Chapter 23: The List
The tattoo shop on Slappey Boulevard smelled of ink and hand sanitizer, and the artist did not look up.
"What are we doing?"
"One word," Cooper said. "Right here, under the ribs. Where the scar ends."
"What word?"
"Sixty."
The artist raised an eyebrow, and then saw the way Jonas was standing in the doorway with his arms folded, trying not to look worried.
"Sixty what?"
"Days," Cooper said. "And a lot more after."
It took forty minutes.
It hurt less than the dialysis needle and a great deal more than he had expected.
Jonas held his hand through every minute of it.
"That's a lot of squeezing."
"You're a lot of a baby," Cooper said.
"I've been shot."
"Then you should be better at this."
When it was done, the artist wiped the skin with a cold cloth.
Cooper looked down at the clean black letters resting on his side.
They were small and plain.
He ran his thumb beside them.
"There," he said. "Item eight. Done."
