The Stranger
“Len Gilman asked.
Adam shook his head. The five of them were still standing on the curb. Len Gilman didn’t look like a cop, though he had the gruff part down to an art form. He reminded Adam of one of those aging motorcycle gang members who still wears leather and hangs out in dive bars. Gilman’s graying handlebar mustache had yellow nicotine stains. He favored short-sleeved shirts, even when in uniform, and had enough hair on his arms to be mistaken for a bear.
For a moment, no one mov...ed, just five town dads hanging by the curb on a Thursday night.
This made no sense, Adam thought, and maybe that was a good thing.
If Len Gilman had come here in his capacity as a police officer to deliver the worst kind of news, why would he bring Tripp, Gaston, and Cal with him?
“Maybe we could go inside,” Len said, “and talk.”
