CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

The Tide Pool bar was less than five miles away. We’d passed it on the way to the motel, and the name had stuck with me.

There was only one customer inside, and the bartender was nowhere to be seen.

The man seated at the bar was about my age. Even though we’d met years ago, I didn’t recognize him. He had short, dark hair and stubble on his unshaven cheeks. He looked a little weary. As if he’d been beaten down by life but wasn’t quite ready to tap out yet. There was still a strength and kindness about him.

I pulled up the stool next to him. He took a long sip of his soda and gave me a smile.

"Thanks for meeting me here,” I said. “I know this isn’t your scene.”

"No problem.”

“I figured you’d know where people—bad people—might hide in your city.”

“I know things, sure. What do you need?”

“El Loro.”

He reached for a napkin and scribbled something on it. He looked around and then pushed it toward me. Taking his lead, I crumpled it into my pocket and winked at him.

“I don’t think I’m thirsty after all,” I said and walked out.
