Chapter 58

“All right.” Grant looked at Derek again. “So, did you meet her?”

“That’s a bit off the wall, but yes, unfortunately. I never did see what Walt saw in her.”

“A bitch of the first order.”

Brad shrugged before saying, “Maybe you should go get a beer while Mr. Grant and I discuss business?”

Derek looked as if he wanted to protest, which he didn’t actually, then nodded. “I’ll be out at the bar when you’re finished.”

When Grant had asked where he worked, he said the first thing that popped into his mind. Now he had to back that up in case the murder for hire people decided to check.

His call was answered by the man he wanted to talk to.

“City Diner, Mel speaking.”
