This is Jimmy. This is Kapono." The others
nodded, and she went inside.
"Superman without a license--serious offense," Jimmy said.
"Batman worse," Kapono said.
"Still--he pretty strong for a midget."
Oliver grinned and brushed the dirt off his hands. There were times to
keep your mouth shut. Mrs. Nakano returned and handed out cans of
Pepsi. "This was good of you guys." She turned to Oliver. "I'm sorry.
Ken is on a trip. Can I help you?"
"Oh." Oliver thought. "I need to find Muni."
"Ken will be back the day after tomorrow. He is coming in tomorrow
night--late."
"I'll call on the phone, then, the day after tomorrow? Maybe around
nine in the morning?"
"That will be fine."
"Thanks," Oliver said. He drained his soda and gave the can back to
Mrs. Nakano. "Good," he said. He waved and started out the gate.
"You want a ride down the hill?" Jimmy asked.
"No need," Oliver said.
"He fly," Kapono said.
When Oliver got back to Waikiki, he had lunch at the banyan bar and
thought about what had happened. Mrs. Nakano was nice. The moss-rock
delivery duo had been most respectful. The house was in an upscale
neighborhood. Ken Nakano was well established, for sure.
