his "It'll be safer for everyone. We won't have to worry about Rasputin popping in on us." "Won't have to worry about catehin' him, either." "We'll get him. We'll figure out a way. The thing is, I want us to end up on top. I'm just afraid he'll nail us if we stay at my place." "Okay. But ya don't s'pose Marta's gonna mind?" "We'll see. Come on." As they unloaded the car and walked back toward Marta's building with their bags, Neal turned his head constantly, on the lookout for approaching cars. "I don't think we got followed," Sue told him. "Probably not," Neal said. "This ain't the movies, ya know." She grinned at him. "What do you mean?" "Yer say in' how we might get killed, as this here's real life? Well, Rasputin, he's real life, too. Works both ways, is what I'm sayin." "I'm still not sure . .." "He's not a movie monster. Even if ya did hang a funny name on him, he ain't... he isn't Freddy Krueger or Jason or that Halloween guy, whatever his name was." "Michael Myers." "Yeah, him. Those guys, they show up anywhere and everywhere for no reason at all. I mean, they're chasin' after ya one second. Then the next, they pop up in front of ya. They always turn up in places where they got no reason to be. But that's the movies. Rasputin's real, so he's not gonna turn up where he shouldn't be. See what I mean?" "I think so." "If he was at yer place, only he didn't hop in a car and chase after us, then he isn't gonna turn up here. Not just yet, anyhow." Unlocking the gate, Neal grinned at her. "You're absolutely right." He held the gate open, then followed her into the courtyard. She looked over her shoulder at him. "He doesn't have a hitchin' bracelet, does he?" "A hitchin' bracelet? No. 1 don't think so." was "Cause if he did, he might be inside you or me right this very second." "There's only one, as far as I know." He patted his pocket, and felt the shape of the thick, coiled snake. "A thing like that," Sue said, "it'd be dangerous in the wrong hands." "It's dangerous in any hands, if you ask me." "Gosh, look at this swimmin" pool. They keep gettin' bigger and better. S'pose we'd get in trouble if we took a dip?" "At this hour? They'd probably shoot us." "Only if we woke "em up." Neal, smiling, shook his head. "I don't think it would be a good idea." "Chicken." "That's me." He led the way up the stairs to the balcony. In front of Marta's door, he set down his suitcase. He pulled the pistol out of his pocket. Holding it ready in his right hand, he quietly unlocked the door with the key in his left. Her apartment was dark. Neal reached inside and found a light switch. Everything looked okay. In a hushed voice, he called Marta's name a couple of times.
