“I DIDN’T KNOW YOU WAS related to Harry Houdini,” Winky snarled as I hobbled back through my front door. He set an empty beer bottle on the counter. “I’m supposed to be keepin’ an eye on you, you know.”

“I know.”

“So, where’s lunch?”

“I forgot I didn’t have any money.”

“Uh huh. Somethin’ fishy’s goin’ on around here. And I got the evidence.”

“What was this doing on your couch?” He held up a round, opaque disk the size of a jar lid.

“How should I know? I don’t even know what a tarpon is.”

“It’s a fish, you lunker.”

“Don’t be a soiled brat, Val.”

“Spoiled.”

“What’s spoiled?” he asked, and sat on the coffee table beside me. “Don’t you trust me?”

“It’s not that, Winky,” I confessed. “It’s just...I don’t know what to say. I don’t know where to begin.”

Winky patted me on the hand. “Well, like ol’ Laverne always says, begin at the beginin’.”
