The Stand - The Complete & Uncut Edition
Chapter 72
“Goodbye, Glen.”
The three of them drew together on the west side of the gully, and after a look back over his shoulder, Glen started to go up. Stu followed his progress up the side with growing alarm. He was moving casually, almost carelessly; hardly even glancing at his footing. The ground crumbled away beneath him once, then twice. Both times he grabbed nonchalantly for a handhold, and both times one just happened to be there. When he reached the top, Stu released his pent-up breath in a long, harsh sigh.
Ralph went next, and when he reached the top, Stu called Larry over one last time. He looked up into Larry’s face and reflected that in its way it was remarkably like the late Harold Lauder’s—remarkably still, the eyes watchful and a little wary. A face that gave away nothing but what it wanted to give away.
“You’re in charge now,” Stu said. “Can you handle it?”
“I don’t know. I’ll try.”
“You’ll be making the decisions.”
“Will I? Looks like my first one was overruled.” Now his eyes did give away an emotion: reproach.
“Yeah, but that’s the only one that will be. Listen—his men are going to grab you.”
“Yeah. I figure they will. They’ll either grab us or shoot us from ambush like we were dogs.”
“No, I think they’ll grab you and take you to him. It’ll happen in the next few days, I think. When you get to Vegas, keep your eyes open. Wait. It’ll come.”
“What, Stu? What’ll come?”
“I don’t know. Whatever we were sent for. Be ready. Know it when it comes.”
“We’ll be back for you, if we can. You know it.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Larry went up the bank quickly and joined the other two. They stood and waved down. Stu raised his hand in return. They left. And they never saw Stu Redman again.
