“All about me. My name, where I live, where I came from, how long I’ve been working there, all that kind, and then about last night, where I was and what I was doing last night.”
“Did he say why he was curious about last night?”
“No. He just asked questions.”
“What part of last night did he ask about? All of it?”
“Yes, from the time the shop closes, half-past six, from then on.”
“Where did you tell him you came from?”
“I said Carl and I are DPs from Italy. That’s what we had decided to say. We have to say something when people are just curious.”
“I suppose you do. Did he ask to see your papers?”
“No. That will come next.” She set her jaw. “We can’t go back there. We have to leave New York today — now.”
“What else did he ask?”
