Novel & Cerita Best Cormac Mccarthy

La Bete “And the best law student of the year goes to Vaughn Saint-McCarthy!!” The emcee announces and the crowd erupts into cheers as ‘the best law student of the year,’ emerges to collect his award. “Vaughn Saint-McCarthy.” His name rolls out of my tongue casually and I scoff, my eyes glued on the TV in front of me. Anyone who would see me now will think that I'm the biggest fan of Vaughn but I'm going to be his worst enemy and I will strike him where he would least expect it.

Low. Bastardly melodious. Unmistakably Irish. I step into the dim light, and there he is. Cormac Donnelly. The Irish Consigliere. He’s taller than I expected. Maybe six two. With broad shoulders filling out a dark gray coat that looks more suited for a winter funeral than a meeting in the stinky sewers.

Cormac laughs, short and real. The three of them exist in the room together for a few minutes and I move back into the corridor because this is not mine to witness. I hear Cormac's voice, low and steady, telling Finn something. I cannot make out the words and I do not try to. When Cormac comes out he is carrying himself the way he carries himself after bad raids, the careful controlled posture of someone managing something large by keeping very still around it. "She's right," he says. "I know."

“It’s somewhere safe. A place where no one is going to find you.” I’m still trying to decide if that sounds hot as sin or absolutely terrifying coming from him as he roars the SUV to life and peels out into the night. Chapter Two Cormac They say I’m the best there is at what it is I do. Some people think it’s because I’m married to the job, so to speak. That I know no other life than the rule of the gun and primal urge to hunt and to bring down. Others think it’s my military background, that the Marines hammered rigorous discipline into me like a machine.

I could feel my heart beating fast because of what I saw. “That is what the media should see. . . the CC that is pure and free. . .” I told myself. I know Cormac didn’t bring me here for anything. I know that in this way, even if he can’t tell the story, he’s already giving me information about what his life is like. Behind all those cars. . . contrary to what most people think of him. . . this is Cormac Carter— the real one. “This will become a sure hit,” I whispered to myself. “Why are you hiding the real you, Mr. Carter?”

"I know things. Secrets about the Levis. About Alexander. About Dysis." Cormac’s fingers drummed lightly against the glass, a patient rhythm. "Secrets," he murmured. "How quaint." "I'm serious." She leaned forward, ignoring how her body screamed in protest. "I can give you what Max couldn't. I can hand you Alexander Levi on a silver platter." At that, Cormac actually laughed a deep, rich sound that didn’t touch his eyes. "Max was a fool," he said simply. "Impetuous. Emotional. He let a woman and a boy humiliate him into an early grave."
