Extra Life (2015)
“OUTSIDE THE Silver Bullet, Bobby Keene-Parker’s Rapide zoomed up curbside. He stood from his car and posed with one elbow on the roof, as if expecting a team of paparazzi to memorialize the occasion. Too bad for Bobby, he was alone.
Except for me. I was already inside the diner and ahead of schedule, courtesy of Azalea Taxi and a chunk of the twenty bucks on loan from Connie’s R2-D2 bank. I was in the middle of rewarding myself with a double-decker cheeseburger and a milkshake. I sat in the sam...e booth where I found Savannah and Bobby last time.
Fifteen minutes till Savannah dropped in. Maybe less, if she showed early.
Everything according to The Plan.
Now, if I was Savannah, this was the part where Bobby would scope me out, saddle up beside me and unfurl a killer pick-up line. But I was just a dude in clown jeans and a sweaty nerd shirt. So he sat as far from me as he could, just inside the door, at the lunch counter.
No time now to psyche myself up. I napkined the ketchup off my mouth and moseyed over to him like some big-time talent agent.MoreLess
