[He's looking now, though. Out here on this farm road, shouldn't there be cows, sheep, horses? Birds on the telephone wires? He slows down a little, partly because they're close and partly because Law has good intuition and now he's really looking.
He hits the brakes and stares when they come alongside a field of corn, and every single plant is the same height, and every flower on the stalks are at the same stage of growth. With the breeze ruffling through the leaves he can't say for sure that the plants themselves are identical, but they're uncomfortably similar. It's at this point also that the radio station he'd had on low in the background fades out to static as if they've lost the signal.]
What was the house number again?
[Got to be one of these next few, he can only imagine, as he gives the car some gas and they get moving forward again.]
