Where do you want to go? Yes, sir. I am very particular about that. I have a very high-grade lock on it. It is one which I am assured cannot be picked. There are only two keys to that lock. I have always been apprehensive lest some burglar break into the house, steal my revolvers, and use them in a career of crime. These revolvers are therefore kept in a locked wall compartment, concealed behind a sliding panel. When I pulled in, a man in a red-and-white hunting jacket and a Cubs cap stepped out onto the porch. He had a handgun pointed straight at me. The welcoming committee. Lutts tried... a sort of blackmail. He had me where I had to... to do what he said. Yeah, 1964. Wed just made that swing through the South about half a jump ahead of old Shorty Trope and he finally catches up with us in New Orleans and, Jesus, is he mad. Jumping up and down, all four foot eleven of him, half drunk like always, and yelling about how hes gonna clean both our plows good. Murfin gave his head a small, regretful shake. Shortys dead now. You know that? I have it with me, the sheriff said. Lets take a day off, Dino said. So shehad seen it. Which theater was it? Youre lucky. Youll be among the first, I said and turned away. Franks wince told me that Billy shouldnt have used the name Cindy — or Frank,’ for that matter. I had the license number and two names. Unless his two friends decided to crack a few of my ribs, I was satisfied with this trip. The sheriff wrote his name. Cowl isnot doing high-frequency trading from your building. My dad always says hes good under pressure. Mom always disagrees and I think shes right. This guy is kind of pushy. But my dad lost his temper right away. She was watching Churchill bounce elegantly around the yard. It’s probably nice being a dog. I know that sounds stupid but I think about it sometimes.’ At one time we were friends, but then he decided that hed rather be friends with Mix than with me so were not friends anymore..
