So you see anytin’?” Haruo asked when they got back into the Honda.

Mas remained quiet. His mind whirled. “What did Haneda want with you? The truth,” he said straight out.

Haruo slumped in the driver’s seat. “He said we were gonna make some money at the poker game. That he had set sumptin’ up.”

Fixing a game among friends was unforgivable. Even Riki wouldn’t stoop that low unless things hit rock bottom.

“I tole him that I would have nutin’ to do with it.”

“Whyzu then—” How come Haruo ended up at the card game?

“I just went to play, fair and square.”

“Then why you here when my truck getsu stolen?”

“No, no. I come nowhere near dis place,” Haruo maintained.

Mas ignored this. “How come he needsu money? Heezu doin’ good with the nursery, huh?”

“I dunno. I guess times are tougher. All those big chain hardware stores selling plants. Hard to compete, I guess.”

Mas sucked in his loose cheeks.

“What, you think sumbody beat up Junko for money?”

She had said Riki had owed her money, big money. Mas wasn’t sure, but he knew that someone close by would have some more information.
