I continued on dressing for the last time you said that I didn't see you for eight months I said. We have to talk about us. Can it wait till later. Or will you be gone when I get home. It's nothing like that. She said I've noticed how distant you've been and I want to connect with you. Yeah sure. Let me go take care of this thing and either We'll talk when I get back or tomorrow at the latest Okay. She smiled and kissed my cheek tenderly. She had to lean over a bit because I'm two inches shorter than she. I put on the dark yellow suit in a white dress shirt since I was going off for such an important plan I even sensed a burgundy tie around my neck. The man in the mirror looked to me like a bald black headed fat grub that it spent the afternoon drying in the sun. I was short of the most human and if you didn't see me naked you might have thought I was portly. But my size was from bone structure and muscles developed over nearly four decades of working out in Gordo's boxing gym.
Hey dad to a call this I was going out the front door of our 11 for 11 floor pre-war apartment. Yeah son I said on a sign. Marty Bitterman is back in town. Her and her sister Marty was a year older than 12. She and her sister had been molested by their father and I had to intervene when 12 got into his head to murder a man. I thought they hadn't moved to their mother's family in Ireland. Turns out they weren't related said her father but Martie from some pervert her sister too. I don't know the whole story but they had to come home. OK so what do you want from me. I was impatient even with Will. Maybe the fact that his relationship to me was the same as Marty to her father cut me a little. Marty's taking care of her sister and she needs a job she's she's 18 and on her own you know. So you're always saying how you want to reception. I figured this would be a good time for you to have one you know Marty's re-organize like she Teradata said up.
To was a born criminal but he had a good heart. I guess we could try it out I said. Cool. I told her to be at your office in the morning.

Description
Description
Walter Mosley reads from his new installment about private investigator Leonid McGill, Known to Evil.Leonid McGill--the protagonist introduced in The Long Fall--is still fighting to stick to his reformed ways while the world around him pulls him in every other direction. He has split up with his girlfriend, Aura, because his new self won't let him leave his wife--but then Aura's new boyfriend starts angling to get Leonid kicked out of his prime, top-of-the -skyscraper office space. Meanwhile, one of his sons seems to have found true love--but the girl has a shady past that is all of a sudden threatening the whole McGill family--and his other son, the charming rogue Twilliam, is doing nothing but enabling the crisis.Most ominously of all, Alfonse Rinaldo, the mysterious power-behind-the-throne at City Hall, the fixer who seems to control everything that happens in New York City, has a problem that even he can't fix--and he's come to Leonid for help. It seems a young woman has disappeared, leaving murder in her wake, and it means everything to Rinaldo to track her down. But he won't tell McGill his motives, which doesn't quite square with the new company policy--but turning down Rinaldo is almost impossible to contemplate.
