林中散步
远离喧嚣的尘世，走进密林深处。一边做着深呼吸，一边听着鸟的议论、树的低语。不期然，与鹿撞个满怀，从她清澈、纯静的瞳孔里，猛然地，
Kimberly还没回来，Wolf的家里又多了一个女人----他与那个小个女人生的Lucy。Lucy也患了癌症， 她的妈妈厌烦了医院，化疗，吃药，哭闹，把她赶出了门，让Lucy找她的爸爸去。
“I’m sick of this, so sick of it! Why don’t you go to that heartless dwarf (矬子)? It’s about time he has a piece of your shit.”
Lucy和Niomi很合得来，两人一起进进出出，有说有笑，很像是一对好姐妹， 虽然她们的外貌一点儿也看不出有血缘关系。 Niomi又高又大，粗声大气；Lucy小巧玲珑，安静舒缓，化疗后，掉光了头发，小脑袋光光的，圆圆的。 她的脸上身上有很多疙瘩，又大又红，据小镇人讲，只有吸毒的人才会长那样的疙瘩。
Wolf一个人忍受着新婚被弃的痛苦，一个人照顾两个需要人照顾的女儿，还有那十只野猫变成的家猫，可谓是苦不堪言。
一天，我遛狗时遇见Wolf，这一次，我没想尽快躲开。
”How are you?” 我跟他打招呼。
“Good, well, actually not good.” 他不动声色地答道。
我扬起眉梢，等候他对not good的解释，我真的很感性趣。
“The cops took me to the station. I just came back..” 他答道。
”Why？”
“Niomi called 911, told them I molested her.”
“Oh!” 我不知道说什么好。
”I was lucky. The cops only talked to me about 5 hours, asked a lot of questions, and let me go. They could charge me, you know, for that kind of stuff.” Wolf摇着头说，一副侥幸的样子。
“But you didn’t do it.” 我不相信他会干出那种事，他还不至于那样下作。
“Oh，hell，I didn’t do it. But how can I prove it, just word against word? If they want to charge me, they could.” Wolf对自己的分析很得意。
面对这样的ordeal， 他还觉得lucky, 我无言以对。
“Niome still lives with you?” 过了一会儿，我问。
”Yes, she came back, in cop’s cruiser. She was pretty happy about that.”
“Poor girl! What are you going to do with her?” 我很为他担心。
“What else can I do? She is my daughter though I’m trapped as trap can do.” 他笑了起来。
以后的日子里，我们经常看见Niome从警车上走出来，一副洋洋得意的样子，脖子一梗一梗的，肯定是又告Wolf的状了。
Niomi和Lucy的关系越来越紧张。Lucy身体有病，脑袋还正常，她不满意Niomi一次又一次地叫警察。
“Can you cut that out?” Lucy轻声对Niomi说。
“I don’t know.” Niomi 拉长声音说。“He is my dad. My dad.” 她突然转过身，“Where is my cereal， Lucky Charm？Did you eat it?”
Lucy拉了一下Niomi，“You might put dad in prison. Do you know that? Do you want that?”
Niomi没理Lucy。“My Lucky Charm, my cereal, even cats know that.” 她抱起一只小花猫，模仿猫的叫声，用猫的身体一下一下地撞击Lucy的脸。“Where is my Lucky Charm? I’d like to know at this moment, now!”
Lucy倒退着，向后躲闪。Niomi一步一步把Lucy逼到墙角，继续用猫击打Lucy的脸，小猫扭动着身子，想挣脱出来，尖声地叫着。“Where is my Lucky Charm? I am asking you, bitch, where is my Lucky Charm?”
Wolf听到外面的吵闹声，从卧室里走出来，一脸的疲倦。他看见大个子Niomi有条不紊地用猫击打Lucy的头和脸，小个子Lucy，两条胳膊，一会儿伸出来胡乱拍打，一会儿抱头躲闪。“What’s going on? Cut it out, Niomi!” 他上前去拉Niomi。Niomi转过身来。“Don’t touch me! Geez, don’t fucking touch me!” 她走到电话机旁，拨了911。
“My dad touched me, and that bitch too.” Niomi对着话筒说。听了一会儿，她接着说，“She has cancer. Dad asked me to take care of her. She looks funny, you know, no hair.” 她像说悄悄话一样贴近话筒，“she is going to die.” 然后又直起身子，“ I take care of her alright, but she ate all my Lucky Charm. Let the bitch die, like I care.” 她转身望着Lucy，“I want you to take her away, and also my dad.” 她突然像想起了什么，“Oh, oh, make sure you send that Mark here, he is a looker, cop Mark, last time I came home in his car.”
Wolf望着眼前的一切，一点儿办法也没有。
Lucy跑了，没回她妈妈那里，不知跑哪儿去了。
