Stil , we both ran the whole night through our heads, picking out each move we'd made. After a while, I let out a breath and said, "I'm good."

"So am I, except that the clerk saw me when I checked in."

"Yeah, but Lane looked sort of Latino and half the people around there looked Latino. I bet the clerk identifies her as the woman who checked in, because she looked like a lot of other women who checked in. And her face is shot up. Good thing I didn't check us in, with Green being black. Then they'd know."

"Maybe Green won't cover for us."

"He couldn't give them too much. He doesn't know who we are, real y."

"He could find out. Or give the cops enough information that they could."

"I don't know. I think Texas is a felony-murder state. If he says he doesn't know what was going on, that he was simply a hired bodyguard for Lane, who was doing something with her computer. If he says that, he'l kick clear. If he lets them know that he knew what Lane was doing, then she would have been kil ed in the course of committing a crime, and that might make a case against him for felony murder."

"So he can't talk."

"He wouldn'tif he knows al this."

"So let's cal Bobby; maybe he can get the word back."

We cal ed Bobby from a pay phone. When he came up on the laptop, I wrote: cal me now voice line: emergency.

He cal ed back five seconds after I was off. I'd only talked to him on a voice line a couple of times. The only thing I knew about him was that he was a black guy, who I thought lived someplace in the Mississippi River South. He had one of those soft Delta accents, and was tied into a lot of interesting black people who, in the sixties, would have been cal ed activists, or maybe, in that part of the world, agitators.

"What happened?" he asked, without preamble.

I gave it to him as succinctly as I could, then said,

"Somebody's got to get with Green. A lawyer, who can tel him to stick with the ignorant bodyguard story. If he lets on that he knew Lane was committing a crime, then they might."

"Felony murder," Bobby said. "Bad for you, bad for me."

"Yeah. Somebody's got to get in touch."

"I can handle that," Bobby said softly. "How are you?"

"We're good, but we're clearing out. We don't think anybody wil be looking for us too hard, but just in case. we're gonna run down, to, ah, Austin."

"Check in from there."

"Talk to you," I said, and hung up.

"Austin?" LuEl en asked.

"It's a big city with lots of people coming and going," I said.

"Other than Dal as, it's about the closest big city to Waco."

"Corbeil's ranch." She was quiet for a while, then said, "So now you're on a revenge trip. Forget Jack, you're going to get them because they kil ed Lane."

"No. If I could, I'd go home right now.
