Harbor
Another night, another bar fight.
Blood and grime-tinged water ran in little eddies and whorls down the
chipped bathroom sink in my apartment, adrenaline leaking down the drain
with it. I squirted more soap onto my dark brown hands, not even grimacing
at the sting of fresh wounds. I was used to it.
I never wanted to be. When I left the Army, I had plans. But with my
private investigation business dead on arrival and the US Marshal Service
apparently losing my application, this was all I had.
Breaking up bar fights was what an enforcer like me was for. I shouldn’t
have expected more.
I finished cleaning and dressing my hands and made my way to the
living room. Nights like this, when the white frat boys from the Philly
colleges all gathered in one toxic testosterone storm, left me with only
enough energy to have half a beer and fall into bed. Tonight I couldn’t even
muster the beer.
Passing through my spare studio apartment, I headed straight for my
bed and collapsed face first. It wasn’t difficult to find, as it was one of only
two pieces of furniture in my apartment. No tchotchkes or window
coverings. This wasn’t a fucking Restoration Hardware, after all.
My phone buzzed in the pocket of the loose black track pants I wore to
work. I wasn’t going to answer it. I was too exhausted and over it. No
wonder the Marshal Service hadn’t responded. There was nothing clean cut
or decent about me.
Honesty, I only took my phone out to charge it. It was an older model,
and took ages to get a full charge, and I couldn’t go all of tomorrow without
it.
Then I saw the name on my caller ID. My cousin out in Lewis, John
Flaherty. While I could ignore almost everyone else, I couldn’t let John go
to voicemail. Family mattered.
“Hello?” I grumbled.
“Hey, cuz,” John said. He was a Navy man, like his entire side of the
family, but I didn’t hold it against them. “Sorry for the late call. I figured
you’d be up.”
I rolled over to hear him better. “I am.”
“How’s bouncing?”
“Making me grateful I never went to college,” I replied.
John chuckled, his voice deep. “I have a job for you.”
I didn’t get my hopes up. While John was a small town deputy, he also
worked every so often with the Hunter’s Guild, tracking people down for
money. On his own time, of course, because that was the guy he was.
“I don’t feel like spending all my cash tracking down some asshole bail
jumper in a seedy motel,” I said.
