“...pants”
I draw my Dreams, and thereby make them real. Reality can never be destroyed. Once created it's like the moon, and stars. ...Eternal.
I drew this Angel soul for a graphic novel I was doing. It later became a sweatshirt for a certain radio station. Strictly speaking I meant it as a covert Queer item. No one seemed to get it. Not even when I told them.
I remember the manager insisting I cover up the guy’s schlong. Wanted me to draw pants on him. I said I did...but didn’t it went to press as is and was a best seller at our fund raiser. Above in the offending items: My pals, and New York radio personalities...Kathy Davis, and Fran Luc. ...a swell time was had by all.

THE CASE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP
(Originally posted at Facebook/JimMeroney on 11/22/16)
1. Win at all costs is a lesson NO good parent teaches their kids. 2. Neither is being a bad sport (which summarizes ALL of Trump’s whiney campaign). 3. The end justifies the means is not a lesson any moral person adheres to. 4. You NEVER reward bad behavior is a lesson even Kindergartners know. 5. You have what you tolerate, and you must be willing to tolerate Chump antics in future politicians. 6. The GOP is NO LONGER the party of thinking more than feelings, with UN-thinking Trump!�� 7. The GOP is NO LONGER the party of values voters! Hillary Clinton ran a MUCH more moral campaign, despite her several faults. 8. The GOP is no longer the religious right party, as even non- religious voters see the hypocrisy and power idolatry of Christians voting for Trump! It also gives Jesus a bad name. 9. If you put all the sins and gaffes of the past five GOP nominees together (including their time in office), it DOESN’T compare to Trumps campaign—much less four years in office! 10. Trump ONLY divided the GOP and the nation further. He is NO uniter, at all! 11. The GOP’s chances at expanding their tent to minorities is harmed for a LONG time with Trump! 12. What Trump did and said for 7/8ths of his campaign was the real deal! Faking presidential and knowledgeable is OTHER people controlling him, to be acceptable. 13. Trump’s behavior in the primary IS his credentials for why he became the GOP nominee against sixteen BETTER-qualified people. He CAN’T live down all he FREELY chose to do and say. No one put a gun to his head and said act like a fool and a buffoon. HE ALONE caused his OWN presidential backlash! 14. If policy alone matters (i.e., not personal temperament), Kasich, Cruz, Rubio and Bush had policy down pat when Trump had FEW ideas (i.e., up until his last three months of the campaign)! 15. If policy is all that matters, you could have voted for a trained chimp, robot or even Hitler, because he was wise enough to HIDE his evils until he got in power. 16. Voting for ALL down-ballot Republicans was the ONLY wise Republican choice, as Donald’s campaign HURTS the GOP’s reputation with minorities (and others) for quite a while. 17. I expect president Trump to change into what more people always wanted, but if you believe a political charlatan and chameleon with the core he’s demonstrated, you will believe anything, and you did drink the Kool-Aid!
THE EVIDENCE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP
By his OWN admission (i.e., actions and words), the following paraphrased evidence of Trump’s unfitness for office is offered as Exhibit A (NOT in priority order). It is ONLY an executive summary—MUCH more could be presented:
Sue-happy (NBC, Ms. America, Telemundo, and threatens to against sex abuse accusers). MOST Hispanic illegals are rapists and criminals. A Mexican judge can’t be fair to me. Lies that Mexico’s President never discussed the wall payment on his photo op trip to Mexico. We will have a deportation force. Mexico will pay for a 50 foot wall. I am calling for a complete Muslim ban. Mr. Khan has not sacrificed. I saw Muslims cheering after 9-11. I can’t say I respect women. Women are pigs and dogs. You can grab women’s __ if you’re a celebrity. I’d liked to nail Princess Di. Ms. Piggy. Miss housekeeper. Has been a Democrat (and contributed to them) all his adult life. George Bush didn’t keep us safe. Jeb is as dumb as a box of rocks. Look at Fiorina’s face. There’s a lot of material to work with with Rand Paul. Little Marco. I’m going to spill the beans on Cruz’s wife. He couldn’t be elected dog catcher. Serial adulterer. Serial divorcer. “Two” Corinthians. Favorite Bible verse is an eye for an eye. Never asked God’s forgiveness for ANYTHING, but he’s a “Christian.” Now, one year later, he’s a “baby Christian.” His own pastor hardly knows him. I know more than the generals about ISIS. Pro-choice all his life. Punish the aborting woman. Bomb the sh_ out of them. Tell them to go f_ themselves. Used the ‘P’ word in public (at his rally). NEVER apologizes. The cast of Hamilton should apologize to Pence (something Trump’s incapable of doing himself). I assure you my hands are not small, nor other parts of my anatomy. Blood was coming from Megyn Kelly’s wherever. I’d date my daughter if it was legal. Of course women flirted with me—it’s to be expected. The great thing about me is I’m SO rich. I’m so handsome. Six foot portrait of himself paid for with charity donations. Had NO detailed plans until the last three months of his campaign; only it will be great, yuge, we'll look into that, believe me! Levy 45 percent tariffs on China. Sell federal lands to foreigners to pay off our debt. Default on loans from China to pay down our debt. There may be riots in Cleveland. I want to punch that guy in the face. I could shoot someone on a New York City street and lose no support. I’ll pay your legal bills if you beat/punch that protester. POW’s are losers. John McCain and Mitt Romney are losers. I was for the Iraq War before I was against it. Skipped a GOP debate for a vet fund raiser (to make up for his gaffe), and the media pressured him to pay up. I couldn’t serve in the military from an ankle pain/spur that I can’t recall which foot it was on. Ted Cruz’s dad killed JFK. Birther on Obama, Cruz and Rubio. Everything is rigged (elections, the media, GOP primaries) or unfair. If the GOP is not "fair" to me I may go third party (the man who started all the unfairness, and was ONLY unfair to every rival). Would never release his tax returns. Eighteen years of paying NO taxes. Would never prove his Wharton class rank. I’m my only adviser. I alone can fix it. I have the best words. I have a great brain. Daddy’s little $1 million loan to Donnie (and he’s the champion of the little guy?). Four (or more) bankruptcies. Unpaid illegal alien laborers. Outsourced many of his products. Paid off a golf shot winner debt from charity funds. Settled Trump University lawsuit. Putin is my green room buddy/pal. Russia didn’t invade Ukraine.
NEED I SAY MORE?

Cam’O’s Challenge
What parent doesn’t think their child is the most beautiful, handsome, and smartest one in the world? And what dog owner doesn’t think the same thing about their darling and special four-legged family member? That is the perfect description of Cam’O to us. Support for our “kids” is so important in all respects but most importantly for these four-legged kids who will hopefully go on to provide a service within society for someone in need.
I believe this is a good time to share a clearer update on Cam’O as he reaches 16 months of age and continues to grow in size, stateliness, confidence, and maturity. And indeed, he is a beautiful boy. Thankfully, his personality and temperament match his beauty. And while he remains in our care as a service dog puppy in training, I see him as the perfect family member. Of course, he presents challenges at this time in his life like any teenager. All in all, Cam’O is a wonderful, loving, and beautiful dog headed for a life as an awesome and mature grown-up full of unconditional love and acceptance for all he meets.
I have resisted sharing much about Cam’O’s health concerns that began last fall. As the time for advanced training moves closer, I find my concerns for his final advancement and placement growing. Most of my concerns revolve around Cam’O’s health.
Cam’O has been dealing with an unusual and somewhat rare condition since last October that affected the nerves and muscles of his hindquarters (his back legs) and robbed him of the ability to stand or walk at that time. He underwent numerous tests and visits to our local vet last fall, as well seeing the specialist and his awesome techs in Denver, including a hospital stay there. Cam’O was diagnosed with something called “junction-opathy” and then prescribed medication that brought back the use of his legs. All symptoms and issues were gone, as long as he was on the medication.
Over these past months as he continued on the medication, he has grown in size and weight with no signs of the condition returning. There have been some side affects to the medications, but we have that under control now, too. All in all, he is a very normal, happy, intelligent 16-month-old pup. The question remains as to whether his recovery will be permanent, as he continues with medications. Our hope is that by fall, the medication will be reduced significantly, followed by full recovery. Such a recovery would give Paw Pals the green light to continue with advanced training and placement.
So what is Cam’O’s reality?
“He’s a bit of a silly Golden Retriever full of love for life and great potential, even as he shows some immaturity, but he is still young.” While Cam’O looks and behaves normally for a dog of his age and maturity level, his health condition is hidden by the medication. Will his condition be considered cured in the months ahead? The final analysis is still months away. He may never recover 100% without ongoing medication. It is still possible that he will need medication for his entire life in order to maintain the health he now enjoys. He could also come completely off the medication in time. Of course, a lifetime of medication would disqualify him from work as a service dog.
At this time, no final decision has been made regarding a time frame on Cam’O’s future in training. He currently maintains a daily routine with medication and continues to mature physically and emotionally. We continue to move forward with Cam’O’s training and socializing with a positive attitude and the hope that by fall there will be significant changes in the outlook for a medication-free life. That is what he needs to ultimately succeed as a service dog.
“…PPAD has been faced with unusual and costly major medical expenses for a few of the puppies and graduates, in addition to Cam’O. These unexpected expenses have put a serious strain on this all-volunteer organization’s budget.”
Unanswered questions and unknown facts are a part of his daily life. While there may be more questions than answers today, it is not yet time to shut the door on Cam’O’s training and future in service. Cam’O still has the potential to complete his puppy training and move on to advance training, in time. A little more training, socializing and maturity will help.
There are still long-range health questions. There were setbacks in his training and socializing last fall and into the winter due to his initial bout with this rare condition. First, there was the struggle in identifying the affliction and then the extended recovery period from the first signs of a problem that included a long hospital stay. Side effects of the medicine set him back in training for several months too. He’s a bit of a silly Golden Retriever full of love for life and great potential, even as he shows some immaturity, but he is still young.
Puppy raisers do all we can to prepare the pups in our care for life in service of one type or another. Sometimes service work is not meant to be the life work of these puppies. Of course there are many other options for service dog pups, not the least being a much-needed family pet and companion. Only time will tell what Cam’O’s final destination will be, but we are continuing to work towards his preparation for placement in a service that is best suited for him.
Paw Pals Assistance Dogs (PPAD), with whom Cam’O and I are affiliated, is a small fully volunteer non-profit organization that has been providing assistance dogs across the country for many, many years. This past year PPAD has been faced with unusual and costly major medical expenses for a few of the puppies and graduates, in addition to Cam’O. These unexpected expenses have put a serious strain on this all-volunteer organization’s budget. We, as others, are fortunate that PPAD makes every effort to provide the funds necessary for these dogs extraordinary medical needs. We are very grateful for that help so that we can continue our daily job of raising Cam’O through his health challenges.

Franklin millionaire businessman Monthly bill Lee received a shock upset during the GOP gubernatorial most important in essence simply because he arrived throughout as a great dude. He did not run assault adverts, and he travelled throughout the point out in an RV 2 times, location up extremely scripted town halls in all ninety five counties. He talks a lot about his faith and how his enjoy for Jesus got him by way of the worst time in his everyday living, when his spouse died in a tragic horse-riding incident. But other than admitting he does not consider in gay relationship, Lee has not talked a lot about what that faith seriously appears to be like like, and the press corps has but to press him on it. For some cause, Lee has turn out to be noticed as a “moderate,” not compared with Governor Monthly bill Haslam. He’s not.
Some of this arrived to gentle Tuesday, right after The Tennessean exposed a point out trooper had been canned from Democrat Karl Dean’s protection detail right after leaking information to Lee’s campaign about a “Muslim function.” Explained function was actually a meet up with and greet at Yassin’s Falafel Dwelling in Knoxville, a cafe operated by a Syrian refugee with a genuinely inspiring tale, but Lee evidently thought it was in a mosque, and that a photo of Dean in a mosque would be damning.
But to attendees of Grace Chapel, the Williamson County evangelical church of which Lee is a longtime member, affiliation with Islam is very pretty much damning. 1 visitor pastor, Michael Brown, gave a sermon on March 1, 2015, on “Understanding Radical Islam,” which he says he was precisely requested to give by Grace Chapel’s pastor Steve Berger. Brown started off his sermon admitting that perhaps not all Muslims aid violence or are trying to choose above the nation with Shariah legislation, but as he went on, the implications are crystal clear: Christians in authorities are only trying to do “what’s correct,” whilst in Islam, “there’s no separation of church and point out,” and if Muslims choose above we could all be beheaded.
Islamophobia is not new to Tennessee politics, and it’s specially not new to evangelicals in Tennessee politics, but when 1 is operating for governor of a point out that has the biggest inhabitants of Kurdish immigrants in the nation, it’s value questioning why no 1 is inquiring Lee about this. It is also value inquiring about Lee’s sights on females and the LGBT group, above and outside of gay relationship.
During the most important, there were rumors that Lee had informed supporters at a compact fund-raiser that U.S. Consultant Diane Black “didn’t glimpse like governor material” and that he did not understand why she did not just want to remain home with her grandchildren. Lee and his campaign denied it, just like they denied inquiring the trooper to get a photo of Dean in a mosque. But it’s crystal clear Lee is not a proponent of females in leadership, offered the make-up of his personal corporation. Out of 13 people in leadership roles, together with Lee himself, only 1 is a female, and all are white. At Grace Chapel there are no woman pastors, and no female serves on the board.
Specified Pastor Steve Berger’s sights, on the other hand, it’s unclear why any female would want to provide in church leadership. On September 30th, Berger gave a sermon on Brett Kavanaugh, entitled “Biblical Skills for Bringing an Accusation In opposition to An individual.” In it he cites verses from Deuteronomy, Matthew, and 1 Timothy that say not 1 but two or 3 witnesses (at least) are essential to bring an accusation of sin in opposition to another person. “This is a moral legislation here,” Berger says.
“I’m telling you, I’ve been victimized. I’ve been abused by phony accusations,” Berger says, later on in his sermon. What accusations people may have been, Berger does not detail. But he states that considering that his accusers did not deliver many “witnesses” (which can, he says, consist of fingerprints or DNA evidence), then it was the accusers by themselves performing unbiblically. “For this cause alone, and listen to me, for this cause of two or 3 witnesses alone, Dr. Ford’s testimony, as it relates to this Choose Kavanaugh concern, does not meet up with the biblical requirements to bring forth a legitimate accusation.”
Berger went on to say that even if Kavanaugh did rape another person, he’s still certified for the Supreme Court, simply because “Moses was a assassin ahead of he was the world’s biggest lawgiver,” and “King David was an adulterer and assassin as a King,” and “Saul of Tarsus was a assassin ahead of he turned Paul the Apostle, the biggest Apostle in the heritage of the church.” (Notably, Moses and David and Paul all actually sought forgiveness, a thing Kavanaugh has not carried out.)
This is considerably from the only offensive sermon Berger has offered. In a June 28, 2015, sermon entitled, “It’s Evening in Sodom,” Berger laments the SCOTUS ruling legalizing gay relationship. He preaches that his followers should not be hateful to their gay pals, but they should “beg them to cease their wickedness ahead of it’s as well late for them” — i.e., ahead of Judgment Working day — and says that holding again “truth” in the name of “love” is the real “hate.” Useless to say, the church also does not consider transgender people are genuinely transgender both.
Berger is an energetic proponent of gay conversion treatment, i.e., the discredited belief that 1 can “pray the gay away.” Tennessee is sad to say not 1 of the 15 states and territories that has banned the observe, regardless of opposition by the American Psychiatric Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Planet Health and fitness Firm. But Berger not only preaches about the observe, he’s on the board of the Reformed Hope Community, which describes alone as “a coalition of ministries serving people who motivation to conquer sinful relational and sexual challenges in their life and people impacted by these kinds of behavior, significantly homosexuality.”
Berger is 1 of the customers of Lee’s “Community and Faith-Based Advisory Council,” together with musicians Michael W. Smith and Ricky Skaggs, NASCAR driver Darrell Waltrip, and retired hockey player (and Mr. Carrie Underwood) Mike Fisher. Lee has talked a lot about producing a new point out place of work of faith-dependent and group initiatives if elected, which, at this point, appears to be just about unavoidable offered the polling and Dean’s unwillingness to go on the assault. Regardless of whether the place of work comes to exist stays to be noticed, but during an interview in early July, I requested him about the program.
simply click to enlarge
Lee downplayed the faith facet of the place of work and informed me that he wishes to “reach out to nonprofits that are undertaking the perform that authorities are unable to and should not do, regardless of whether they’re faith-dependent or not.” At the time, a write-up on the Breitbart-esque Tennessee Star had expressed “concerns” as to regardless of whether the place of work would have to perform with Islamic nonprofits, and I requested Lee about it. He said he hadn’t browse the post. I then requested if he was attuned to the requirements of Muslims in the point out, specially offered the Kurdish group in Nashville.
“My spouse has worked in a ministry that serves Kurdish refugees, I’ve been to Kurdistan and served with refugees from ISIS in refugee camps,” Lee replied. “I consider that the perform of nonprofits is impressive and crucial, and that is what this is about. And I am a Christian, so my encounters and my perform with non-earnings that are undertaking productive perform has been Christian corporations, so that is what I discuss about, simply because I discuss about my encounter, and I will aid operates that are undertaking, conference some of the biggest problems in our group that I consider authorities should not meet up with, it’s not the role of authorities to do that. But it is the role of the nonprofit group and I would persuade that type of perform, for certain.”
When requested for remark on the numerous challenges Wednesday, Lee’s campaign communications advisor Chris Walker got a bit testy. “A cherry-picked sermon does not equivalent Monthly bill Lee agrees with this,” Walker said of the Kavanaugh sermon. I said that I wasn’t just searching at 1 sermon, that I wanted to know if Lee agreed with Berger about the “usefulness” of gay conversion treatment. “If this is a Steve Berger tale, you require to discuss to Steve Berger,” Walker replied. When pressed on regardless of whether Lee agreed with Berger’s benchmarks for ��biblically reporting” sexual assault, Walker questioned regardless of whether I had long gone by way of all of the sermons offered at Dean’s church.
Dean is a Catholic who (when not campaigning) consistently attends the Cathedral of the Incarnation, the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nashville. The church has mass 3 instances daily (only 2 times on Friday and as soon as on Saturday), so even if all the solutions were archived on the web like Grace Chapel’s (they aren’t), it’d be a lot to go by way of. But, like numerous other Catholics, Dean has publicly damaged with the church on quite a few challenges. He does think abortion should be legal, he supported legalized gay relationship a long time ahead of SCOTUS did, and he’s okay with females in the pulpit. And compared with Lee, Dean is not operating adverts touting his partnership with Jesus.

Emma Watson Donates $1.4 Million To Battle Sex Harassment Ahead Of BAFTAs
Harry Potter pal Emma Watson just donated $1.4 million to a British fund established to battle sexual harassment and support its victims.
The announcement about Watson’s donation, along with contributions from several other celebrities, to the UK Justice and Equality Fund followed the publication of a “Dear Sisters” open letter in The Guardian on Saturday. The letter was signed by some 200 women in the British entertainment industry and called on people everywhere to stand in solidarity with Hollywood’s Times Up initiative to fight sexual harassment and inequality.
“It’s easy to dismiss harassment and abuse as being caused by ‘one or two … bad men,’ but the UK statistics point to a much bigger and more structural problem. The issue is systemic,” Watson told The Guardian.
The letter and donations served as a curtain raiser for an activist night at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards on Sunday in London. Celebrities at the BAFTAs wore black to show their solidarity with the movement to eradicate sexual harassment. Virtually all of the stars turned out in black, and many also wore Times Up badges.
One of the few attendees who opted out of the all-black clothing decision was the Duchess of Cambridge, who wore a dark green dress and a black ribbon belt. Members of royalty are not supposed to publicly take political positions.

The Duchess of Cambridge turns up in green — with a black belt — at the BAFTA awards.
Frances McDormand, star of “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” dressed in a gown of red swirls over black. But when she accepted her award for best actress she said, “I want you to know I stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. I also want to say that I appreciate a well-organized act of civil disobedience.”

“Three Billboards” grabbed five top awards, including best film, best British film and best supporting actor for Sam Rockwell. Gary Oldman won the nod for best actor for playing Winston Churchill in “The Darkest Hour.”
Accepting the best film prize, “Three Billboards” writer and director Martin McDonagh appeared to give a nod to the night’s activism.
“Our film is a hopeful one in lots of ways but it’s also an angry one,” McDonagh said. “As we’ve seen this year, sometimes anger is the only way to get people to listen and to change, so we’re thrilled that BAFTA has recognized this.”
The UK Justice and Equality fund aims to create “personal, social, legal and policy changes that will ensure everyone can feel safe at work, at play and at home” with support services, advocacy and legal and policy work. On its GoFundMe page, the fund has already collected $2.25 million in donations.
The British “Dear Sisters” open letter called on people everywhere to “use your platform, your voice and your power as a change-maker.”
We believe we need to use our power as communicators and connectors to shift the way society sees and treats us. We need to examine the kind of womanhood our industry promotes and sells to the world.
Perhaps Time’s Up seems a million miles away to you — started by a group of women with privilege. The truth is, we are all workers, and whether we’re in the limelight or in the shadows, our voices matter. With our collective power, we can galvanize others.
Watson, Jodie Whittaker, Keira Knightley, Naomie Harris, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Thandie Newton, Carey Mulligan, Claire Foy, Emilia Clarke, Felicity Jones and Joely Richardson were just a few of the hundreds of women in the film and television industry who signed the letter.
Others who wore black to the BAFTAs included:

7 excellent Networking Tips
Some helpers have the tendency to be perfectionists, which may not be helpful as far as the task is worried. This tendency stalls work and can avoid the assistant or whole group from continuing the company relationship and project work. Networking is relationship structure and absolutely nothing constructs relationships by looking for methods to be of help to each other. You don't have to offer your services totally free, but you can give a few pointers to get them started - if that's the sort of aid they need. I am giving you some fundamental "Social Networking" suggestions that you can tap into them which I discover work quite well. With any marketing, it's crucial to remain on top of it as much as possible. However with social networking, it's almost a job in of itself as you need to keep so numerous sites. Don't get me incorrect, the work you put in to some social networking websites can be worth your time to acquire pals, fans and etc if you apply what you're doing appropriately. Let's begin with talking to people you know - who do you know already who can help you to promote your company? Perhaps you have actually got contacts with ex-colleagues, friends or pals of buddies. Simply ask as we are just a few steps away from the people we want to fulfill if you desire to fulfill a specific individual. Another method to network your service is through a home and garden program. A lot of towns have them, or something much like this. Call your chamber of commerce in your location and they ought to know if they provide this kind of program in your town.This showtypically is a 3 day occasion. Servicesestablisheddisplay screens, products, etc. You satisfy withhundreds ofpeople at a time and discuss exactly what your servicehas tooffer networking tips . Numerouscompanies have effective sales, or agreement work for numerous months from these shows. Identify the individual who does the real hiring and request a chance to schedule a short informational interview by telephone, or face to face to request for profession details and guidance. Constantly follow up with a thank you letter or note. Whether you're networking a small conference, big meetings, gatherings, conferences, luncheons, trade convention, fund raisers, sports occasions, or your regional chamber of commerce; the main objective of networking is to fulfill individuals with the possibility of doing service together in the future. I've been networking throughout my whole service profession. I find it a lot of fun meeting brand-new people, finding commonalities and to see if we can make a connection. Nevertheless, I've also had times when my networking experiences were busy and tiresome. I really worth my time and did not wish to waste it by attending a networking event and turning up empty handed.

Chapter 1 (The lavender case)
It was a summer afternoon in the city of Megatropolis, the streets full of people. And in an alley not far away from a bar lies a building looking a little worse for wear, it's windows a black tint and seemed to be made with thick metal. It's double doors felt reinforced.
No one smart enough would come here looking for trouble, unless they had business. Well, someone did. And they took great care in noting the faded wallpaper of the hallway, how it's rose pattern was missing color. Much like the gray floor. They'd eventually get to another door, black like the two outside but with a white handle and wording. Placing a rather womanly hand over the bold and metal letters they'd hesitate for a moment. Feeling as if that perhaps it wasn't a good idea to be here.
Soon, they gained the courage to knock on the door. Hearing a deep, smooth and slightly accented voice response "Enter" they said. And with a light weight, they turned the knob.
There in the room sat a man in a black leather swivel chair, a well built man. The dim light made it difficult, but his guest could see his black cloak draped over his white cloth covered shoulders and the black vest that they could see. The brown short hair had a few signs of hat hair, most likely from the black fedora with a white band sitting next to him on the neat desk. His single brown eye, sharp and trained for detail looked his visitor up and down, the scope covering his other seemed to have his visitor's main attention. He scooted a short glass to the side, the condensation on the outer side showed how he liked his whiskey that sat a little away from the desk on a small personal bar. The little metallic plaque in front of his desk closer to the visitor said just what it said outside, but nicer. "Presto, private detective."
And it was soon Presto's turn to scan over his guest. A woman came to his office, lavender long locks and life filled light blue orbs for eyes. Quite the dame to say the least, especially in the lower areas. A modest looking outfit too, a blouse and skirt with a simple pair of heels. But this girl came here not on a sensual reason, but rather a job for the detective. How she nervously played with her fingers gave him the indicator that she was in danger, or someone she knew closely. "What brings you here today ma'am?" He asked, remaining polite and official. "Well.." she said in a soft and gentle voice. "I'm being followed." She admitted, making the detective raise a brow as he shifted in his seat. "By who ma'am?" "I.. I don't know.. but the feeling started about a few months ago at a party" Presto gestured for the woman to seat herself in one of the two plush leather chairs, and once she did he continued his questions as he was writing them down "Might I inquire what kind of party? Any new or unfriendly faces?" "It was a fund raiser for the hospital uptown, I'm a nurse there.. and no not that I know of" as she explained the detective slowly stopped writing. "Ma'am, you understand that this makes you sound like you're crazy. Do you have any proof that you are indeed being followed?" He asked, watching as her eyes turned tired. How subtly her shoulders sagged. "Yes, I know. It's why I came to you. No one else could help me." She replied, holding her head a little with a hand. “The only proof I have is that at night my windows and doors that are usually locked, aren’t when I wake up. There’s always footprints on my lawn when I step outside.. Please I’ll pay everything I have! Just help me!”
She seemed desperate, at her ends with whoever was stalking her. She must of not gotten much sleep the past couple of days. "Alright, I'll see what I can do." He replied after a moment to think it over. The woman's eyes gained some hope as a small smile reached her lavender painted lips. "Thank you, I'm Triage." She introduced, seemed for a moment forgot she was suppose to give her name long ago. "Triage.." he mirrored a few times softly to keep it remembered before he looked up at her once more "Has anyone gone missing at work lately Ms. Triage?". His question had her thinking for a moment before her eyes flickered back up "A doctor, Dr. Robertson, a friend of mine. About three days ago he stopped coming into work.” “Do you know where he lives?” she shook her head and sighed.
“I’m afraid that’s only able to be seen in his file.” she had looked down as if, ashamed she couldn’t be of assistance. With a small sigh, the detective stood. Placing his favored fedora onto his head he cleared his throat. “Well, shall we go get a copy of it then?” he responded as he headed for the door, the nurse not far behind. “Wait! How are you-” “Don’t worry, I don’t do anything illegal.” he replied, the suggestion seemed to make him a bit annoyed but nothing more. And Triage knew better than to press, so she left it be.
The drive to the uptown hospital was quiet, but once they arrived Presto had her stay in the car, assuring her she’d be safer in it. Entering the busy building, the detective could smell the various cleaners, the medicine, and overall the usual smell a hospital carries. He walked across their recently cleaned floors, glancing he could tell they were cleaned this morning. Hard working.. He could admire that. Arriving at the lobby’s stand he greeted the woman behind the desk, her silver eyes blinked up at him through the black mascara. He placed his badge that hid well in his cape onto the desk “I’d like a copy of Dr. Robertson’s personal file, please.” he said voice lowered in volume. The detective watched as this curly red haired nurse brushed her short locks back and took his badge to inspect it for a fake. “Sure hon’ give me a minute” she said, having quite the thick Boston accent before turning out of her chair and with his badge went to make a few calls.
While he waited, he took a bit of a more look around, noticing a good amount of people waiting for check ups, follow ups, and various other things. It was a very nice hospital to say the least. If his client was telling the truth, then he saw a motive for stalking her. She’d certainly have quite the paycheck.
The lobby nurse returned shortly, file in hand and returned his badge “Your pals must be some really high people..” she commented giving him the file also “Well, when what I’m doing is your job for years, you tend to make friends and enemies.” he replied kindly before taking his leave. Gazing back only once or twice to see the redhead now back in her chair filing her nails. Returning to the car, Presto opened the file and started to give it a read for an address. “Did everything go alright?” Triage had asked, concerned for her co-workers safety. “Of course.. Here, hold this.” he replied handing her the file to hold while he started the car.
“Do you know where Marthan Street is?” he asked as they started leaving the hospital. “Oh, yes. It’s right past the diner on Norton Avenue.” she replied, seeming to become the dame to give directions. It took a little time, but they arrived on Marthan Street. Scanning for the correct home, he soon found it. A small maroon home with a rundown looking car in the driveway. “2701 Marthan Street.” he said as he rolled to a stop. “That’s Dr. Roberston’s car.” Triage confirmed, he always wanted to save up the money for one of those shiny newer ones that was always in the middle of the dealer’s showroom. Said he’d take her dancing when he did.
Presto exited his vehicle and walked over to Triage’s side and opened the door for her. As she stepped out she couldn’t help but smile a little “A gentlemen.” she commented kindly before the two walked towards the home. The cobblestone paved driveway was a good indicator that this was the home of a rather modestly living man.
Knocking on the birch colored door, they waited patiently to only get no response. Ringing the doorbell beside it did nothing either. His car was still in the driveway, so he had to of been home. Concerned now, Presto knocked a bit harder to still get no answer. Until finally he busted down the door, telling Triage to keep behind him as he stormed the home. Coming into the living room loft, Presto saw why Dr. Robertson wasn’t answering the door. There on the ground was a middle aged man with golden blond hair, green eyes open wide with horror as his lifeless body was half on the shattered glass table, and the stained carpet floor.
Triage wasn’t far behind and saw the scene. Her eyes widen with tears of horror as she covered her mouth to stifle a scream and sob. “O..Oh god..” she said weakly taking a few steps back. With breath, Presto moved in. “Wh-what are you doing?! We have to call-” “I am the police.” he replied calmly as he started to examine the crime scene. Easily, he could tell from the room’s damage, there was a scuffle. The sofa was turned over, the glass from the table was in the doctor’s body, a large chunk seemed to be the murder weapon.
He frowned though, taking notice that the glass in his heart wasn’t just the cause, there were multiple stab wounds across his body from what he could tell. All in an angry fashion.. Must of been heat of the moment.
Walking over to Triage he gently pulled her outside muttering “You have to wait.”. Carefully, he lead the horror struck nurse to the backseat of his car and had her sit down while he called this in. Soon the police arrived and took over the crime scene. The victim, Dr. Roboertson..His death was similar to ones in the past cases. And like the others.. He had an idea of who the killer could be.
