Marking Time ‘Til We Die

Milton’s contact at Caterpillar Records told him about a chartered flight from New Orleans to Panama City, but warned him that the other passengers may be a bit sketchy. Meanwhile, Shanky’s folks had let him know there weren’t any quick ways of heading south of the border, especially if they wanted to transport their vehicles, so the posse decided to take their chances in the Big Easy.

They drove backroads through Alabama, managed to evade or avoid any entanglements with Smokey, and ended up in New Orleans several hours later. After getting in touch with their contact about the chartered flight, they dined in a fine seafood establishment and hit various nightspots to kill some time.
