Merrick the Art Thief

Merrick repeated the address to Wyatt, putting his beer on the car’s fender.


“Yeah.” He met Vic’s gaze. “I’m with Vic.”


“Oh.” Wyatt sighed. “I’ll be there.” The call ended.


“It’ll be good to see him.” Vic smiled, leaned against the car.


“Oh, you know, a bit of this, bit of that.” Vic rubbed the bridge of his nose that had been broken one too many times. “You?”


“I miss the old days, kid. We sure had some wild times.”


“We did.” Merrick smiled. “It’s hard to believe it really happened, sometimes.”


“Not sure.” Merrick bit his bottom lip as he went to Grant. Words weren’t going to ease the anxiety Grant had, but hopefully he hadn’t lost his chance with Grant. He leaned against the wall, then stole a glance at the skyline of the city.
