The Gentlemen's Hour

15

Boone only knows what happened that night from the newspaper accounts and the usual beach-bongo telegram system of rumors that went around PB.

But here’s how it went.

Kelly Kuhio walked out of The Sundowner a little after midnight, stone-cold sober, on his way to his car in a parking lot on the corner.

He never made it.

Corey Blasingame—drunk, stoned, high on whatever—stepped out of the alley, backed by his crew, walked up to Kelly, and punched him.

Kelly fell backward and hit his head on the curb.

He never regained consciousness.

They unplugged him from life support three days later.
