The Philadelphia Quarry (2013)
“Sarah looks up when I walk by.
“Some story, huh?” she says.
“Yeah. Where’s Baer?”
She motions toward Wheelie’s office. I see the back of Baer’s head, nodding up and down like a Bobblehead doll. Whatever Wheelie’s telling him, he seems to be in complete agreement.
Then I notice another head, to the left of Baer’s and much less animated. I take a few steps over and see that our publisher has graced us with his ghostly presence.
Wheelie and Grubby. Grubby doesn’t descend into the newsroom except o...n rare occasions. I’m guessing that the latest bombshell in the Alicia Simpson story has led to some cages being rattled. Maybe even Grubby’s cage.
I slip away to get a cup of coffee before anyone sees me, in case they want to invite me to the party. Wheelie’s office gets awfully small when there are more than two people in there, especially if one of them is the publisher.
When I come back, Grubby’s gone back upstairs and Baer’s been freed.
I’m checking with the cops to see what mayhem has occurred during the past fourteen hours when I feel Baer’s presence.MoreLess
