“D’you remember the comet that hit Jupiter in ‘94?”

Summary
Rust squints, takes one of those long nihilistic drags of his from his cigarette, like pushing a clock faster with your bare hands. Smoke curls out from his mouth and sneaks up under his ear all secret, and Marty turns his eyes away like he’s been slapped. For a second, before he catches himself, Marty thinks: God, the ass I could pick up if I looked like that.

Summary
A loud crunch, unmistakably the sound of crushed glass, sounded behind her and she turned her head halfway. All of a sudden, before she could comprehend what happened, a hand clamped over her mouth. Her back was slammed against the wall and her heart drummed in panic; she wanted to scream out but the hand was preventing her from doing so. The assailant pressed her against the wall with their body weight and held her still, pinned like a butterfly, and a silver blade kissed her throat. Not to cut, just to freeze her, like a doe in the headlights on a winding country road.

Summary
Some little scene sketches from early in Marty and Rust's partnership, and parts of the 1995 investigation. Not in chronological order.
In Louisiana Rust creates his own structure. His work is necessary and not overtly cruel to the larger human organism of which he is a part. He is entitled to the things that allow him to do the work: mattress, cigarettes, books, shoes.
He is not entitled to Marty but has ended up with him anyway. This will backfire.

Summary
Rust — Rust a fool — allows himself to imagine a world in which he turns. A world in which they solve this together, they grind it out and start thinking, really thinking, pavements and hard man-hours, answer to nobody but themselves, they solve it. Marty turns. Let this be that world — it’s the world of shit-all else, it’s the world where Rust wakes up wishing he hadn’t every fucking morning, the world in which he knows the sound a child’s bones, still soft, make under the wheels of an ‘84 Mercedes 230CE — let him have this, just this. Only this.
Marty doesn’t turn. Marty mutters under his breath, “Sanctimonious prick,” and Marty leaves.
They arrest Rust twenty-one days later.

Summary
Back in those hungrier days, Rust kept time on a choke chain.
Never let it wander too far ahead, and gave it a hard jerk when it lingered back where the real danger was. No amount of training gave him cause to trust it. Even when it meandered at his side, he got antsy. Time could get underfoot, tangle his legs, trip him up.
Best thing to do was fill its belly til it trudged the circular track, fat and placid.
So, as it were, he kept time fed and busy those first few months in Louisiana.
In which Rust's circle intersects with that of a female detective.

Summary
“Jesus.” Rust turns his head against the concrete. Under the car, between the wheels, he sees the dead mechanic’s blood spreading in a neat pool from his shattered skull. “Don’t tell me you get off on this shit.”
Marty breathes out. He doesn’t let go of Rust, doesn’t move. He says, “It’s complicated.”
