Michael Lister - Soldier 03 - The Big Hello - Plot & Excerpts
When the joint was filled with BYTs and hep cats and kittens all dolled up and togged out dragging their hoofs, it seemed like a decent enough place, but when it was empty you could see just what a dive it really was. By the time we arrived, the parking lot beneath the big red-and-orange neon sign that read The Panther Room, the letters stacked atop one another, was filled with patrol cars and a paddy wagon. I had taken the time to go with Lee up to his sister’s room to verify she was really there––of her own free will––and so had not gotten here quite as quickly as I might have. We parked across the street and walked over. The lot had been cordoned off, patrolmen posted in intervals of about twenty feet. “What’s going on?” I asked the first one we came to. “Police stuff, or ain’t it obvious?” He was a pale, blond, big-headed kid with a big round belly, his hand on his baton.
