“又是您!晚上好!”

“You again! Good evening!”

今天是星期二,九点十五分。那个又高又瘦的男人拿着黑箱子上车了。长大衣。忧伤的脸。第一排的座位。

It is Tuesday, 9:15. The tall man with the black case gets on. The long coat. The sad face. The first seat.

“晚上好。”

“Good evening.”

“我是Rosa。您是……?”

“I’m Rosa. And you are...?”

他在镜子里看了我很久。

He looks at me in the mirror for a long time.

“Jonas。”

“Jonas.”

“Jonas!好。现在我们是朋友了。”

“Jonas! Good. Now we are friends.”

他不说是,也不说不。我开车。

He doesn’t say yes. He doesn’t say no. I drive.

星期三我问他箱子的事。箱子又黑又重。他总是把它放在腿上。

On Wednesday I ask about the case. It is black and heavy. He always has it on his knees.

“里面有什么,Jonas?枪吗?”

“What’s in there, Jonas? A gun?”

“不是。是工具。”

“No. Tools.”

“工具?什么工具?”

“Tools? What tools?”

“小工具。”

“Small tools.”
