Heaven's Prisoners Page #4

And for a long time,

the man's been...

a massive f***ing migraine

to all of us in New Orleans.

I'll also bet you

that barn you call a house...

that he made your boy Dartez

on that plane.

Which makes you responsible

for any future grief...

the man may cause.

Dave is cool.

A few years back,

he bottled out...

and moved to the swamp

to sleep it off.

He don't want

any part of this sh*t.

The man may have been asleep...

but that was before

you crashed an airplane...

on top of his f***ing head

and woke him up.

Guys like that,

you wake them up...

they don't go back to sleep

so easy.

Not without help, anyway.

Are you telling me

that you don't think...

I know how to play a guy

like Dave Robicheaux?

I'm just telling you

the way it is.

You want to do business

with me...

you clean up your f***ing act.

We will, Mr. Giancano.

Oh, and, Bubba.

Tony and Dom will be checking

in on you from time to time.

See what you're up to.

You don't have any problem

with that, do you?

No, not at all.

Come on, baby.

I went to Ti-neg's last night.

Then I went out

to Sycamore Point...

and sat on the dock

all night...

thinking about what an a**hole

I've been lately.

You didn't drink?

No, I did not.

Look, Dave, if you want to go

back to the first district...

maybe we should think about it.

No, no.

Why not? Because you don't

think I could handle it?

No.

Because I don't want you

to handle it.

You and me...

that's the only thing

I have in my whole life...

that means anything to me

anymore.

Please don't let me

mess that up.

I won't.

I'm over here!

Dave?

Annie!

- He's out here!

- Go!

You're going to be

all right, doll.

You're going to be all right.

I promise.

I promise.

I love you.

Dave.

Hey, man, you got to help me.

You got to take her

to the hospital for me.

I know if I set out after them

right now...

I'll be able to catch them.

We got to get her

to the hospital.

I'm gonna jump in the boat.

I know where I can get them,

but you got to hurry up...

and get over there with her

right now.

- Go as soon as you can.

- Dave.

Make sure

you put a coat on her...

because she felt

kind of cold to me.

Annie already gone, Dave.

She gone.

She gone?

Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Alafair.

Oh, Alafair.

Alafair, you all right?

You all right?

Batist here. Come to Batist.

Come to Batist. Come to Batist.

Oh, honey...

you ain't got to be scared

no more.

It going to be all right.

It going to be all right.

Batist going to take

good care of you, you'll see.

That's right.

It's all right you cry.

It's all right to cry. Mm-hmm.

The truck over here now.

We got supper already fixed.

You ain't eat nothing all day.

We got to take her folks

back to the motel.

They already left.

You put this coat on now.

You want to stand out here

and be a duck?

Come on, now. Come on, let's go.

Jesus.

Feed ducks with Annie?

Hey. Hey.

You just having a bad dream,

little guy.

You got to go back into bed.

Donde esta Annie?

Well...

she's gone away.

She...

You got to go to bed now.

Good luck out there, you.

I'm going to take an outboard

down the bayou.

You should close up

in a couple of hours.

You hear me?

Uh-huh. I heard you.

I'll watch Alafair, too.

Yeah, you do that.

Evening, Mrs. Rocque.

Well, Mr. Robicheaux...

last time I saw you,

you were on your way over here.

You must like it.

It's a real swinging place.

Where's your husband?

In Houston, on business.

Well, how nice for you.

And maybe for you, too.

Hey, baby,

what's with the Vitalis twins?

Tony and Dom are friends

of mine from New Orleans.

You care to join us

for a drink?

No.

Well, if you change your mind...

I was very sorry

to hear about your wife.

You a tough guy?

Hey, I got something for you.

What's that?

I got your dreamsicle

hangin' down low, partner.

Are you saying f*** you to me?

No.

I'm saying f*** you,

f*** your mother...

and f*** your dog.

F***!

Here's your dreamsicle now.

Pick him up.

Who are you talking to,

you f***ing...

Sh*t!

Drop the cuervo, partner...

before I blow your sh*t

all over the bar.

Breathing down there, Dave?

Uh-huh.

Let's all go have a little

sit-down, shall we?

Jesus.

Any more lube

in that coif of yours, Po-jo...

your hair's going to start

breaking off in the comb.

Honey, get them all

another round...

and bring me a diet coke,

would you?

Well, well, well...

now, isn't this nice?

Although, I got to wonder...

what Bubba would make of

two low-level wop dog-d*cks...

sitting here having highballs

with his wife.

Huh, Dave?

Minos...

why don't you

put that piece away...

for a few minutes

and come outside?

I'm not that kind of guy, Dom.

Ow! I love this song.

You want to dance, Miss Rocque?

On second thought, I better not.

I got to take

my friend Dave home.

Seems he's had himself

one f***er of a night.

Y'all tell Bubba I said hey.

I told him to get out of there.

- I didn't know...

- Oh, yes, he was.

I'm looking for a guy

named Toot.

You know anybody named Toot

lives in this neighborhood?

Yeah, I know Toot. Stays above

the hardware store on Josephine.

- Thanks, man.

- Yeah, right.

Jesus Christ, how we supposed

to get this up there?

It's a four-man job.

They only ordered two men.

It's way too long,

I'm telling you.

Sh*t.

Drop it, Toot,

or I'm going to park one...

in the back

of your f***ing head.

Toot,

what happened to your door?

Come on, Bobby. Two more steps,

and we're going home.

On three here.

Bobby, get it off the railing.

You're going to scratch it.

Now, ease in there.

Please sit down.

It's your play, Toot.

- Shoot that f***er!

- Shoot that motherf***er!

Shoot him! Kill the a**hole!

Pontiac catalina. Huh.

Had one of these, same color...

a convertible.

Somebody's going

to steal them shoes.

You're a long way

from New lberia, Dave.

The man was involved

in a murder.

You go to his apartment, you're

gonna find a shotgun there.

The sheriff's going to want

to have that as evidence.

Hey. Hey.

Look, the captain's

going to want a statement.

And there may be more,

depending on his blood pressure.

When you get through here...

I'll follow you

down to the first district.

Dave. Dave.

Who'd that bedbug kill?

He killed my wife.

OK, now.

Come back before dark now, OK?

All right.

Hold on, honey.

Whoo!

Wow, this is really out among

the pelicans and the alligators.

Robin, is that you?

Ask me after I'm sure

I'm back on planet earth.

I had to fly one of those

shitty little airlines...

where the pilot's got

a three-day-growth of beard...

and blows garlic and

Boone's Farm all over the place.

We were dropping

through air pockets so fast...

I thought

I was gonna toss my cookies.

Robin, what are you doing here?

Well, now...

Oh, my God.

You said you had

a little girl...

but you never said

she was perfect.

Hi there, sweetie.

What's her name?

Alafair.

Alafair, honey, this is Robin.

Hi. Hola!

Want to show me your house?
