〃Turn around;〃 Dean said; and when Toot…Toot turned; Dean examined the dandruffy top of his head。 The crown of The Chief's head would be shaved tomorrow night; and Dean's check then would be to make sure he didn't need a touch…up。 Stubble could impede conduction; make things harder。 Everything we were doing today was about making things easier。
〃All right; Arlen; let's go;〃 I said to Toot…Toot; and away we went。
〃I'm walkin down the corridor; I'm walkin down the corridor; I'm walkin down the corridor;〃 Toot said。 I flanked him on the left; Dean on the right。 Harry was directly behind him。 At the head of the corridor we turned right; away from life as it was lived in the exercise yard and toward death as it was died in the storage room。 We went into my office; and Toot dropped to his knees without having to be asked。 He knew the script; all right; probably better than any of us。 God knew he'd been there longer than any of us。
〃I'm prayin; I'm prayin; I'm prayin;〃 Toot…Toot said; holding his gnarled hands up。 They looked like that famous engraving; you probably know the one I mean。 〃The Lord is my shepherd; so on 'n so forth。〃
〃Who's Bitterbuck got?〃 Harry asked。 〃We're not going to have some Cherokee medicine man in here shaking his dick; are we?〃
〃Actually … 〃
〃Still prayin; still prayin; still gettin right with Jesus;〃 Toot overrode me。
〃Shut up; you old gink;〃 Dean said。
〃I'm prayin!〃
〃Then pray to yourself。〃
〃What's keepin you guys?
