And then he hung up. Ove looked at Parvaneh. Looked at Patrick.
Slammed Parvaneh’s cell phone into their kitchen table and boomed that they needed a “New plan! Immediately!”
Parvaneh looked deeply unhappy but Patrick nodded at once, grabbed his crutches, and hobbled quickly out the door.
As if he’d just been waiting for Ove to say that. Five minutes later, to Ove’s deep dissatisfaction,
he came back with that silly fop Anders from the neighboring house.
With Jimmy cheerfully tagging along. “What’s he doing here?” said Ove, pointing at the fop.
I thought you needed a plan?said Patrick, nodding at the fop and looking very pleased with himself.
“Anders is our plan!” Jimmy threw in. Anders looked around the hall a little awkwardly, apparently slightly dissuaded by Ove’s expression.
But Patrick and Jimmy insistently pushed him into the living room. “Go on, tell him,” Patrick prompted. “Tell me what?”
“Okay, so I heard you had some problems with the owner of that Škoda, yeah?” began Anders, giving Patrick a nervous glance.
Ove nodded impatiently for him to continue. “Well, I don’t think I’ve ever told you what sort of company I have, have I?”
Anders went on tentatively. Ove put his hands in his pockets. Adopted a slightly more relaxed position.
