"Jebus!"
Goner said shockingly, making Frank jump up suddenly. His
heart picked up the pace a few notches.
Finally
some excitement.
"What
is it?" Frank asked. He came running out of the car, his hands went into his jacket and onto the pistols that were holstered
there. Waiting for a chance to sing again.
"I
think I saw Suki!" Goner said as came back excitedly. He had
been standing by the exit. It was like a view screen on a wall; no
matter what they had done they just couldn't step through it. But it
was like the same thing with the vendors and the newspaper;
each and every morning the view would show a different location.
"Suki!"
Frank said. It could be a sign of cabin fever. "Did she see
you?"
"No.
Just when I was staring out the exit and looking at the faces going
by, I could have sworn I saw Suki. But she looked older!"
Then
the subway car hissed for the first time in what appeared to be a
long while.
