Though I didn’t know it at the time, Fate walked into the bar on Monday
night in the form of Andy Flannigan.
“Usual?” I called out to the county prosecutor, holding up a cold mug.
He nodded and motioned that he’d be sitting at a table in the corner. That
was odd—he always sat at the bar, unless he was with friends.
I poured Andy his favorite Harp on draft and brought it over to where he
sat.
“It’s been a while,” I said as I did a quick swipe over the table with my
rag, then placed the pint on a coaster I pulled from my pocket. He usually
came in every week, but I hadn’t seen him in more than a month.
“Thanks, Margo,” he said. “When you have a few minutes, I’d like to
talk to you about something.”
“Sounds serious.”
He shrugged, didn’t elaborate.
I was curious. “Give me fifteen? Scotty will be off his break and I can
take a few.” It was a quiet Monday night; I could probably take more than a
few minutes.
“Thanks,” he said.
I went back to the bar, unloaded the dishwasher, checked stock. Andy
was acting more serious than normal. While he was always on the calm,
cool, collected side of the line, he had a great sense of humor. Fun and
friendly. I’d known Andy most of my life. We’d gone to school together,
though he was a couple years older than me and was still friends with my
brother Jack and the group they had hung with in high school. The slight
frown on his face was a bit disconcerting because Andy was definitely the
least serious of the group.
I hoped there was nothing wrong with his parents, who owned the bar,
Flannigan’s, where I had been working since I left the Army last year. They
were in their late fifties, still worked full-time, but didn’t want to work most
nights or weekends anymore. Hence, I had a pretty good gig with flexible
hours. Plus, I liked beer.
By the time Scotty returned from break and I could take my fifteen
minutes, nearly half an hour had passed. “Sorry,” I said when I finally sat
down across from Andy. “So, what’s going on? You seem worried…and you
only drank half your beer.”
“Dad said you finally got your PI license.”
I tilted my head. “Finally?”
He gave me a slight smile. “You were dragging your feet for a while.”
True. I was still dragging my feet because I didn’t know if I really wanted
to be a private investigator.
“I haven’t had much business,” I said. “If you’re concerned I’m going to
leave your folks high and dry, I’m not quitting anytime soon.”
“I want to hire you.”
I leaned back and must have given him an odd look because he said,
“You’re not doing a very good job of acting like you want business.”
“It’s not a priority right now.”
I was in that place in my life that my mom assured me everyone goes
through, though I had my doubts considering none of my siblings had ever
been in limbo. I was twenty-five, had changed career paths, and didn’t
know if I was doing the right thing.
