The Blue Knight
“I was kind of disappointed when Lieutenant Hilliard didn’t have an inspection, I was looking so good. Cruz looked awful. He sat at the front table with Lieutenant Hilliard and did a bad job of reading off the crimes. Once or twice he looked at me and rolled his eyes which were really sad this morning because he was so hung over. After rollcall I got a chance to talk to him for a minute.
“You look a little crudo,” I said, trying not to smile.
“What a bastard you are,” he moaned.
“It ...wasn’t the mescal. I think you swallowed the worm.”
“A complete bastard.”
“Can you meet me at noon? I wanna buy you lunch.”
“Don’t even talk about it,” he groaned, and I had to laugh.
“Okay, but save me your lunch hour tomorrow. And pick out the best, most expensive place in town. Someplace that doesn’t bounce for bluecoats.MoreLess
