Some footage from Rochester
Chapter 45
For a long time, nobody had any idea where Harry was during the week after he escaped from prison,
2Before he left for Rio,
3And nobody knows for sure to this day,
4Except that there is some footage from a TV station in Rochester,
5Which was bMarisa’s hometown,
6And the place they buried her,
7After someone brought her back to her parents,
8In a black cLearjet with no markings of any kind.
9And so the TV camera crew went to the gravesite,
10And there was someone there who could have been Harry,
11Except that he was dressed all in black,
12And his beard was so thick it’s impossible to say who it was for sure,
13Although when the funeral was over,
14The man in the black coat threw a burlap bag into the grave with Marisa’s coffin,
15And a nosy reporter shoved a microphone in the man’s face to ask, “What’s in the bag?”
16For a moment the man looked like he would turn away without answering,
17But some people can’t resist a camera,
18And so after a few seconds he answered the reporter’s question, saying, “Nothing that will do her any good.”
19“But what’s in the bag?” the reporter asked again.
20“Hearts,” said the man. “I had a few extra ones I didn’t need anymore.”d
