Murder Takes a Break
“"What did they give you?" I asked.
"Some kind of hypo. I don't like needles, but whatever was in the one they just stuck me with is OK by me. They took ten stitches, and I didn't feel one of them." "Good. Are you ready to get out of here?" "Hell, yes. I'm the one who wanted to go before the cops came, remember?" "Was that you? I thought it was me." "Don't kid around. I'm leaving right now." It sounded like a good idea to me, so we jumped into the S-10 and took off. Well, jumped isn't an exact description of what we did, but we got in without falling down and humiliating ourselves.
We drove back toward Galveston, coming in behind the seawall on Stewart Road because it was quicker to get to Dino's house that way. I had the radio tuned to the oldies station, and we were listening to "Take a Chance on Me" by ABBA, the only group from the disco era that I thought was worth hearing. Well, not counting the Village People.
