He
looked
at
his
ripped
sleeve
and
his
grazed
hand
and
his
torn
trousers
.
Then
he
walked
up
the
stone
stairs
and
out
of
the
Underground
station
.
Nobody
asked
him
for
a
ticket
on
the
way
out
.
432
"
I
m
sorry
I
m
late
,
"
said
Richard
,
to
no
one
in
particular
in
the
crowded
office
.
The
clock
on
the
office
wall
said
that
it
was
10
:
30
.
He
dropped
his
briefcase
on
his
chair
,
wiped
the
sweat
from
his
face
with
his
handkerchief
.
"
You
wouldn
t
believe
what
it
was
like
getting
here
,
"
he
continued
.
"
It
was
a
nightmare
.
"
433
He
looked
down
at
his
desktop
.
There
was
something
missing
.
Or
,
more
precisely
,
there
was
everything
missing
.
"
Where
are
my
things
?
"
he
asked
the
room
,
a
little
more
loudly
.
"
Where
is
my
telephone
?
Where
are
my
trolls
?

He
checked
the
desk
drawers
.
They
were
empty
too
:
not
even
a
Mars
bar
wrapper
or
a
twisted
paper
clip
to
show
that
Richard
had
ever
been
there
.
Sylvia
was
coming
toward
him
,
in
conversation
with
two
rather
hefty
gentlemen
.
Richard
walked
over
to
her
.
"
Sylvia
?
What
s
going
on
?
"
435
"
I
m
sorry
?
"
said
Sylvia
,
politely
.
She
pointed
the
desk
out
to
the
hefty
gentlemen
,
who
each
took
an
end
of
it
,
and
began
to
carry
it
out
of
the
office
.
"
Careful
now
,
"
she
told
them
.
436
"
My
desk
.
Where
are
they
taking
it
?
"
437
Sylvia
stared
at
him
,
gently
puzzled
.
"
And
you
are
.
.
.
?

I
don
t
need
this
shit
,
thought
Richard
.
"
Richard
,
"
he
said
,
sarcastically
.
"
Richard
Mayhew
.
"
439
"
Ah
,
"
said
Sylvia
.
Then
her
attention
slid
off
Richard
,
like
water
off
an
oiled
duck
,
and
she
said
,
"
No
,
not
over
there
.
For
heaven
s
sakes
,
"
to
the
removal
men
,
and
hurried
after
them
as
they
carried
off
Richard
s
desk
.
440
Richard
watched
her
go
.
Then
he
walked
through
the
office
until
he
got
to
Gary
s
workstation
.
Gary
was
answering
e
-
mail
.
Richard
looked
at
the
screen
:
the
e
-
mail
Gary
seemed
to
be
writing
was
both
sexually
explicit
and
addressed
to
someone
who
was
not
Gary
s
girlfriend
.
Embarrassed
,
Richard
moved
around
to
the
other
side
of
the
desk
.
