Mason turned to me, "Did you say something?"

"Yeah," I lied, "I said let's get started."

We sat down at the bar and Mongo got me some coffee and asked Mason what he wanted. A martini, again, so Mongo made it and handed it to him gently.

"Now, Mason, we'll head to Sperry's in a few minutes and I'll get all the info I can and then we'll start tomorrow on the case."

"Do you think this will take long? I've got a date."

Oh, boy. If I can get through this without killing Mason it will be a miracle...
