"Thanks." Chief Davis took a short sip from the full glass, then placed it on the table. "But I can't finish it, I'm afraid I've still got some work to do tonight. It was nice to meet you Moseley, and if you get a chance, drop by and see me Monday morning."

"All right. But I can't promise you anything."

"I don't want you to. As the fellow said, I want you to sleep on it."

The chief shook hands with Hoke and Frank took him back through the house to the front door. Hoke waited for his father to come back, but he didn't. Hoke picked up the glass of whiskey and took it with him down to the pier. He looked for the manatee, but it wasn't there. A speed boat, ignoring the NO WAKE sign, ploughed down the middle of the waterway at thirty-five knots an hour. A teenaged boy had his trunks pushed down to his knees and was pissing over the side. As the boat passed Hoke, the boy gave Hoke the finger with his free hand. Hoke drank the whiskey and sat under the umbrella until Maria called for him to come in to dinner.
