on each other; the way those Rugby players had。 He remembered a bumper sticker
he had seen in Boulder; RUGBY PLAYERS EAT THEIR OWN DEAD。 He could think of
others。 YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT。 Or menu items。 Wele to the Overlook Dining
Room; Pride of the Rockies。 Eat in Splendor at the Roof of the World。 Human
Haunch Broiled Over Matches La Specialite de la Maison。 The contemptuous smile
flicked over his features again。 As the number 2 rose on the shaft wall; he
threw the brass handle back to the home position and the elevator car creaked to
a stop。 He took his Excedrin from his pocket; shook three of them into his hand;
and opened the elevator door。 Nothing in the Overlook frightened him。 He felt
that he and it were simpatico。
He walked up the hall flipping his Excedrin into his mouth and chewing them
one by one。 He rounded the corner into the short corridor off the main hall。 The
door to Room 217 was ajar; and the passkey hung from the lock on its white
paddle。
He frowned; feeling a wave of irritation and even real anger。 Whatever had
e of it; the boy had been trespassing。 He had been told; and told bluntly;
that certain areas of the hotel were off limits: the equipment shed; the
basement; and all of the guest rooms。 He would talk to Danny about that just as
soon as the boy was over his fright。 He would talk to him reasonably but
sternly。 There were plenty of fathers who would have done more than just talk。
They would have administered a good shaking; and perhaps that was what Danny
needed。 If the boy had gotten a scare; wasnt that at least his just deserts?
He walked down to the door; removed the passkey; dropped it into his pocket;
and stepped inside。 The overhead light was on。 He glanced at the bed; saw it was
not rumpled; and then walked directly across to the bathroom door。 A curious
certainty had grown in him。 Although Watson had mentioned no names or room
numbers; Jack felt sure that this was the room the lawyers wife and her stud
had shared; that this was the bathroom where she had been found dead; full of
barbiturates and Colorado Lounge booze。
He pushed the mirror…backed bathroom door open and stepped through。 The light
in here was off。 He turned it on and observed the long; Pullman…car room;
furnished in the distinctive early nineteen…hundreds…remodeled…in…the…twenties
style that seemed mon to all Overlook bathrooms; except for the ones on the
third floor — those were properly Byzantine; as befitted the royalty; politicians;
movie stars; and capos who had stayed there over the years。
