Malone agreed with him, and wished he would stop talking about Jake and Helene. He didn’t like to admit how much he missed them. It was forever, too. They would e back from their honeymoon and Jake would get a job, probably some nine-to-five affair, and he and Helene would settle down to quiet domesticity.

The sun rose that morning of January first at 7:24. No one of importance noticed it. Malone and von Flanagan had returned to Joe the Angel’s bar for what both agreed would be a last quick one before going home to bed.
警察的脸呈现出一种奇怪的斑驳色调。现在它突然变得坚定而严肃。他凑近这个小个子律师。
