Piss Clam knocked once, opened the door to Red’s office and popped his head in. “Doc’s here to see you. Says it’s important.”
“Doc’s here this early in the morning? Must really be important. Show him in.”
Doc was the neighborhood captain, the guy everyone went to when they needed a favor. Doc didn’t differentiate between legitimate folks and gangsters. He helped everyone. Red stood and greeted the old man.
“Doc, what brings you here so early? You’re not in trouble are you?”
Doc laughed. “Me? In trouble? The day I can’t get myself out of trouble is the day I’ll retire. No, I’m in no trouble. In fact it’s just the opposite. I have some good news for you. I came across a bit of business I thought you’d be interested in. Not only is it good for you, it’s an insurance policy for me.”
Red wondered what Doc meant. He’d never seen his usually reserved friend so excited about a business project before. Doc continued his spiel.
“Red. I have a very big, very lucrative and I might add a very legitimate business proposition for you, but I must have your decision before I leave.”
Red’s interest was piqued. He was always looking for new ways of making money. It wasn’t just the money; it was the action, the means of getting the money that interested him. “What’s the rush, Doc?” What sort of business is it and how do I fit in?”
Even though Doc was sitting in Red’s air-conditioned office he took a hanky from his jacket pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He leaned forward, his face lit up in a big shit-eating grin, “I hit the jackpot, Red. The one bit of business I’ve been waiting for all of my life, and it’s finally passed my desk.”
