I'm editing it now. You and the others will get it before the end of the month with the added Finch Christmas story. I'm working as fast as I can, and being as Noir as I can help
Here's a snippeto
Quote:
“Beautiful,” I said.
Grey laughed. It took all of thirty seconds for his body to come to a stop.
“The waitress or Chicago? If you answer the latter I may fire you before you’re even hired. Nobody likes Chicago in the winter, not even the most fanatical Bears fan. It’s the wind you see, it gets into your very bones.”
I was going to say something cute about how it would take about a week to get to Grey’s bones through all that flesh, but I decided I liked being paid more.
“I'll take what's behind door number three, Mr.Grey.”
Grey placed his platter on the table. He started the gargantuan effort that it was for a man of his size to get comfortable on a stool that was already out of sight before he’d put his weight upon it.
“Door number three?” He said, more interested with his sitting competition.
“The beer, Mr. Grey, I was referring to the beer as being beautiful.”
“Yes, yes, the beer,” he said, finally finding his seat.
I wanted to congratulate him on his feat and maybe suggest he take up a secondary career on the high wire with such balance, but I had other things on my mind.
“The job, Mr. Grey? I don’t know enough to give you a quote, or if I’m even interested yet. But I’d like to start talking about something other than beer if it’s okay with you.”
“And yet you came all the way to Chicago from San Francisco to hear me out? That seems like an awful long way to come for curiosities sake.”
“I came for Mandy’s sake.”
“Excuse me?”
