14. May 3

On the moon there are no cities no destruction by human beings, just miles of flourishing vegetation, black rocks, a swirling black sky. I’m no longer scared to fuck with talk to anyone, whether I want to or not.

Spitz’s father walks into the bar. Alone. Peter Peter must be close behind. I’m standing toward the back of the bar, behind a pillar. I gather my cloak around me.

The old vegetable seems to see nothing. He quickly walks past the bar, seems to murmur something to the bartender. He walks past the bar into a corridor. I wait a second, follow. I look into the dark corridor, ahead of me see a door open and close. No sign of Peter Peter. The bartender’s watching me closely. Just as I dart into the corridor, he yells something behind me. I don’t listen. I see the outline of a door beyond the male and female bathrooms. Footsteps behind me. The bartender. I open the door, rush up narrow steps gray light another door I open it: a room dazzling with thousands of mirrors, beneath my foot ivory-gold carpet.

“Can I help you?”

I swirl around, see a young female at a desk. “Huh? What is this joint?”

“This is an exclusive massage parlor: Monsieur Hawk, Ltd. We don’t usually cater to women, but if you can tell me who recommended our luxurious services to you, I would be glad to be of assistance to you.”

I murmur an apology and rush down the stairs. No need to lose status. Another apology to the bartender; he makes some attempt to detain me. I see Peter Peter, grab his arm, rush out into the dark street.

“Peter Peter it’s a fucking massage parlor: Spitz’s father goes to a massage parlor; big shit, they’re probably rooking him for his money.”

Peter Peter thinks quick. “So Spitz was killed by the massage parlor people ...”

“Monsieur Hawk, Ltd.”

“ . .. for being interested in her father’s nightly escapades? No. More likely the usual nut murdered her.”

“More likely the usual nut murdered her.”
