WHEN HE WAS MIDWAY OF A BLOCK HE SAW A MAN LENT ON A WALL WITH AN UNLIGHTED CIGAR. HE HAD A BEARD WITH A WHITE SCAR ACROSS HIS EYE . HE APPROACHED THE MAN , THE MAN SPOKE QUICKLY
- IT IS OKAY OFFICER I AM JUST WAITING FOR A FRIEND AN APPOINMENT MADE 20 YEARS AGO. I"LL GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT

- TWENTY YEARS AGO TONIGHT I HAD DINED HERE WITH MY BEST CHUM AND THE FINEST CHAP IN THE WORLD JIMMY WELLS. HE AND I WERE RAISED IN NEWYORK LIKE BROTHERS. IWAS 18 AND JIMMYY WAS 20.
