Diapers for a newborn, Wal-Mart, Target, what store is bound to NOT have diapers for a newborn baby? Walt tucked the prepaid phone-- his second phone-- back into the pocket of his windbreaker, walking in long strides to the bar that sat adjacent to a retail store that, he was sure, didn't have the diaper brand Skyler desired. All the more reason to sit on a paint-chipping stool, drinking whiskey, lying to his wife for all the wrong reasons. He needed to be a l o n e -- this was the only place he could go to without having to explain his arrival. & the ambiance was more than welcoming.
❝Scotch... off the rocks.❞ His voice is curt and cool as he caught a glimpse of the man sitting just beside him. With close-cropped hair and a five-o'-clock shadow adorning his face, Walt was able to deduce that this man had been through Hell & back -- maybe even literally. Perhaps he'd been staring too long.
He finally looked away.
