The Set Up

           This week, we return to my serial novel, The Presidents Club.  We join a scene from Chapter 18 back in the Louisville Tavern. The guys are discussing an absent member while Louie the bartender has just finished serving a new custome -- a stranger.

The Snippet

Tommy Pritchett was proud of his friend, Abe, “Where is he?”

Louie answered, “He called a couple of hours ago. He was going to stop by and pick up Ron after he got off work at the Holiday Inn. Ron needed a ride today.”

“Ron needs a ride every day,” muttered York.

Fishinghawk took up for Ron, “Sometimes he don’t -- sometimes he walks.”

“Ain’t he in his eighties?” asked the pastor.

“Where is he?” asked Dr. Ridge.

“Can’t you hear? They just said Abe’s bringing him,” York snapped.

“Of course, I can hear!” retorted Ridge. “I’m talking about the new guy, Gregg, or whatever he said his name is.”

They looked at the bar stool where Jerry Gregg had been -- and he was gone.
