“ ‘My purse,’ she said, as they drove back to Bobby’s.
William Gibson [from Chapter 78. Their Different Drummer, Spook Country]
Guided by the spirit of Ochun, Tito climbs the nylon rope and secures the magnets to cover the nine bullet holes from Garreth’s gun. On his way out of the shipyard, a helicopter comes out of nowhere, shining an “insanely bright light” as Tito catches his jeans on the top of a fence “like a child, no systema at all.” Climbing down, Tito meets
Igor and two other young men moving a piano to their new practice space. [416 characters]
Powell Street [Vancouver, BC]
Zoom in using the hybrid view and you will clearly see the black eight-story “live-work” building [“built on an entirely different scale”] on Powell street
Garreth and Hollis, pretending to be location scouts for an untitled movie, enter an eight-story “live-work” building [“built on an entirely different scale”] on Powell street with the Pelican case, a tripod and leather apron. After verifying a direct line of site to the shipping container and checking the radiation level of the case, Garreth assembles a rifle [“biomorphic, counterintuitive, like something from a Max Ernst landscape”] and prepares to shoot nine Remington silvertips full of medical cesium into “evenly spaced along forty feet of Cor-ten steel” along the bottom of the shipping container filled with
super spoiler. [658 characters]
Recovering from Brown’s near-fatal attack and with the spirit of Oshosi “huge in his head,” Tito jumps into the back of an enormous pickup truck on its way to the shipyard. In the back, Tito calls the old man to tell him that Brown tried to kill him. [250 characters]
