Jean excused herself, grinning, “Merle you owe the kid a beer” and I looked around… for Merle. That old drunk had sure rearranged my day, owed me a case if he owed me an ounce and a thanks for covering his butt would’ve been nice. “Which one’s Merle?”, I hoped Buddy would know but for a minute I thought he hadn’t heard me, He didn’t answer, just seemed to be chuckling at something his beer must’ve said… because no one else was around. “Jean had some fun with us tonight Mike. There isn’t any Merle, I did the dishes last night”, he sounded innocent enough but I felt my chain being jerked, even if I didn’t know why. “Jean had some fun huh?”, I smirked, the day now playing back in my head. Buddy had been sitting at the bar in Rita’s Place when I came in and was still there, drinking cup after cup of coffee, when Jean called me back from the door and again…as I was lead into a Georgian version of Hell’s kitchen, I’d noticed him laughing to himself. He was the one had some fun tonight I knew it sure as I knew my name, but for now, I let it go… |
