Butch went straight to Ernie’s locker, hoping to catch him before he left and find out what was going on. The man was nowhere in sight. He looked up and down the other aisles. Bill seemed to be gone as well.

“Yeah, Ernie Boudine, you seen him?”

“Who?” Stan asked.

“Ernie, the guy you met the other night when he was here for his first visit.”

“Oh yeah. He was just heading out the door when I came in. Looked like he was in a big hurry. Say, I saw Bill Bixby. Didn’t know he was back in town. Haven’t seen him for a long time. He left just after Bernie did. Seemed like he was in a rush, too.”

Butch frowned.

“Something wrong?”

“I don’t know. Hope not,” Butch responded. “Have a good workout, Stan.”
