Somewhere in Arizona / 某處在亞歷桑那州中

Joe leaned his head against his hand. The soft plastic rim of the condor machine's open window bit into the sparsely haired skin of his upper-arm as he waited for the light to change. A line dimpled the skin between his eyes. / 喬倚靠了對抗他的手他頭。 當他等候光改變的時候,禿鷹機器的開放窗戶的軟塑膠的邊緣進入稀疏地頭髮的他上臂的皮膚之內咬。 一條線凹陷了在他的眼睛之間的皮膚。

As for him, it was just him and his baby. Idling, when she should've been going flat out on this highway, his hands guiding and correcting her thrilling power and speed. His thoughts were too heavy. Outside of battle his secret, the same secret that fueled his dark-joyed spleen, made him a hollow thing. / 關於他,它是正直的他和他的嬰兒。 不作事, 當她在這一條公路上傾全力去的 should've ,他的指導和改正她的毛骨悚然的力量和速度 的手。 他的想法太重。 在戰爭的外邊他的秘密,激發了他的黑暗脾臟快樂的相同秘密,使他成為一件空的事物。

He turned his head a bit, and looked out of the window, seeing nothing but darkness beyond the street-lights. He studied the heavens. This sky was the biggest he'd seen in a while. It went on forever, its color dark and deep, stars scattered in it like grains of sand. Like in an hourglass. / 他轉向了他的頭一點點, 而且向窗戶外看,只看見黑暗超過街道-光。 他學習了天堂。 這天空是他已經在一會兒方面看到的最大。 它永遠地繼續, 黑暗的它顏色而且深入地,星像沙子的穀粒一樣在它裡面散佈。 相似的在一個時漏中。

How many kills had he made this afternoon? Not enough. Not nearly enough. Even now, as he waited for the light to change, enemies could fall out of the beautifully starred night with crushing fire. Between the shrapnel in his brain and fucking / 他今天午後已經做多少殺? 不是充足。 不是幾乎足夠。 甚至現在,如同他等候光改變一樣,敵人可以和打破得支離破碎的火美好地夜晚主演的解散。 在他的腦開花彈之間而且性交
Galactor he didn't have much maneuvering room. / Galactor 他多沒有調遣房間。

His lips pooched out as he bit the inner sides of his mouth. / 當他咬了他的嘴內部的邊時候,他的唇狗出。
He, Condor Joe, the scariest science ninja ever, was gonna die on account of some dog. Funny thing, he'd known that if he'd failed to rescue the puppy he would not have been able to live with himself. He'd saved the puppy, and looked like he didn't get to live with himself anyway. / 他,禿鷹喬,曾經擅長日本武士隱身術的最容易受驚的科學,將要因為一些狗死。 好笑的事物,如果他有沒有救出他將會沒有能夠和他自己居住的小狗,他已經知道那。 他有解救了小狗, 而且看起來像他一樣沒有開始和他自己無論如何居住。

The grumble of the approaching motorcycle swarmed at the edges of his concentration. He knew that motor. Had helped put it together himself. / 接近摩托車的怨言在他的集中邊緣群集。 他知道了那一個馬達。 已經幫助將它集合起來他自己。

Jun's lips parted wordlessly. Her slim fingers clenched on the rim of her helmet. Dismay punched its way into her gut, and bloomed on her face. Joe shut his eyes.

He swallowed. / 六月的唇沈默地分開。 她的瘦手指在她的鋼盔邊緣上緊握。 沮喪以拳重擊它的方法進她的勇氣之內, 而且在她的臉上開花。 喬關上他的眼睛。 她到達出她的手而且碰觸了他的顎, 她的拇指逐漸地疏刷他的頰, 只是碰他, 只是讓他知道它將會是好, 他將會是好。 他的眼睛打開。 他吞。

She was panting as her bike thrummed and groaned between her legs. Her eyes watered from the vicious wind. This was like old times, when she and Joe spent every spare minute at the racetracks. Ghosting drivers, ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the engines and wheedling the occasional ride. / 當她的腳踏車在她的腿之間指彈而且呻吟的時候,她正在喘息。 她的眼睛從邪惡的風澆水。 當她和喬在那時候每多餘的分鐘在賽馬場花費的時候這像舊的時代。 鬼駕駛員, ooh-ing 和 ahh- 在引擎上的 ing 而且以甜言蜜語誘惑偶然的乘坐。

Joe's arms were corded tight, as he clung to the wheel. The narrow muscles of his lower back solid with tension. He was not alone, and he was laughing. Laughing hard, and his laugh, like Jun's hair unfurled darkly across the night. / 喬的手臂緊緊地是用索子梱紮的,如同他黏附於輪子一樣。 和緊張的他比較低的後面固體的狹窄肌肉。 他不孤獨,而且他正在笑。 努力地笑, 和他的笑,像六月的頭髮暗展開橫過夜晚。

The road dipped. His teeth clicked together. Jun's red lights winked out of existence.

stretch. The condor machine's straining engine chewed up the distance between them as the signs cried: Road Ends in 100! Road ends 50 ft!

His headlights bleached her resting figure titanium white. / 伸展。 當符號哭的時候,禿鷹機器勞累引擎那咬碎在他們之間的距離: 道路在 100 結束! 道路結束 50 ft! 他們捕捉了空氣,喬的牙齒按, 道路的結束養育在上面遇見他們,道路再一次浸。 六月向前地噴出,自由和清楚地。 升起一大堆灰塵,喬的汽車突然停止。 他的前燈漂白了她休息數字鈦白色。

America, Joe stuck out as something more different still. He cultivated that difference it seemed. In battle it came out as recklessness, and she'd decried it many a time, but tonight, she thought, here and now, as she watched him stick his torso in the passenger window of his vehicle, and raise a ruckus of noise and curses as he dug up something for her to drink, it made her heart expand. / 美國 , 喬附著出如更不同的東西劇照。 他種植了它似乎的那一種不同。 在戰爭中它出來如鹵莽,而且她有許多次責難了它,但是今晚,她想, 這裡而且現在,如同她看一樣當他挖的時候,他黏住他的車輛乘客窗戶的他軀幹, 而且升起噪音和詛咒的一個喧鬧在東西讓她喝,它使她的心擴張上面。

"Here," Joe said, coming up with a hip flask and tossing it to her. It caught light as it flipped end over end, winking with a metallic glint. / "這裡" ,喬說,對她提出一個臀部細頸瓶而且投擲它。 當它用指頭彈了在結束上的結束時候,它輕裝地捕捉,以金屬的閃爍眨眼。

Her eyes widening in surprise as she tasted the liquid. "This is water!" she exclaimed. / "我從不喝,喬",她用粗銼刀銼。 "我剛剛聽到故事" ,但是她微笑從字取出刺。 她提示了對唇的細頸瓶。 她的在意外中擴大 的眼睛當做她嚐了液體。 "這是水"! 她大叫。

Jun pondered this for a few seconds, hopping onto the hood of his car and drawing her jacket tighter around her. The hour was late, later then she was used to, so Joe gave her time. Her eyes were thoughtful. Her hair had flattened out in the driving wind and hung limp around her face. She yawned. / 六月沉思了這數秒,在他的汽車頭巾之上單腳跳而且在她周圍畫比較緊的她夾克。 小時很遲,然後稍後她習慣於,因此,喬給予了她的時間。 她的眼睛是深思的。 她的頭髮已經在強勁的風中而且變平在她的臉周圍吊跛行。 她打哈欠。

"Joe," asked Jun, "What's wrong?" / "喬",問了六月 ",怎麼回事"?

ISO. She looked like a kid again. Like she had when they'd first met and he'd thought her uncomfortably pretty for a boy. / 國際標準組織。 她再一次看起來像一個小孩一樣。 喜歡當他們有首先遇見的時候,她有,而且他有對於一個男孩是漂亮的不舒服地想了她。
Her eyes were that same sudden thick-lashed green and her skin white, as white as it had always been, whiter even. She looked serious, and smart and kind, her lips a promise of all things lush and lovely. Joe shook his head and looked away. / 她的眼睛是那麼相同的突然厚的- 鞭打綠色和她的皮膚白色, 像它一樣白色總是, 比較白的平坦。 她看起來嚴重, 和聰明的和親切的, 她的唇所有的事物一個諾言飲和可愛的。 喬搖頭而且看離開。

"Joe?" she insisted, going cool with dread. After today's battle, Jinpei had taken her aside and said, "Aniki's trying to kill himself." At the time she'd dismissed the comment. / "喬"? 她堅持,和恐懼變涼爽。 在今天的戰爭之後, Jinpei 已經帶她旁白而且說,"Aniki's 嘗試殺他自己". 當她有摒棄了意見的時候。

"Okay," / "好",

*********

Backtracking to the starting line took much longer than Joe expected because he was worrying. Worrying over Jun's helmetlessness ("Why didn't you get your helmet, numbskull?!" / 退回到出發線拿多比較久比較因為他正在煩惱,喬期望。 在六月的 helmetlessness 之上煩惱 ("你為什麼沒有得到你的鋼盔, numbskull?!"
"You had too much of a head start!") and what he was going to tell Jun when she cornered him. / " 你一個領先有太多"!)而且他將要告訴她迫至一隅了他的六月什麼。

The stop lights of the intersection blinked off and on. Jun's helmet was where she'd dropped it. / 十字路口的停止光走開眨眼和在之上。 六月的鋼盔是她有降低了它的地方。

"I can't believe how deserted this place is," she said. / " 我不能相信如何遺棄這一個地方是",她說。

"This is a desert," Joe replied. / "這是一個沙漠",喬答覆。

He made no protest when she pulled up beside him, nor when she followed him into the rented cabin and sat herself on the couch. / 當她在他旁邊拔出的時候,他沒製造抗議, 也不當她在長椅上跟隨他進被租用的小屋而且參加她自己的時候。

"No," she replied. She'd rest her eyes for a few minutes. / "不" ,她答覆。 她將會休息她的眼睛數分鐘。

Her eyes fluttered open, "No." / 她的眼睛擺動開放的,"號碼"

"You look it," Joe replied. / "你看它",喬答覆。

She sat up, and pulled Joe down beside her. "What's wrong? What were you doing at the stoplight?" / 她熬夜, 而且在她旁邊把喬拉下。 "怎麼回事? 你正在停止行進號誌做什麼?"

Lot's of things, Joe wanted to say. Only it seemed more logical to put his hands on hers. It felt right to allow his head to drop on her shoulder. Like old times, when he was a new orphan and she was barely a girl and they'd talked in the language of kittens. / 許多事物,喬想要說。 只有它變得更合乎邏輯在她的之上放他的手。 它覺得正確允許他的頭在她的肩上降低。 相似的舊時代,當他在那時候是新的孤兒,而且她幾乎是女孩,而且他們有以小貓的語言說話的時候。

Jinpei didn't really liked to be hugged and kissed. Not as much as / Jinpei 不真的喜歡被擁抱而且吻。 不同樣地很多的當做
Joe had. It had gone on for a very long time, despite Nambu's best efforts to impress upon Jun the need to behave like a proper young lady, and for Joe to accept the mores of his adopted country. Then they grew up, and full-fledged adolescence accomplished what Nambu and cultural injunctions never could. / 喬有。 它已經繼續達非常長的時間之久, 不在乎 Nambu's 最好的努力在六月之上感動需要像一位適當的年輕淑女行為表現, 而且讓喬接受他的被收養的國家習俗。 然後他們長大 , 和羽毛生齊的青春期完成的什麼 Nambu 和文化的禁制令從不可以。

With Joe's hands around her wrists and the memory of his sorrowful face the old need, the old affection, reasserted itself. She freed one hand from his, his fingers rougher then she remembered, and curled it around his shoulder. The fingers of her other hand splayed over the unfamiliar bulge of his bicep, as she said with wonder, "We almost died again today." / 藉由喬的手在她的手腕和他的 sorrowful 的記憶周圍面對舊的需要,舊的愛,再斷讞它本身。 她釋放一傳遞從他的, 然後比較粗糙的他手指她記得, 而且在他的肩周圍弄捲它。 她的手指其他的手在他的 bicep 的不熟悉的脹之上張開,當她以奇蹟說的時候,"我們幾乎今天再一次死" 。

Joe said nothing, merely pulled her closer, turning and shifting into a position he hadn't assumed with a girl since Jun was thirteen. He'd been told that his sense of smell would be the first to go. He inclined his head to Jun's hair. She smelled like slightly sweaty Jun. Brain damage? he thought, what brain damage? and chuckled. / 喬什麼也不說, 只拉她的比較靠近的, 將而且改變變成一個位置他沒有和一個女孩假定自從六月以後是十三。 他已經被告訴他的味道感將會是第一去。 他使對六月的頭髮他頭傾向了。 她聞了同類些微出汗的六月。 腦損害? 他想,什麼腦損害? 而且吃吃的笑。

Facing him Jun smiled placidly. Already he seemed better, happier. / 面對他六月平靜地微笑。 已經他變得比較好,比較快樂的。
This was as things should be. She had always been able to make him feel good and he her. When they'd done this as children, he'd been a new orphan and she barely a girl. They'd been grubby little rug-rats who liked cuddling just as much a fighting. She was sick of fighting. Sick of open flame and hard noise and the smell of iron everywhere. / 當事物應該是的時候,這是。 她總是已經能夠使他感覺很好和他她。 當他們已經做這如孩子的時候, 他已經是新的孤兒和她幾乎一個女孩。 他們已經是生蛆的小毯子- 喜歡正如撫抱如很多一個戰鬥的老鼠。 她對戰鬥厭煩。 各處的開放火焰和難的噪音和鐵的味道病人。

They toed off each others sneakers, Joe giggling a little (he'd always been more ticklish down there). Jun twisted, trying to figure out the right fit of her legs over his. Their bodies had changed so much. / 他們走開到彼此運動鞋稍微吃吃地笑 的喬。 ( 他有總是更易倒的在那裡墬落) 六月擰, 嘗試在他的之上理解她的腿正確的適宜。 他們的身體已經改變這麼多。

"Here," Joe said, and half lifted her hip, sliding under her so that she lay half on, half off him. She twisted so that both arms reached over his shoulders, looping herself over him like she'd done when they were younger. This new position brought Joe to sudden stillness. / "這裡" ,喬說,而且一半舉起了她的臀部, 在她下面的滑以便她放置一半在,之上一半離開他。 她擰,以便兩手臂伸過手去他的肩, 當他們是比較年輕的時候,在他之上使她自己成環像她已經做。 這個新的位置帶喬去突然的靜止。

"Uh, Jun." / "Uh,六月".

"What," she murmured sleepily and rubbed against him. He went light- / "什麼",她想睡地低語而且摩擦他。 他輕裝地去-
headed, thrilling at the sweet give of her breasts against his chest. / 印有抬頭的, 毛骨悚然的在甜蜜對抗他的胸她胸部給。

"I don't remember these," he answered, his head swaying back as he pulled her even closer to him. / "我不記得這些",他回答, 他的搖動背面 的頭當他拉了她甚至比較靠近對他。

Jun could not say who kissed who. Lips met and met, at first almost parallel, soft, and gossamer. Then warmer, softer, wetter, realer, until with shocking awareness Jun knew that she was tasting him was, inside him, lip curved around lip, the secret places of her mouth sought out and revealed by his subtle tongue. / 六月不可以說誰吻誰。 唇碰到了又碰到,起先幾乎平行,柔軟 , 和小蜘蛛網。 然後比較熱的﹐比較軟的﹐和比較濕的﹐比較真正, 直到由於令人震驚的覺察六月知道,她正在嚐他是, 內部他,在唇的周圍被彎的唇,她的被他敏感的舌尋找而且顯示的嘴秘密的地方。
