The Bayou Trilogy: Under The Bright Lights, Muscle For The Wing, And The Ones You Do - Plot & Excerpts
Up the short driveway from the street was a refurbished house that had once been a duplex of shotgun apartments. Now the place was nicely painted a shiny yellow, and a broad, rounded, black and white awning spread over the two original doors.Shade parked a ways down the block, then walked along the drive to the house. Despite the unanswered phone call he thought Shuggie might be at home. He didn’t see the El Dorado on the street but went on up to the house anyway. On the porch, under the awning, he saw that the inside door was open, so he pulled on the screen, and it was unlatched. He let himself in and found himself to be in a wide parlor that had been made by busting down some walls. All walking in here was done on carpet, and he went quietly into the other rooms.At the kitchen he smelled alcohol and pie. For some reason he wanted his pistol out, and quickly it was. There was a short counter between the kitchen and dining room and he paused at it.That’s when he heard ice cubes clicking and water dripping.
