i dont know how long we lay there , for i had broken my watch at some point during the night , but eventually there was a knock on the door , and an orderly let herself in to ask how i was doing . he opened the trunk and slid the file box to the back . she was a grown woman who deserved to be treated with respect for the decisions she 'd made in her life . the investigator pushes his hat back , wishes he had a beer . just got in his car and left .
