“Yah, gimme a pint.”

Tommy Hill pulled the picture out of his wallet and flashed it at the bartender here at O’Leary’s on 23rd Street.

“You seen this girl? She’s my sister. My ma’s losin’ her nut, said I’d come to New York and find her… She got left at the altar by some kid named Colin. Took off for New York. Whole neighborhood’s worried about her…”

The bartender looked at the picture.

“Nah. Not in here…”

“Thanks, pal.”

He slid the Guinness across the bar.

“I seen her down at Clancy’s on 14th Street. Comes in and reads the Irish papers. Your sister’s a cracker, fella. Gorgeous. Don’t think that bartender noticed she doesn’t ever order a drink.”

“Yah? You seen her there? That’s grand. Thanks.”

Tommy slid a five-dollar bill across the bar and pulled the pint of Guinness to his lips. Fuckin’ cold Guinness. Jaysis…Feckin’ New Yorkers - fuckin’ cold Guinness.

He slowly chugged the whole thing down. Then exhaled loudly and wiped his mouth.

“Bridget O’Shaughnessy…” he thought, “Your days are fuckin’ numbered.”
