Chapter 25: The Dish Pit
The Greek diner on Damen opened at five in the morning, and I found out about it from Marta.
"He's washing dishes," she said, over the first tray of rye.
"Who?"
"Who do you think? A guy from the line at Kral Table eats there. He says a man named Dom has been working the pit since the first of September. Six days a week."
I put down the pastry bag.
"Kral Table closed on the thirty-first."
"I know."
"He had money from the sale," I said.
"He paid his people with it," Marta said. "All of it. They each got six months. He kept two grand and a car."
I stood very still.
"Don't go," she said.
"I'm not going."
"You're going."
"I'm just going to eat breakfast," I said.
I got there at six-forty on a Friday, the third of October.
The diner was long and narrow, with red vinyl booths and a laminated menu the size of a newspaper.
A waitress with a pencil in her hair put me in the last booth and asked if I wanted coffee.
I did.
Through the pass window, beyond the grill, I could see the dish pit.
