The ceiling fan fluttered the sheets. The cool air gave them goose bumps. Dwight felt a contraction. He knew why— Eleanora just kicked. Karen said, “I should be in Chicago. I shouldn’t be in a folding bed in an FBI drop-front.” She was fuller now. Her nipples were bigger. Her hipbones had disappeared. Dwight grabbed his cigarettes. Karen looked tempted. Dwight put them back down. “Don’t make me jealous, or I’ll hang a sedition case on him.”

Karen laughed. “Did it feel inevitable to you?” “If you mean preordained and mutually agreed upon, yes.”

He emptied out the boxes. The paper piles ran ten feet high. He dumped out his case file last. The murder occurred a heartbeat away. He should have known then. He figured it out late. He acted, because no one else would".

Why can't I find the correct size furnace filter at my local home improvement store for my Carrier Brand Equipment?
