Finding Congresswoman Schweiz's son was priority one. A year ago, when my partner Parrish O'Hanley was gunned down, I suspended the search for her missing son. I put on hold all other clients and just drank myself into oblivion. I know had a chance to reclaim my life. I knew where Shamus Schweiz was hiding out now. He wore a fedora over his flaming red hair. He was no more than 5 foot tall. A leprechaun came to mind. &quot; Shamus Schweiz, you killed my partner,&quot; I said as I placed my hand firmly on his shoulders so he couldn't flee. &quot;Wha..who are you?,&quot; he timidly asked. &quot;I'm the guy that's gonna put you away for life,&quot; I said. &quot;She should never have searched for me, I wanted to be gone, I saved her from embarrassment, she woulda lost that election if I'd been found, the sympathy vote alone put her back in office,&quot; he said proudly. &quot;You didn't make like Houdini for your momma, you made a disappearing act to avoid jail time for your underworld activities,&quot; I said. &quot;Don't tell momma,&quot; he whined. 2007-10-25T22:08:00Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/12146 <p>Hmm, not quite as good as the first two&#8230; perhaps it needed more snazzy lingo ;)</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12146?basename=19718 2007-10-25T22:08:00Z Laine the Grey http://ficlets.com/authors/lainegrey
