Devil Red
“I rolled out of bed and pulled it out of my coat pocket and flipped it open.It was Cason.“You and Leonard ought to get together with me and Mercury,” he said.“Got somethin’?”“Yeah. Leonard with you?”“No. But I can hustle him up.”“When can we get together?” Cason said.“I don’t know. I’ll call him, we’ll call you, and we’ll get together.”“Tell Leonard not to wear the hat.”We showed up at Cason’s apartment, way he said. Mercury was there with him. Leonard didn’t wear the hat.As we went inside I gave the place a once-over. It was sort of thrown together with home-made bookshelves and an old couch and a coffee table that looked as if it had been salvaged from the dump. It had so many glass and cup stains on it, it almost looked designed.I could see the kitchen from the middle of the room, and the sink was full of dishes. Through an open doorway I could see an unmade bed and clothes on the floor. It reminded me of every place either I or Leonard had lived until Brett and I got the house.
