Now it was time to go see about the bottle. Kelly Grinne was an old friend, if you used the term loosely. She ran a little hole in the wall bar on one of the less respectable side streets. She’d hated the Cat Jugglers and done what she could to help. She was probably up for retirement, too, or at least on Flipper’s list of things to do. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t her real name, but you didn’t ask questions in a place like hers. She wasn’t running girls or guns or drugs, but her place was neutral ground, sacred ground really, for all sorts. Business was good. The Cat Jugglers were leaning on her real hard before we started the hazmat protocols, and she’d seen plenty of their victims come and go, mostly go. She didn’t have a memorial wall for them, but I’m betting she had an image of every one of them burned in memory.
