Blondie and the two boys were laughing as they disappeared into their car and drove out of the parking garage.

I was finally able to get my wits about me and went to my car. I was on my way home when I saw the club where Peggy worked and I said to myself, "what the hell, nobody at my house anyway," so I pulled in for a drink and to pass a little time with old friends whom I had not seen for quite awhile.

I passed my keys to the valet and told him to keep it up front I wouldn't be long. Robert said, "yes sir, we haven't seen you for sometime now sir, I trust all is well." I assured him it was and passed through the outer door and parted the heavy red plush curtain to enter the club.
