Dawn Patrol

119

Boone pulls into Teddy's driveway and gets out of the car.

The night air is wet, somewhere between mist and gentle rain. The light coming from Teddy's living room window looks soft and warm.

Boone can see them through the window. Teddy's at the bar, fixing a stiff and dirty martini. Tammy paces the room. He tries to give her the drink, but she won't take it, so Teddy sips it himself.

He looks startled when Boone rings the doorbell.

Looks to Tammy, who looks back at him and shrugs.

Boone waits as Teddy opens the door a crack, the chain link left on. Boone shoves the pistol through the crack and says, “Hi. Can I come in?”
