The four greyhounds
I finished work and went to wait for Mike outside a building. It was quite a dodgy place with some dodgy looking people there, so I wondered around rather than stand still, and kept my phone in my pocket.
One guy spotted me, who looked like Penguin from the Gotham series, so I’ll call him Oswald. He came up to me and I walked away, but he followed. He kept talking to me so we ended up chatting.
I walked down the road and on the way back he spotted Claire-Marie, my former colleague and someone he used to know too. He said loudly “Do you think she saw me?” and I pointed out she would with him saying that as they passed.
We got back to the building and Mike was there. He was standing at the entrance to the building looking inside, then he spotted me and came over. I went over to meet him and I suddenly had Zeta with me for a brief moment. There was a small group of people from school nearby. One of them, Rachel, said hello and said “If you ever want to show your mom what there is to offer of a night, I’ll happily come round.” But it turned out she meant her dogs. She had four big black greyhounds with really short tails which she said wee quadruplets. I gave them some fuss and then left with Mike.
