Bonelip was insistent on more morphine; Rocket only offered a sip of orange juice.

“Awww, man,” Bonelip groaned, his head bandaged like half a mummy’s, “they got some fine colored nurses in here, man. Only thing whut keep me goin’. Sorry I let y’all down, daddy.”

“Ain’t no thing, Sancho Panza. You gonna be all right. Ship you home soon. I’ll come visit you down the Treme. You can make me some gumbo, then you can play that new instrument of yours.”

“Whut dat?”

“The new metal plate in your crown, man!”

“Lawd don’t make me laugh, Rocket, it hurt to laugh. Say, where the dragon at?”

“Can’t say, man. C.I.A. cats came and bailed me and Mae out. They took the locker, holding the dragon. Hauled away all the bodies. Told Leiffer not to mess with me.”

“Hama?”

“I winged that fool, Bonelip. Now they say he did seppuku in the jail’s hospital ward. Yeah, like cops say niggas hang themselves in a cell with their own bedsheet. And this war goes on.” Rocket stood, swiped his coat and cap off the rack in the hospital room. “I gotta hoof it. Reporting to the Goodtime Dickie by fourteen hundred hours. I’ll send you a cable from sea.”

“Aye aye,” Bonelip said, trying to salute with IV tubes tangling his arm. “Mah man.”

Rocket read his own telegram while riding in the cab toward Yokosuka. Stay safe-Will meet again-Better still-Go see that woman whose husband died-Show her you are no fool. Mae.
