=20"Here, Paul. =20"He wouldn't have da=
red put the pills under the rug even if he thought he had time to do so be=
fore she came back=A0=97 the packages were small, but the bulges would sti=
ll be all too obvious. =20It was time for her to=
fade out and show up someplace else=A0=97 Idaho, Utah, California, maybe.=
=20"Little by little Ian relaxed between the two=
men, one of them black, the other white. =20Well, if it bothers you so m=
uch, I'll just have to give you something to take your mind off that old n=
=20She came two or three hesitant steps closer yet=
, and observed a hand reaching from the earth of a fresh grave, the finger=
s frozen in a hideous gesture of supplication.""I can do it,=BBhe said. =
=20It was not a pleasant experience. =
=20"He dry-heaved again, making a desperate burping sound.=
=20In horrible pain now, Paul began to crawl slowly toward the b=
athroom. =20I'm feeling depressed today.</font></p>
<p><font =20color=3D"#FFFFF7">When asked about the possibili=
ty of arson, he said: "It's more likely that a wino crept into the basemen=
t, had a few drinks, and accidentally started the fire with a cigarette. =
=20By the time the sun finally peered through the clouds again, A=
nnie's Cherokee was nothing but a vague hump in the driveway. =
=20When she turned Paul seized the Royal, unmindful of the =
blisters its hot right side was printing on his already swollen right hand=
=20"He thought Colter would then speak of sounds which might=
, be no more than the wind in the trees, sounds amplified by his own imagi=
nation, of course =97 or perhaps a badger bumbling its way down to Little =
Dunthorpe Stream, which lay behind the churchyard. =
=20It had been when Annie had gone away that first time, leaving him =
with no pills. =20But when the farmer in the story finally di=
d that, all he had was a dead goose and a bunch of worthless guts! =
=20"He nodded, although the truth was that he could not feel any=
thing=A0=97 this medication on top of what he'd already given himself was =
rolling him toward unconsciousness at an alarming rate, and he was beginni=
ng to see the room through gauzy layers of gray. =
=20He hit the keys harder than necessary, so she would be sure to hea=
r he was typing something, at least. =20If you d=
idn't have something she badly wants, this part of him reasoned, she would=
have taken you to the hospital right away or killed you later on to prote=
ct herself from the Roydmans=A0=97 because for Annie the world is full of =
Roydmans, for Annie they're lurking behind every bush. =20the panic=
ky voice screamed just the as the cop opened the door of his cruiser and s=
tepped out, adjusting his Smokey Bear hat as he did so. =
=20I don't kid myself that you'd care about getting another two peopl=
e killed, if it would help you. =20As the =
car roared away, Paul could make out a bumper sticker pasted to the rear w=
indow. =20"So you just sit there,=BBshe said, lips pulled bac=
k in that grinning rictus, "and you think about who is in charge here, and=
all the things I can do to hurt you if you behave badly or try to trick m=
e. =20She stood lightly poised in the door=
way, her chestnut hair with its mysterious deep-red glints like dying embe=
rs flowing over her shoulders in gorgeous profusion. =20If they w=
ent back into the workplace, they made buying a VCR a top priority so they=
could watch those same soap operas at night. =
=20""Yes,=BBshe said absently, as if this was a foregone conclusi=
on=A0=97 and Paul supposed it was. =20Annie was right; the story=
was turning out to be a good deal more gruesome than the other Misery boo=
ks=A0=97 the first chapter had not been a fluke but a harbinger. =
=20"The capsules=A0=97 pain=A0=97 please, Annie, please, for God's sak=
e please help me the pain is so bad=A0=97 "I know it is, but you must list=
en to me,=BBshe said, looking at him with that stern yet maternal expressi=
on. =20probably meant he was in for a really bad night, because his=BB=
pelvis had gotten pretty quiet over the last two months. =
=20Paul settled hands he could barely feel on the wheels a=
nd rolled the chair toward the hallway, sparing one glance at the ceramic =
penguin on its block of ice. =20Her n's were=
textbook neat, a striking comparison with his own, which had degenerated =
into a humpbacked scrawl. =20I tried to turn the doorknob, but for a few =
seconds it wouldn't turn=A0=97 it was like the door was locked.</font></p>=
