He consults an address that lies on the seat beside him. Looks at the houses as he passes them. Mostly rental houses. Some of yards are marked by car tracks, the windows plastered with tinfoil or hung with faded flags. He finds the address he s looking for. A small house on a quiet street. He pulls into the driveway. This is much better looked after though still modest. There are flowers freshly planted. He takes a moment. Stares at the house. Takes a deep breath. 2 EXT PIER- 1961 - SUMMER - DAY 2 GRANT S MEMORY: of a beautiful 18 year old girl.
