never understand how one toy could
make so much mency. Cut it did, and

Their breakup came as a surprise to
Miles, and it hurt.

yelled cut to the kitchen, changing the

Eddie gestered obscenely ia Italian,
laughing loudly. His tatooed anchor
flexed as he flipped over a grilled
cheese.
"Key listen, Braun, 'Gcldngcr starts
at the Palace at midnight, 7haddya say
we catch it for the third time? If we run,
we'll make It," Flip said.
"Deal." Miles appreciated Flip's
efforts, seeing Ms hero ia action might
.help him forget. They grabbed their.,
coats and ran out into the dark. The
sleet still fell, glazing ever the streets.
The marquis at the theater reads,
"GOLD IHGSR," the Palace was known
for its missing letters. Little was said
during the movie. .
"Hey, Miles, yoa gotta a suit like
Bond's." Miles was obssseaed with James
Bond his subtle slyness, danger with
class. Ho dame was gonna upset James
Band, no sir. Flip amused himself
throughout the movie by blowing
squeaking noises through Ids Good-N-Ficaty

The two left the theater and walked
