wendell nodded。 yessir�察�he said。 youre right。 i might be one myself some day。

driving out 90 toward the turnoff at dryden he came across a hawk dead in the road。 he  saw the feathers move in the wind。 he pulled over and got out and walked back and  squatted on his bootheels and looked at it。 he raised one wing and let it fall again。 cold  yellow eye dead to the blue vault above them。

it was a big redtail。 he picked it up by one wingtip and carried it to the bar ditch and  laid it in the grass。 they would hunt the blacktop�察�sitting on the high powerpoles and  watching the highway in both directions for miles。 any small thing that might venture  to cross。 closing on their prey against the sun。 shadowless。 lost in the concentration of  the hunter。 he wouldnt have the trucks running over it。

he stood there looking out across the desert。 so quiet。 low hum of wind in the wires。

high bloodweeds along the road。 wiregrass and sacahuista。 beyond in the stone arroyos  the tracks of dragons。 the raw rock mountains shadowed in the late sun and to the east  the shimmering abscissa of the desert plains under a sky where raincurtains hung dark  as soot all along the quadrant。 that god lives in silence who has scoured the following  land with salt and ash。 he walked back to the cruiser and got in and pulled away。

when he pulled up in front of the sheriffs office in sonora the first thing he saw was the  yellow tape stretched across the parking lot。 a small courthouse crowd。 he got out and  crossed the street。

whats happened�察�sheriff��

i dont know�察�said bell。 i just got here。

he ducked under the tape and went up the steps。 lamar looked up when he tapped at the  door。 e in�察�ed tom�察�he said。 e in。 we got hell to pay here。

they walked out on the courthouse lawn。 some of the men followed them。

you all go on�察�said lamar。 me and the sheriff here need to talk。

he looked haggard。 he looked at bell and he looked at the ground。 he shook his head  and looked away。 i used to play mumbledypeg here when i was a boy。 right here。

these youngsters today i dont think would even know what that was。 ed tom this is a  damned lunatic。

i hear you。

you got anything to go on��

not really。

lamar looked away。 he wiped his eyes with the back of his sleeve。 ill tell you right  now。 this son of a bitch will never see a day in court。 not if i catch him he wont。

well�察�we need to catch him first。

that boy was married。

i didnt know that。

twenty´three year old。 clean cut boy。 straight as a die。 now i got to go out to his house  fore his wife hears it on the damn radio。

i dont envy you that。 i surely dont。

no。 i appreciate it。 i need to go。

i just have this feelin were looking at somethin we really aint never even seen before。

i got the same feelin。 let me call you this evenin。

i appreciate it。

he watched lamar cross the lawn and climb the steps to his office。 i hope you dont quit�察 �he said。 i think were goin to need all of you we can get。

when they pulled up in front of the cafe it was one´twenty in the morning。 there  were only three people on the bus。

sanderson�察�the driver said。

moss made his way forward。 hed seen the driver eyeing him in the mirror。 listen�察�he  said。 do you think you could let me out down at the desert aire�拭�i got a bad leg and i  live down there but i got nobody to pick me up。

the driver shut the door。 yeah�察�he said。 i can do that。

when he walked in she got up off the couch and ran and put her arms around his neck。 i  thought you was dead�察�she said。

she got up and got the preserves out of the refrigerator and set them on the table and sat  back down。 he unscrewed the jar and ladled some onto his toast and spread it with his  knife。

he crossed the pecos river just north of sheffield texas and took route 349 south。

when he pulled into the filling station at sheffield it was almost dark。 a long red  twilight with doves crossing the highway heading south toward some ranch tanks。 he  got change from the proprietor and made a phone call and filled the tank and went back  in and paid。

you all gettin any rain up your way�拭�the proprietor said。

which way would that be��

i seen you was from dallas。

chigurh picked his change up off the counter。 and what business is it of yours where  im from�察�friendo��

well sir�察�i apologized。 if you dont want to accept my apology i dont know what else i  can do for you。

how much are these��

sir��

i said how much are these。

sixty´nine cents。

chigurh unfolded a dollar onto the counter。 the man rang it up and stacked the change  before him the way a dealer places chips。 chigurh hadnt taken his eyes from him。 the  man looked away。 he coughed。 chigurh opened the plastic package of cashews with his  teeth and doled a third part of them into his palm and stood eating。

will there be somethin else�拭�the man said。

i dont know。 will there��

is there somethin wrong��

with what��

with anything。

is that what youre asking me�拭�is there something wrong with anything��

the man turned away and put his fist to his mouth and coughed again。 he looked at  chigurh and he looked away。 he looked out the window at the front of the store。 the  gas pumps and the car sitting there。 chigurh ate another small handful of the cashews。

will there be anything else��

youve already asked me that。

well i need to see about closin。

see about closing。

yessir。
