“She didn’t act her age.”
“When did you break it off?”
“I don’t know, a month ago, maybe longer.”
“When's the last time you saw her?”
“Why?”
“Because I asked you.”
“She came around last week.”
“Even though you broke it off a month ago?”
“What can I say? She couldn’t get enough.”
Margot sighed. “Where did you two meet?”
“Why? You looking for a place to meet some men?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“That bar by the harbor. Her mom used to work there.”
“Lefty’s?”
“Yeah, Lefty’s. It’s why I thought she was older.”
“She was drinking there?”
“No, I guess she wasn’t.”
“Because she doesn’t drink?”
“Nah, the girl does like to get her drink on.”
“That didn’t strike you as a clue?”
The bearded kid laughed. Mick didn’t think it was funny. On the screen, he died. He turned to Margot and said, “You got me killed.”
“Good, stay dead awhile. Since she can’t get enough of you, I’m guessing you know her pretty well.”
“You could say that.”
“If she was in trouble, where would she go?”
“Are you saying she’s in trouble?”
“She might be.”
“Is that trouble you?”
“No, I’m a private detective. She’s been gone for over a week and her family hired me to find her.”
“No shit?”
“No shit.”
