Roscoe spent the week in bed, staring out the window. How often had he
|
|
thought about the act before resorting to it? It didn't matter now: what the
|
|
invalid said in that crowded theater had set him off and nothing short of
|
|
complete gratification was going to sway him from his course.
|
|
|
|
On Thursday, Jane came by with a brown cardboard box tied with string.
|
|
Roscoe didn't open it in her presence, but he knew what was in there.
|
|
"It was my uncle's," she said, a little abashed. "He was the Royal Hangman
|
|
until 1982. I think that's when they stopped hanging people."
|
|
|
|
Roscoe fitted the loop around his left shoulder and loosely draped the
|
|
remaining rope around his arm. Part of the puzzle resolved.
|
|
|
|
Now all he had to do was find the store.

There are literally hundreds of 7-11 Convenience Stores in Austin, Texas.
|
|
There is a city ordinance that keeps them spaced no closer than one and a half
|
|
miles, but aside from that small restriction, Southland Corp. went for
|
|
saturation bombing.
|
|
|
|
Roscoe checked the 7-11 at MLK and Guadelupe first. He bought a small
|
|
Slurpee. The Slurpee Machine was a slow draw, and the drink was full of ice
|
|
chunks the size of beach sand on Galveston Island. This wasn't the one.
|
|
Roscoe paid for his Slurpee and drank it on the way to 26th & Guadelupe. Up
|
|
the drag.
|
|
|
|
Sixteen Slurpee Machines, sixteen different qualities of Slurpee. Watery.
|
|
Thick. Syrupy. Thin. Broken (non-existent). Variations on a theme.
|
|
Finally, on Burnett, he found it. The Slurpee was perfect. He had found the
|
|
adept.
|
|
|
|
He paid for the Slurpee with a two dollar bill. The adept working behind
|
|
the counter gave him a one-dollar bill and several trading cards featuring
|
|
prominent Rabbis. He nodded to Roscoe, and Roscoe nodded back. Another puzzle
|
|
piece. He drank the Slurpee on the way back home. It was a taste of Valhalla.
|
|
Perfect.
