I handed Pat his pint and sat down, watching as he took a long gulp.

He wiped his lips with his thumb and said, “That’s just what I need after that shift.”

“Yeah,” I said, sipping at my pint.

“So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?”

I looked over my shoulder, making sure nobody was within earshot. Then I told him everything about my dilemma with Harry. He asked a few questions, and by the time I’d finished explaining we were on our third pint.

“Tell him to go to the police, Derek,” he said. “Don’t cover for him.”

“Maybe he didn’t do it. I don’t know for sure.”

“Bollocks. Maybe you don’t know for sure, but you must admit it looks very suspicious.”

“What if he says no?”

“Then tell him you’ll have to go to the police.”

I scratched the corner of a beermat with my fingernail. “I don’t know.”

“If Harry did it, and the police find out, they’ll be wondering why you didn’t tell them.”

“Shit. I know that, Pat.”

He shook his head. “You’re too soft on him.”

“He hasn’t had much of an upbringing,” I said.

“So? That’s not your fault. He treats your house like a hotel. When was the last time you brought a woman home?”

“I don’t know,” I said, now folding the beermat in half. “A few years or so.”

“Exactly,” he said. “Because they take one look at that little bastard and they never come back.”

“Jesus. Don’t make me laugh.”

“Derek. Seriously. Tell him to go to the police,” he said, shrugging his shoulders. “If he’s innocent, then he’s got nothing to worry about.”
