SANDY AGREED THAT SHE COULD CHANGE THEIR HAIR color. She had a flatness about her that provoked LaChaise: ‘‘What’s wrong with you?’’

‘‘When we got into this, Elmore said that in two or three days we’d all be dead. He wanted to go to the cops, and I talked him out of it.’’

Martin and LaChaise looked at each other, and then La-Chaise said, ‘‘Why? Why’d you talk him out of it?’’

‘‘Because I thought I could still fix things. Get you out of here; pretend I didn’t have anything to do with anything. Now they’ve got me on TV, and they’ll have Martin pretty soon. Elmore was right: he’s dead now and Butters is dead. Not even twenty-four hours yet. If Elmore was right, we’ve got another two days at the most. Then we’ll all be dead.’’

She looked at LaChaise: ‘‘You want to be dead?’’

Martin answered: ‘‘No big deal.’’

LaChaise said nothing at all for a moment, then poked a finger at her: ‘‘I don’t want to hear this shit no more. You go on with Martin, and get the hair stuff.’’

‘‘My picture . . .’’

‘‘You don’t look like that picture—nobody’ll know you,’’ LaChaise said. ‘‘And we need the right stuff.’’

‘‘I might want to make a couple of extra stops,’’ Martin said. ‘‘They’ll have my picture out there as soon as the prints come in. But if I get movin’, I could tap a couple of friends for some decent weapons . . . guys I know from the shows. And we gotta dump the truck, sooner or later.’’

‘‘We can do that tonight,’’ LaChaise said. ‘‘Take the Continental, put the truck in the garage for now.’’ He smacked his hands together. ‘‘Get a couple of ARs if you can . . .’’ LaChaise dug in his pocket for the money Butters had taken from Harp. ‘‘Couple thousand?’’

‘‘Better make it four,’’ Martin said.

‘‘Call me before you talk to anybody—I’ll watch television for your face,’’ LaChaise said. ‘‘And I might try Stadic again. See if he’s heard anything.’’
