The Song Dog
Page 29
“Hey? What nonsense is that? We haven’t take any bloody prisoners—and certainly don’t intend to! Go on, tell me, what else?”
“Oh, the Song Dog also warned that one far-off night, Lieutenant, you and me would stand alone together, arm in arm in a black township, wearing red necklaces as bright as petrol flames, on the orders of that selfsame—”
“Necklaces?” said Kramer, bringing the Widow’s station wagon to a juddering halt. “You and me? Us? Whoever heard of blokes in bloody necklaces? What the hell does it take us for, hey? A couple of bloody nancy boys and poofters?”
Zondi laughed and swung his door open, cocking Kramer’s pistol. “You’re right, my boss,” he said. “It is bad enough that the Lieutenant and me go picking the wild, wild flowers now.”
