Fancy Dancer
“In a few minutes, he had to go out into the courtroom for the last time. He wondered what he would encounter by way of a farewell in the place where he’d served over forty years, just as his brother, Henry, had served the people of Louisiana. Henry was a mean son of a bitch who went by the book and the letter of the law. Nathan, on the other hand, was a meaner son of a bitch who only went by the book when it served his purposes. No sense not calling a spade a spade when it was called for.
After... court that day, he would attend his retirement party, then head off into the sunset with his wife of fifty-five years. That was what the press release said; a trip around the world that he’d promised his wife on the day they got married and every year since. What he was actually going to do was head to Rhode Island, where his seventy-seven-year-old brother, Franklin, ran an assisted living facility. All the paperwork had been completed months ago. Franklin had assured Nathan that he had the best doctors in the state on call to treat his Alzheimer’s.MoreLess
