the guy at the marriott 's desk told mahmeini 's man that yes , there was a bar , not exactly in town but ten miles north , just outside the city limit , on the left shoulder of the two-lane , called the cell block , a pleasant place , reasonably priced , and that yes , it was usually open late , and that yes , there was a taxi service in town , and that yes , he would be happy to call a cab immediately .
