Just why I should want to rock the confidence of a Philadelphia lawyer, I don't know.
Maybe it was because Martin Allman, for all his conservative Brooks Brothers attire, looked too much or not enough like what he was supposed to be.
Maybe it was because the East Los Angeles address he'd handed me for Buff Ryan was a cinch to be 30 degrees hotter.
It was, too.
Waring Street was lined with gray little houses surrounded by small gray lawns dotted with straggling gray trees.
The color scheme was the direct result of long years of constant neglect.
I knocked a long time on the door of the C.A.
Douglas residence.
The porch was littered with old papers, an assortment of throwaways and leaves.
The only response I got was from a scrawny cat, also gray, who leaped up on the porch rail to spit and yowl at me.
I yowled back and walked off the porch in the general direction of my car.
That's when I noticed a smaller, grayer house behind this one, on the same lot.
And I thought I saw a curtain at the front window move slightly.
The cat dogged my steps back to see.
Oh, pardon me, but I'm trying to locate C.A.
Douglas.
Does he still live in the house in front of you?
Oh.
You, uh, you think he moved away?
I don't know.
