短篇小说《二十年后》开始于纽约一个寒冷而又黑暗的夜晚。大部分人已经下班回家,城市的这个角落静悄悄的。一名正在该地区巡逻的警察看到一个男人站在商店外面。他走近男人,发现他的脸上有道伤疤。他们开始聊天,男人开始讲述自己的故事。
1.“二十年前的今晚,”男人说,“我和吉米.韦尔斯—我最好的朋友,也是这世上最好的小伙子—在这儿的“乔老大”布雷迪餐厅吃饭。我们俩在纽约一起长大,就像亲兄弟一样。那时我十八岁,吉米二十岁。第二天一早,我就要去西部赚大钱了。可你没法把吉米拖出纽约,他觉得地球上只有(纽约)这么一个地方。反正。那天晚上我们约定,不管日后各自情况如何,不管距离多远,都要在二十年后的同一天、同一时间在这儿再聚。我们当时觉得,不管要做什么,二十年的时间足够自己找到出路、挣到钱。”

2.“听起来挺有意思”,警察说。“不过,对我来说这俩次见面似乎间隔太久了。离开后,没有你朋友的消息吗?”
3.“嗯,不是的。我们联系过一段时间,”男人说。“但是一两年后我们失去了彼此的联系。你知道,西部很大,我不停地四处奔波、忙东忙西。但是我知道,只要吉米活着,他就会来这儿和我见面,因为他一直是这世界上最真诚最可靠的伙计。他绝对不会忘记我们的约定。今晚,我从千里之外赶来站在这扇门前,只要我的朋友出现,这一切都是值得的。”
