I'd been at his office far too many times, had seen the bottles of pills that he kept in his desk, watched his secretary bring him a glass of milk at precisely 10.30 a.m.
and exactly 3.15 p.m., had listened to the dull details of his ulcer-free diet more times than I can remember.
So when Ray said cocktails, ah, come on now, Dollar, stop trying to build up a case out of nothing.
And yet...
for reasons that will be made clear later in this report.
Everything goes on expense account.
Item one, $1.40 for a cab to Ray's apartment.
It was 6.30 on the nose when I pushed the doorbell.
Oh, and I decided that if he did have something bothering him, I'd let him get around to it in his own sweet time.
I wished later that I hadn't.
Johnny.
Yeah, how are you, Ray?
Well, you know how it is.
Those ulcers been kicking up on you again?
Yeah, a little.
Sit down, Johnny, sit down.
Sure, thanks.
Now, what would you like?
Martini, Manhattan?
Got a plain old scotch and soda lying around?
