Baka kissed his teeth. He lit a cigarette inside and smoked it out the window blocking Dave's view.
Dave didn't make a fuss at all just moved a little back. He couldn't leave the phone un-attended.
Keith took the back staircase, liked the quiet. He'd found it a few days ago, and now used it for every up and down.
From the hotel he crossed a blacktop parking lot, already hot under his feet. Then some concrete break walls, then finally a beach.
Although, no one was swimming here, just down near the pier. Which he thought was weird, it was much nicer here.
The water always calmed him, thats why he moved there after
Spacecity
. It reminded him of up there. The feeling of being so small. Everything out of your control.
When Keith thought about himself back then, it was someone else. He wouldn't have done it again. Wished he just went straight to science, straight to the beach.
After this job he didn't know what he'd do. A criminal wasn't never something he'd thought he'd be.
He didn't know if it was old Keith or himself now, but he wanted to take his shoes off and walk in the waves. But instead he just watched the water crashing and falling.
