3 a Brewski for the Old Man
“Tully had been out to the Preserves that morning. Maybe the police took license plate numbers. Not a good thing. Maybe Tully even called up Ray John and left a threatening message on his answering service. That was more likely. Or maybe Tully, after a few drinks, had got big-mouthed and told someone he was going to kill Ray John Leenders. Even more likely. Tully did some mighty stupid things when he was drinking. Like the time he rode a horse into the Presbyterian Church on a Sunday morning. I don’t know why, maybe he was still drunk from Saturday night and it seemed like a good idea.
When I was a kid and people heard my last name they’d say, “Was your daddy the guy who rode a horse into Jacaranda Presbyterian?” Tully stories abounded. Unexpected and strange things were done by my father and people were going to be bringing up adventures of my daddy long after Tully was gone.
The cops would have lots of notes on Tully, starting with stealing a car when he was fourteen, so I didn’t lik...e any policeman asking about Tully even if I didn’t think he was involved in Ray John’s death.MoreLess
