Jack was on the phone with Shiv, back in Chicago.

“Shiv, I think we found them. Two couples, Americans, been in a B&B down on the coast, an hour and a half from here. They go down to this local saloon every day, to watch the sun go down.”

“Cable O’Leary’s, in Ballinskelligs.”

“That’s right! How the hell did you know that?”

“That’s why I called. The kid charged a round of drinks there. Sonny and Ralph was just here and told me about it.”

“Well, they checked into this inn, and they’re at this bar and grill every night, according to the gal at the inn. I asked her not to tell them I called. The boys and me figured that, when they go down to watch the sunset tomorrow, we’d be sitting outside the bar, watching, too. We can take them back to their rooms and sit on them.”

“Great work, Jack. Be careful. I don’t think you’re in any danger, I mean, a bus driver, his old man and a coupla broads? Besides, there’s six of you. But they’re no dummies. You gotta make sure they got no way out, and you gotta make sure the local cops don’t get involved. You guys packin’?”

“Nope. We didn’t check any baggage, and we obviously couldn’t carry them aboard. I’ll find some here.”

“Might not be a bad idea. Check the pawn shops.”

“I’ll take care of it, Shiv. We’ll be there first thing when they open in the morning. I’ll call you tomorrow.”

“Oh, Jack. Wendy called. Said to tell you to bring something home for the kids.”

“Thanks, Shiv.”

“And Jack…”

“I know, Shiv, I’m sorry. I’ll call her tonight and tell her. I think she only calls ‘cause she likes you better’n me.”

“She should.” Shiv hung up, laughing.
