Although with the five grenades and the two submachine guns I had enough firepower to start a coup in some small Central American country, I wanted my own guns and some backup, and since I couldn't pick up my mail without getting tagged by the bad guys, some cocaine. Purely for my nerves. All three, for my failing nerve. I went back to the motel to change into something warmer and less gaudy to wear while I broke into my own house, but the telephone was ringing when I went into the room. Old Abner on the job. He said he could see what he thought to be a flashlight moving around inside the Bogardus house. I went to check it out.

I nearly missed them when they came out the back door of the Bogardus house and slipped through the snow-dark shadows of the side yard and out a gap in the hedge. Two guys in jogging suits, their hoods up and snugly tied to hide their faces. I tagged them at a distance as they circled the block once for show, then went into a small frame house east on Gold and across the street, on the same side as Abner's. I started to go up to the front door and try to get them to order a Bible, but even if I hadn't left my red-letter edition in the car, I just didn't have the nerve. Not without some help, whiskey, or cocaine. Just following them had filled me with trembling fear. I knew where they had set up the surveillance and could deal with them later, so I went after some nerve.
