When I walked into the subway at midnight, I discovered that all the turnstiles read "no entry." My writing workshop professor asked a man in the crowd assembled on the mezzanine what was going on. He shrugged. No one seemed to know how long both platforms would be closed.
A large white cop hustled back and forth, walking up the stairs to the street, then back down again. "Can you tell us what's happening?" Zia asked him. He stared at her. She asked again.
He made a face. "I can't tell you."
"Really? Not even a hint? Do you know when can we go back down?"
The cop stopped pacing. "Look lady, if you want to see two dead bodies, go right on down." He practically spat at us.
Geez, sorry for wanting to know what goes on in our city...
