HOLLOW POINT

28

Recker had just arrived at the favorite meeting spot of his and Vincent’s. Though he was a few minutes early, he looked over at the door and saw the burly man at his usual spot, indicating his host for the meeting was already waiting inside. Recker got out of his car and walked over to the front entrance, opening his coat to remove his gun. The guard put his hand up to stop him.

“Boss says you can keep your guns from now on,” the man said.

“Oh?”

“Guess he figured since you saved his life you get a free pass now.”

“Well I suppose I’m entitled to some benefits from it,” Recker said.

Recker walked through the door and was immediately greeted by Malloy. Though a mutual respect had grown between the two men over the years, they still weren’t on handshake terms upon seeing each other. It was the same as always. They gave each other a slight nod, then moved on to their business. Recker went down to the usual table, sitting across from Vincent, who had just finished his breakfast.

“Mike, how are you?” Vincent asked.

“Fine.”

Vincent pointed to his plate. “Can I offer you something?”

“No, I’m good.”

“Had a feeling you would be. I know you usually don’t join me in these little excursions, so I took the liberty of eating beforehand.”

“My eating habits have changed a little bit lately. Eat more healthy, home cooked stuff.”

“A wise decision on your part,” Vincent said, patting his stomach. “I think I may have put on a few extra pounds from all these outside meals I’ve had.”

The two men shared a laugh at his self-depreciation, though Recker was still in the dark as to what the meeting was about. When Malloy called him to request it, he didn’t give any indications as to the topic they’d be discussing. And Recker couldn’t figure out on his own what Vincent may have wanted. It’d been three months since Recker and Haley took out the assassin who was gunning for the crime boss. Since that violent day, they’d kept their distance from each other, though not necessarily on purpose. They just had no other business that required their cooperation in that time.

As far as Recker knew, nothing major had happened recently that would cause either of them to need assistance on anything, so he was at a loss as to what he was really doing there. And Vincent wasn’t one to always get straight to the point. Sometimes he liked to run in circles for a little while until he reached his destination. Something Recker would just as soon avoid.

“So what’s this about?” Recker said, hoping to speed things up a bit.

Vincent smiled, always appreciating how his guest liked to skip the formalities and get down to business. “Always the straight shooter.”

Recker shrugged. “I dunno, I just figure we’re both busy people, have a lot on our plate, why prolong things? Plus, we’re on good terms, no need to beat around the bush, right?”

“Indeed,” Vincent said, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
