All
right
,
Louis
.

He
hung
up
and
just
sat
there
for
a
minute
longer
.
Then
he
went
in
and
used
the
bathroom
,
put
his
shoes
on
,
and
went
downstairs
.
Well
,
maybe
it
is
n't
Church
.
Jud
himself
said
he
was
n't
one
hundred
percent
sure
.
Christ
,
the
cat
does
n't
even
want
to
go
upstairs
anymore
unless
someone
carries
him
...
why
would
he
cross
the
road
?

But
in
his
heart
he
felt
sure
that
it
was
Church
...
and
if
Rachel
called
this
evening
as
she
almost
certainly
would
,
what
was
he
going
to
say
to
Ellie
?
Crazily
,
he
heard
himself
saying
to
Rachel
:
I
know
that
anything
,
literally
anything
,
can
happen
to
physical
beings
.
As
a
doctor
I
know
that
...
do
you
want
to
be
the
one
to
explain
to
her
what
happened
if
he
gets
run
over
in
the
road
?
But
he
had
n't
really
believed
anything
was
going
to
happen
to
Church
,
had
he
?
He
remembered
one
of
the
guys
he
played
poker
with
,
Wickes
Sullivan
,
asking
him
once
how
he
could
get
horny
for
his
wife
and
not
get
horny
for
the
naked
women
he
saw
day
in
and
day
out
.
Louis
had
tried
to
explain
to
him
that
it
was
n't
the
way
people
imagined
in
their
fantasies
--
a
woman
coming
in
to
get
a
Pap
smear
or
to
learn
how
to
give
herself
a
breast
self-examination
did
n't
suddenly
drop
a
sheet
and
stand
there
like
Venus
on
the
half-shell
.
You
saw
a
breast
,
a
vulva
,
a
thigh
.
The
rest
was
draped
in
a
sheet
,
and
there
was
a
nurse
in
attendance
,
more
to
protect
the
doctor
's
reputation
than
anything
else
.
Wicky
was
n't
buying
it
.
A
tit
is
a
tit
,
was
Wicky
's
thesis
,
and
a
twat
is
a
twat
.
You
should
either
be
horny
all
the
time
or
none
of
the
time
.
All
Louis
could
respond
was
that
your
wife
's
tit
was
different
.

Just
like
your
family
's
supposed
to
be
different
,
he
thought
now
.
Church
was
n't
supposed
to
get
killed
because
he
was
inside
the
magic
circle
of
the
family
.
What
he
had
n't
been
able
to
make
Wicky
understand
was
that
doctors
compartmentalized
just
as
cheerfully
and
blindly
as
anyone
else
.
A
tit
was
n't
a
tit
unless
it
was
your
wife
's
tit
.
In
the
office
,
a
tit
was
a
case
.
You
could
stand
up
in
front
of
a
medical
colloquium
and
cite
leukemia
figures
in
children
until
you
were
blue
in
the
face
and
still
not
believe
it
if
one
of
your
own
kids
got
a
call
on
the
Bone-Phone
.
My
kid
?
My
kid
's
cat
,
even
?
Doctor
,
you
must
be
joking
.
Never
mind
.
Take
this
one
step
at
a
time
.
But
that
was
hard
when
he
remembered
how
hysterical
Ellie
had
gotten
at
the
prospect
of
Church
someday
dying
.
