Ecstasy Lake (2016)
“It was a Mexican chain restaurant on the south side of the city. One of its gimmicks was that you had to raise a little flag on your table if you wanted the attention of the waiters. Melody was already there when I arrived and was halfway through a frozen margarita. She was wearing a short-sleeved, V-neck cotton shirt and very little makeup. As soon as she saw me, she raised her Mexican flag. A waitress was there in a jiffy.
‘Two more,’ said Melody. She looked at me as I took my seat. ‘You’...ll have a margarita, won’t you?’ ‘Sure. I’d better have something to eat, too.’ The waitress went away and Melody and I inspected the menu. There was a box of pencils on the table and I used one to fill out an order form, which was another of the gimmicks. The waitress brought the drinks and took away the form. Melody had finished her drink and held the next one up to me.
‘Here’s to risky meetings,’ she said. We clinked.
‘Exactly how risky is this one?’ ‘Very, if Harlin finds out.’ ‘He doesn’t own the copyright.’ ‘He thinks he does.’ She took a hefty sip of her drink, which was not easy to do because it was frozen.MoreLess
