Is there really a guy named Father Leahy?
I suppose you'll have to take a chance on that.
Yeah, well, it's a big chance.
You come in here with a story anybody can see through like a screen door, and I'm supposed to buy it.
You could dig up a collar.
What happens if you're a fake?
Suppose I don't.
Well, whoever Joe Feldman was, he had a good friend.
Because when Father Leahy walked out of there, I knew he was all right.
You could tell without even testing him.
The way when you pick up a pool cue, you know right away whether it's any good or not.
He stood at the door for a minute, and then he walked out.
And you got a funny feeling that he didn't walk into the night that he was big enough to wrap it around his shoulders and take it with him.
I got a last look at him as he turned the corner under a street lamp.
He looked even taller now, and you knew if somebody stood him in an oil field, you couldn't tell him from the rest of the derricks.
Well, I made a couple of phone calls, and then I closed shop and went down to the end of Pier 19 to wait.
The bay looked as dark as a bruised crow.
The fog was beginning to drift in over near the piers.
By 9 o'clock, you couldn't see a thing.
You felt like a guy trying to shave in a bathroom full of steam.
