"Scott ejected the disc. The Club Red disc was by far the superior, which left Scott wondering what the missing disc showed. He dug out Melon's interview with Richard Levin to make sure he had it right, and reread the handwritten note: R. Levin--deliv sec vid--2 discs-- EV # H6218B Scott decided to phone Cowly. "Joyce? Hey, it's Scott James. Hope you don't mind. I have a question about these discs." "Sure. What's up?" "I was wondering why you gave me only one of the Club Red discs and not both." Cowly was silent for a moment. "I gave you two discs." "Yeah, you did. One from Tyler's and one from Club Red, but there are supposed to be two from Club Red. Melon has a note here saying two discs were logged." Cowly was silent some more. "I don't know what to tell you. There was only the one disc from Club Red. We have the LAX stuff, the disc from Tyler's, and the disc from Club Red." "Melon's note says there were two." "I hear you. Those things were screened, you know? All we got was a confirmation of arrival and departure times. Nobody saw anything unusual." "Why is it missing?" She sounded exasperated. "Shit happens. Things get lost, misplaced, people take stuff and forget they have it. I'll check, okay? These things happen, Scott. Is there anything else?" "No. Thanks." Scott felt miserable. He hung up, put away the discs, and stretched out on the couch. Maggie came over, sniffed for a spot, and lay down beside the couch. He rested his hand on her back. "You're the only good part of this." Thump thump."
