I complete my week at Nina's while prepping for my week with Lennox. In all things, I hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Driving home from Malibu I look in the rearview mirror and there he is. Sitting in my backseat. Lemon man. I try to keep my eyes on the road, but I continue to check the mirror. He travels with me all the way back to my apartment building and into the elevator. Up. Up. Up.
I notice his hair for the first time. Black. Wild and slowly moving as if he is underwater. His right arm is covered in tattoos. Numbers. Columns of numbers. I get off the elevator and he stays behind. I stand and stare as the doors close. I walk into my apartment and set down one of the boxes of clothes from Nina. I left the other boxes back in the Jeep. Three DICE-DOWN. Six hours of sleep.
