Still in his shirtsleeves, he leaned against the gate and looked down the block, listening to the couple’s voices fade into the background. He flexed his back and flinched a little, but he felt good despite himself. The day was surprisingly cool. Maybe he’d head home and take a nap with the window open, maybe see what was on the radio.

He looked up at the El tracks and his eyes followed them down across the street. Wheezy Waldheim was sitting on the ground, leaning against the fence, staring at his knees.

Mac felt around in his pockets, looking for something he’d almost forgotten about. The doctor’s card Coco’s manager had given him. The De Soto was parked about ten feet away, and he knew where Crank kept the keys. He still had about half a violin case full of money, not to mention a little left over from cracking the mob’s safe. He walked across the street and stood in the shadows of the El with his hands still in his pockets. Waldheim didn’t seem to notice him, until Mac tapped one of the derelict’s shoes with the toe of his own.
