Off the Jazz
"What
the heck do you mean you don't like Jazz?" Face said as he and
BA stared at Hannibal in disbelief.
"I mean I don't like
Jazz." Hannibal frowned back at them.
"Do you know
what I went through to get the tickets for this gig?" Face
asked. "I mean, Miles Davis... what? What was that look? You're
saying you don't like Miles Davis?"
Hannibal shrugged.
"Sorry, Face. I'm sure you meant well and everything, but well,
it's not my scene."
"Not your scene?" Face
sighed. This was supposed to be Hannibal's big birthday treat. Too
many birthdays spent dodging gunfire. Even if they were now dodging
MPs Face had been determined to make this a special birthday, the
first one back home.
"Hannibal you've been "on the
Jazz" since I first met you, you're famous for it."
Hannibal
shrugged again. "Just an expression."
Face looked at
the tickets he'd gone to so much trouble to make. Shame to waste such
beautiful forgeries.
"Okay, give me ten minutes to scalp
these then we'll go somewhere you'd prefer."
"There's
a nice Country and Western place just a couple of blocks away."
A
Country and Western bar and BA. Yeah, Face thought, that was going to
be one hell of a way to round off the evening.
