Holmdahl climbed in a cab. Through the rain-smeared windshield of my Chevrolet, I watched him leave.

Across the street sat another blue Chevy. There was an old Mexican in a Stetson behind the wheel. I got this strange feeling ... muttered to myself, "Fucking Fierro." I climbed out and locked my Chevy and trotted through the now-harder rain back to the Aero Squadron. Alicia and Bud met me at the door. My lady squeezed my arm. "That man --- Holmdahl --- he is not to be trusted," Alicia said. "He's truly evil."

"Yeah," I said. "Go to the bar, Alic. We all need to kill a few moments."

Bud's eyes narrowed: "What's up?"

"There's an old Mexican running surveillance from a car out front."

"Fierro, you think," Alicia said.

"Sí. I think. Go get yourself a drink, honey. We'll join you in a moment." I turned to Bud. "You're with me, poet. While I call the cops, you check the yellow pages for a magic supply shop."

"Flash paper?" Bud said.

"Flash paper," I confirmed.

As Fiske thumbed through the Yellow Pages, I called the cops. Breathless and strident, I told them I saw "some old Mexican pervert" sitting in his car, masturbating and trying to entice children into his Chevy. I gave the location and hung up.

We collected Alicia. When the squad car pulled up behind Fierro, the three of us walked to my Chevy and drove away.

Of course I figured that we had other tails.

Maybe frat boys.

Certainly federal agents.

The good, the corrupt ... and Christ only knew what other kinds.
