Preview from the second episode of Guns + Tacos
Three Brisket Tacos and a Sig Sauer by Michael Bracken
Augustina Gus
Blanchard, M.D. passed under a stand of trees with drooping limbs into the plaza area. It was past 11 p.m. and remained hot and humid, the air still like a rundown watch. At least there wasn’t the intense whiteness of sunlight bouncing off the sparkling concrete, only the warm yellow circles of overhead sodium lighting. Momentarily she had to focus to retain her bearings, reminding herself why she was here and steel her will on what was yet to be done. What had to be done. She removed her earbuds, looping the thin cord around her neck. Her cotton shirt clung to her damp back, the coolness of the cloth against her skin keeping her centered. Before her there was a twenty-something couple at the taco truck, the man with a Cubs cap on backward. Both wore baggy cargo shorts and limited-edition sneakers. The young woman scrolled through her smartphone while she half-listened to her boyfriend rattle on about how the start-up he was part of was going to establish a recognized niche in the gaming industry.
It’s all about the IP, babe. We’ve got some iconic characters populating our shit. Disney won’t have anything on us,
he chuckled.
For sure,
she muttered, amused at something on her screen with its harsh light detailing her pronounced cheekbones.
Their order was called and the two walked off to a clutch of nearby illuminated lunch benches. Other people clustered there too as the free concert in the adjacent park had ended not long ago. Their food had been deposited on cheap paper plates that required them to hold the goods with two hands.
Blanchard stepped up to the order window. As she understood it, it didn’t matter whether or not she used the name Jesse
with this older man looking down at her through the opening in the plexiglass, a glow from inside illuminating the vehicle’s interior fluorescents along the ceiling. Though that was the name in flowing script alongside the mobile kitchen, Jesse’s Tacos.
He didn’t look like a Jesse,
but then, she wasn’t here about the name that may or may not be on his business license. This individual was balding and pleasant-faced. He reminded her of a younger version of that actor she saw now and then when, after any one of her demanding shifts, she zoned out binge watching The Big Bang Theory. Bob Newhart, that was the guy she concluded. Jesse in his short-sleeved white shirt and old school black frame glasses looked like an accountant, not a man who dealt in…well, what it was he dealt in.
What can I do for you, ma’am?
I’d like the special,
she said self-consciously though no one else except the cook, his broad back to her as he was cleaning the grill, was within earshot. At least she hoped that was the case. Was this an elaborate sting? Was she willingly putting her career and freedom in jeopardy as some division of the Chicago Police
