They demolished the Hollywood Divine on the last day of November that year. As the wrecking crew brought down the great domed roof of the Leicester Suite, a brindled cat was watching from across the street, its eyes narrowed against the sunlight and the dust.
The cat was still watching as a passing derelict sifted through the rubble that had spilled into the street, attracted by something bright.
The derelict picked up a squarish fragment of mirror, turned it this way and that, and frowned into it. Then he buffed it up on his sleeve and dropped it into his pocket.
He shuffled southward on Vine Street, with the cat patiently following him.
