I parked on the shoulder of the road. I could get used to it up here. Nice and quiet, probably great views of the ocean. I figured their house was probably worth a few million. Maybe more. Hard to say for someone like me. Still, looked like too much house for three people. Maybe four if pops was still around. I lit my cigarette. The first puff bit my throat. I swallowed down a cough and pulled out my cell again. Signal was good, so I figured I’d call someone who might want to reminisce with me.

“Hello,” it was a girl’s voice. A little squeaky. Maybe like a mouse if they could talk.

“Melodie Rimes?” It was half a question.

“Yes.”

“Melodie, this is Anthony Carrick. I’d like to talk to you about William.”

“Who?” she was cute. But I gave her a chance.

“Pretty nice house they’ve got here. When can we meet?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about Mr.?” She bit the bait. Her voice cracked a little like a porcelain doll. And it wasn’t the line.

“Carrick honey, and I’ve been around these mean Mulholland streets to know a liar when I hear one. I’m easier to talk to than the cops. You might want to give me a try. Bring a tough guy with you if you’d like.”

She didn’t say much for a while so I blew smoke in her ear see if she’d like that.

“Okay Mr. Carrick.”

“How about I come and see you?’

“Okay.”

“Good then, where are you?”

“112 Culver City Terrace, just off of Playa Street. I’m not in trouble am I Mr. Carrick?”

Didn’t sound like a question to me. So I lobbed it back at her.

“Should you be?” She didn’t say anything to that. “I’ll see you in about half an hour.”
