RKS Literature: Two Men in a Titty Bar: “Girl Last Seen” (Nina Laurin)

“The two of them seem to be together, except that he’s dressed a lot nicer than his buddy, who’s in a weathered hockey jersey that hangs off his skinny shoulders like a rag. No, this one has a jacket. A nice jacket. Where would I know someone who has a jacket this nice? Must be wool or something, so black that it seems to draw the light in. And his scarf is embarrassingly fashionable. Either he has a wife who picks these things out for him or he swings the other way, Which, since he’s sitting in a titty bar, is unlikely, but you never know.”
