Ten ki’s of cocaine, snow white. Álvarez the Colombian–last year he was busted for drug trafficking, a case that was built on him for years, and one day when the whole nation crawled out of bed for the morning news, he was off the hook on bad due process. Now Álvarez was dealing again. Álvarez was here in an eleven-by-fourteen sheet photo with bags of coke, here in his hands.
The waitress popped her gum, whispered, “Here, sugar,” and disappeared around the corner. He felt the heat of the mug against his knuckles.
“Run it down,” he breathed. You could hear his mouth open. “Start with ‘how.’”
How she knew about the hand off. Then who else was there. All of it. So many things he needed to know. What he did know: Melody Christensen had never rubbed her gums a day in her life and would surely die for the rush in place of the high. He knew. She licked her lips and her finger tapped against the table, next to the half-dried cola stain. She was watching him. He knew that, too.
“I don’t know, but–I can find out.”
Her words seeped through the cracks of his skull. Castillo’s eyes moved at last, and his stare was heavy, a finality.
No. He’s already said it.
”The law isn’t the only party that wants Alvarez’s head.” Melody let the words rise, hang in the air between them-- heavy, about to burst. There was more to it than what had gotten past the barrier of her lips, revealed itself plain and simple in the contents of the folder.
Pots and pans crashed in the kitchen. Melody’s fingers furled on the table. She felt the half moons of her fingernails incise into her palm, and sat back, slowly, against the red booth. Albeit, she did not sever eye contact with Castillo. This was not the time to lose confidence. This was not the time to shrink back into herself. What she was doing was preparing herself.
Was lying still lying when you didn’t say a thing at all?
She felt her reasons for secrecy were just. They were always just.
“The Valdez family wants him just as badly as we do. Alvarez on the streets is a threat to their empire.” She works to keep her tone steady. No inflections. No modulations from which Castillo might sense hesitancy, uncertainty. Her voice is resolution. 100% pure. Stuff will kill ya.
“Emiliano, the son. He knows Bridgette.” I have an in.

“Forgive me, Larr, I occasionally forget that you’re a walking thesaurus.”
The smile’s still alive. Innocent and effervescent, pure and untouched, like it could have been clipped straight out of an old photo of the Zito-Christensen family scrapbook during the springtime of her life-- before the heavy curtain of reality fell-- and pasted onto her current countenance.
“The power of belief, I mean. Whether you think you can or can’t.” She’s teasing really, for his own sake. Cheer up, Larry, you’re about a millisecond away from a good old fashioned noogie.

His eyes bug in the direction of the steel muzzle; he can feel his feet begin to leaden, absorbing what heat now remained in the January ground – transferring it to his fists and face. “My hands are around the bunnies… Still, if you’re gonna get serious-”
The candy crashes to the street, long lapin ears breaking in twos and threes as their colourful container rebounds a few times before settling, crumpled.
“I paid six BUCKS for those at Macy’s, lady, so you wanna put the squirt toy away now? The people might catch ya’ in an unnatural light.”
Oh, you’ve got to be kidding. She holsters the weapon beneath her duster.
“Isn’t it a little early for Easter?” It isn’t an apology, that’ll come after the irritation subsides.
Melody’s eyes gravitate to the mangled, amputated chocolates which now loosely resemble bunnies, their beady candy-colored eyes bulging up at her in horror. Okay, so maybe she feels a little bad. Poor things didn’t even see it coming. Neither did the man who was in front of the muzzle only moments before, probably. Still, she’ll keep talking tough.
“You want to tell me what it is you’re doing out here, all alone? And don’t tell me your name’s Peter Cottontail.”

“Yeah, buster? I’m going to ask you one last time. Show me your hands, or you’re going to be walking real funny.” She aims the pistol toward the stranger’s kneecaps, you know, for emphasis.

“Uh, you press the on button, like so. Then you wait like twenty minutes for it to boot up. Then uh-” he brought up one of Egon’s databases and typed in a term. “You put something in the search bar, like Vigo the Carpathian and see what comes up. Bad stuff, by the way. Nasty Vlad the Impaler type stuff.”
She squinted. The grotesque output on the screen went all but disregarded because-- “Twenty minutes? You are saying it takes twenty, lousy minutes? Venkman.”

“Hey, Mel.” Palmer nodded to the piece of heating equipment he was working on, his toolbox at his side. He gestured to the open space he’d left at his side, asking Melody to join him. “Want me to show you how to fix this? Might come in useful if you gotta fix one of these things and I ain’t around to help you out. You never know.”
She was fiddling with the knobs on the boombox, AM/FM, watched the needle sail across station numbers: 96, 98, 100-- static, weather, home appliance jingles, and settled on Clapton. Melody adjusted the volume reasonably, folded her arms, and turned in the direction of Palmer’s voice.
“Well, sure." A few paces foward, curious glances, "What's it for?”
