White hair Come on, hop in the van, I'll run you over there to him. Because I don't know why he'd go to a place where they -- " Sheridan shrugged. You might even find him. The kid wasn't biting. He thought about going back, trying again, but it had already gone on too long -- you either kept observable contact to a minimum or you were asking for twenty years in Hammerton Bay.

He'd better go on to another mall. Scoterville, maybe. Or -"Wait, mister! There was the light thud of running sneakers. I told him I was thirsty, he must have thought he had to go way over there to get me a drink. He opened the door and smiled at the kid, who looked up at him doubtfully, his green eyes swimming in that pallid little face, as huge as the eyes of a waif in a velvet painting, the kind they advertised in the cheap weekly tabloids like The National Enquirer and Inside View.

It was really sort of creepy, how good he'd gotten at this. The kid did, and although he didn't know it, his ass belonged to Briggs Sheridan the minute the passenger door swung shut. There was only one problem in his life. It wasn't broads, although he liked to hear the swish of a skirt or feel the smooth smoke of silken hose as well as any man, and it wasn't booze, although he had been known to take a drink or three of an evening.

Sheridan's problem -- his fatal flaw, you might even say -- was cards. Any kind of cards, as long as it was the kind of game where wagers were allowed. He had lost jobs, credit cards, the home his mother had left him. He had never, at least so far, been in jail, but the first time he got in trouble with Mr.

Reggie, he'd thought jail would be a rest-cure by comparison. He had gone a little crazy that night. It was better, he had found, when you lost right away. When you lost right away you got discouraged, went home, watched Letterman on the tube, and then went to sleep.

When you won a little bit at first, you chased. Sheridan had chased that night and had ended up owing seventeen thousand dollars. He could hardly believe it; he went home dazed, almost elated, by the enormity of it. He kept telling himself in the car on the way home that he owed Mr.

Reggie not seven hundred, not seven thousand, but seventeen thousand iron men. Every time he tried to think about it he giggled and turned up the volume on the radio. But he wasn't giggling the next night when the two gorillas -- the ones who would make sure his arms bent in all sorts of new and interesting ways if he didn't pay up -- brought him into Mr.

Reggie's office. Reggie said. If I give you a week, don't you think I know what you'll do? You'll tap a friend for a couple of hundred if you've got a friend left to tap. If you can't find a friend, you'll hit a liquor store I doubt if you do, but anything is possible. Reggie leaned forward, propped his chin on his hands, and smiled. He smelled of Ted Lapidus cologne.

By then he was very close to tears. What you'll give me is a bunch of shitty excuses. You're in over your head this time, my friend. Way over your head.

Reggie said reflectively. Reggie said, and pushed a folded sheet of paper across his desk to Sheridan. He calls himself Mr. Wizard, but he's a shitbag just like you. Now get out of here. I'm gonna have you back in here in a week, though, and I'll have your markers on this desk. You either buy them back or Pm going to have my friends tool up on you. And like Booker T. Sheridan went to see him, and heard about the kids and the botrahds. Wizard also named a figure, which was a fairish bit larger than the markers Mr.

Reggie was holding. That was when Sheridan started cruising the malls. He pulled out of the Cousintown Mall's main parking lot, looked for traffic, then drove across the access road and into the McDonald's in-lane. The kid was sitting all the way forward on the passenger seat, hands on the knees of his Tuffskins, eyes agonizingly alert. Sheridan drove toward the building, swung wide to avoid the drive-thru lane, and kept on going. I think I saw him in there. You really did?

But his markers had gotten a little deeper each time, and that bastard Mr. Reggie had no compunctions at all about letting him hang himself. It wasn't seventeen thousand this time, or twenty thousand, or even twenty-five thousand. This time it was thirty-five grand, a whole damn marching battalion of iron men, if he didn't want a few new sets of elbows by next Saturday.

He stopped in the back by the trash-compactor. Nobody was parked back here. There was an elasticized pouch on the side of the door for maps and things.

Sheridan reached into it with his left hand and brought out a pair of blued-steel Kreig handcuffs. The loop-jaws were open. A manufacturer might use less durable materials at the outset or simply refuse to offer replacement parts.

Inevitably, the list of irretrievable goods grew and soon came to include the shoes we wear. With four kids who walked to school and a job as a visiting nurse, my Mom often made trips to our neighborhood shoe repair shop. I just loved going there with her.
