The Gentlemen's Hour

141

On the way to Boone’s place, Johnny hits him on the cell a few times, but the asshole doesn’t answer.

Classic Boone anyway—he goes into his crib-slash-cave and forgets the rest of the world exists, doesn’t answer his phone. Johnny just drives over to Crystal Pier. The Deuce is there, so Johnny goes to the door and knocks. Boone doesn’t answer. Johnny walks around and bangs on the windows.

No Boone.

Johnny calls Dave.

“You seen Boone around?”

“Man, I haven’t seen Boone in a long time.”

“I hear that,” Johnny says. “But do you know where he might be?”

“Try the Brit’s place.”

Johnny heads over to Petra’s.
