Janet Evanovich Quote

[Stephanie] This won't be so bad, I said to her, making an effort at convincing myself. How about your blanket? We could wrap him up in the blanket. Then we could pick him up without actually touching him. I suppose that'd be all right, Lula said. We could give it a try I spread the blanket on the ground beside Elliot Harp, took a deep breath, hooked my fingers around his belt and rolled him onto the blanket. I jumped back, squeezed my eyes closed tight and exhaled. No matter how much violent death I saw, I would never get used to it. I'm gonna definitely have the runs, Lula said. I can feel it coming on. Forget about the runs and help me with this body! Lula grabbed hold of the head end of the blanket, and I grabbed hold of the foot end. Harp had full rigor and wouldn't bend, so we put him in the trunk headfirst with his legs sticking out. We carefully closed the lid on Harp's knees and secured the lid with a piece of rope Lula had in her trunk. Hold on, Lula said, pulling a red flowered scarf from her coat pocket, tying the scarf on Harp's foot like a flag. Don't want to get a ticket. I hear the police are real picky about having things sticking out of your trunk. Especially dead guys.
