“Just fine.Mr.Solan always kept the service up on it, and I doubt he drove it more than once a week.”Salzy picked up all the plates from the table.It’s a bit of a gas hog, but that’s the way they made them back then.”
“So, it should be okay making the trip and back from Atlanta?”
“Yeah, I’d say so.”Salzy rinsed the plates.“You thinking of heading on up there?”
Jamie started cleaning the flattop.“There isn’t anything else for us to do here in Columbus.”
“Sure.Works for me.”
“There’s a big box store not too far out of the way from my apartment.We can pick up some boxes there.”
“We going to spend the night?”
“Oh.”Jamie thought for a moment.“Yeah, I think so.It’s already past nine here.It’s two hours there and then two hours back.”
“Sleep at your place then?”
Jamie pondered the question.“Why don’t I splurge and get us a hotel room for the night?”
Salzy narrowed his eyes at Jamie.“You’re not planning on trying to get me into bed, are you?”
Jamie handed him the sheet pan that the bacon had been on.“Oh hell, haven’t we moved past that already?”
Salzy flashed him a bright smile.“I know I’m irresistible, and you did kiss me already.”
“Oh, brother.”

“Right here, Jenkins,” Mike answered as he walked in from the dining room.“Thanks for coming.”
“No problem, Sarg.”The other man, who was so Black he looked like he could have been carved from black shiny marble.“The other two are backing the truck in.”
“Good deal.”He motioned to all the kitchen equipment.“All this needs to go on the truck.”
