questions in the market about how to prepare them and how long they lasted. The second question was what got him to stop hoarding the truffles he had unearthed.

“They're only fresh for about a week,” said one storekeeper. He wouldn't be done with this plan for more than a week and, if the shopkeeper was right, all the truffles that the man had taken would be, what, “overripe?”

But it was his first question – how to prepare them – that got him in hot water with her.

“What are you doing, you idiot?” she said. “Don't go around Alba asking all these questions about how to prepare truffles when everyone's asking questions about where they all are.”

After that they decided to end the hunt and call in the truck to get them out of the warehouse.

He never could figure out how she knew he was talking to shopkeepers. Must have eyes all around Alba. Gave him the creeps. He wondered what else she saw him doing.

“Idiot, huh! Bitch!”
