Chapter 18: Under Oath
Bryce looked at Corey for a long second.
Then he looked down at the whiskey dripping off his khakis.
"Do that, Corporal," he said. "See how it goes for you."
He took his keys off the table and walked out.
The three young Marines at the pool table watched him all the way to the door.
He had to pass Sawyer in it.
Sawyer had come in at a run, still in his work clothes, with the foreman behind him.
He stopped dead in the doorway and didn't step aside.
Bryce had to turn sideways to get by him.
Then the door banged, and the neon anchor buzzed, and Corey sat down hard in his chair.
Sawyer crossed the bar.
"You okay, bud?"
"I'm twelve days sober," Corey said. He was laughing and shaking at the same time. "I just told a major. In a bar."
"I heard," the foreman said. "Whole base road heard."
The woman with the crossword got up and brought Corey a glass of ice water without being asked.
"On the house, hon," she said.
I didn't know NCIS kept an office open on a Saturday.
