In the police HQ interrogation room I asked, &quot;Who you workin for?&quot; The big goon that I had cold cocked in the bar earlier, sat silently staring at me, his lip bloody and his nose broken. Finally he decided to speak, in a nasal tone he said, &quot;I don gotta tell you notin.&quot; Sergeant Hammet looked at me, excused himself from the room and shut the door. &quot;Is that so tough guy?,&quot; I said while boxing in his ears. &quot;Yo dat hurts, stop it, geez Louise, giva guy a break, I aint gettin that much dough to put up wit dis,&quot; he said. &quot;Now you're talkin my language. Spill,&quot; I said. &quot;Dis guy, I dunno his name, he pay me, tell me to call you up tell you I got info, I'm like supose ta kill ya,&quot; he said. &quot;Go on,&quot; I said impatiently.&quot; What did this guy look like?&quot; &quot;He was short, had red hair,&quot; the goon said. Red hair, like his mother, Congresswoman Schweiz, I said to myself. I should have known. Her son had been missing a year, the case O'Hanely and I were on when O'Hanley was killed. So her kid killed my partner. 2007-10-25T22:06:05Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/12135 <p>I am glad you sequeled it!
