The Parallax View Page #2

That is, if you feel this job|is interesting enough to stick with it.

Hi, Joe, I got a hot one for you.|Lee Carter called.

Four times. She must want it pretty bad.

- Did you clean up the room, Schecter?|- Sure. I got some mail for you, too.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

- You've been calling me?|- A lot.

Any particular reason?

- Somebody's trying to kill me.|- Somebody besides yourself?

I've never tried to|kill myself successfully.

Last time you were here,|I think you lost your cat.

- I haven't lost my cat.|- The time before, it was your husband.

You may find this difficult to accept,|but I'm terrified.

You were always terrified|about something.

- That some guy might attack you in bed.|- Not as long as you were there.

OK.

Here. Now, why are you here this time?

- I told you. Somebody's|trying to kill me.

- Jesus.

I don't think I should|be looking at this.

- Just look.|- What?

Come on, I looked at this|three years ago.

Six of these people|have since died in accidents.

Four. Look, nobody's trying to kill you.

These people were killed. Whoever|killed them is going to try to kill me.

Austin Tucker thinks that|maybe we all saw something up there.

- We did see something.|- I mean something else!

What do you mean? Has he ever|indicated what he means by that?

Did he see anything other than|what was in the Commission report?

- Did you see anything?|- No.

Neither did I. Believe me, I looked.|We all looked.

- If you didn't see it, it's not there?|- I know all about these accidents.

Ralph Scaletta hit a piling,|killed three other people.

Joy Holder died of anaphylactic shock|from an antibiotic.

Herbert Moon burned up in bed,|smoking. Harry Lutz had a heart attack.

Harry Lutz was 40.|It's too young for a heart attack.

He was in terrific condition.

He found out his wife|was banging her psychiatrist...

...and a bulldozer knocked over his house.

That's future shock, Lee.

You no longer believe|there was another assassin?

People were crazy|for any kind of explanation.

Some nut was always knocking off|one of the best men in the country.

OK. OK.

But there's 6 out of 18 dead.

- Four.|- That was the last time you looked.

Since then, Norman Lomax has died.

- Now Arthur Bridges.|- What are you talking about?

A fishing accident?|Where the hell is Salmontail?

Salmontail is where Austin Tucker|is now. I tried to reach him.

Why don't you call him?|Looks like a small town.

Take me there. We could catch a plane|and be there this evening. Please!

Call him up. It's a fishing accident.|I got some real problems.

You son of a b*tch!

You don't care!

Lee, don't do this.

Hey...
