“That’s okay with me,” said Con, reaching for his money clip. “How much is it?”

The guard smiled politely. “The cashier goes off at four, I’m sorry, because to charge for less than an hour wouldn’t be fair.” The guard saw Con’s face go from young to sad and was touched by the sadness. “We’ll be open tomorrow, though. You could stay all day.”

“I won’t be here tomorrow.” Con sighed, and his mind went back to the fight. “Oh, well, I did my best.”

“Wait,” said the guard. Like the others, he wore a navy blazer and gray pants. He stood six feet six inches and weighed close to 320 pounds. He had a shaved head and the face of a kindly genie. He had a gold eyetooth, but he spoke with no trace of a black accent. “Come with me.” He led Con a third of the way down the hall. “See the lady guard down at the end? Tell her the lieutenant said it’s okay to let you in.”
