Description
Uscher Pendragon, Detective of the metropolis of New York, hung up the phone! He had just slept so wonderfully and dreamed beautifully - the kind of dream you better not tell your wife, if you want to keep her ... and now he was awake. The Bureau had called.
Jimmy two fingers had been shot and killed. The night was over!
He got up, hurriedly got dressed, and hurried to the car in a rush.
When he arrived at the crime scene, the colleagues were already on site and had cordoned off the area with barrier tape. How many times had he read that phrase "Police line, do not cross"? Yet it still made him nervous, every single time.
The coroner imformed him that Jimmy had been shot by a .38 caliber, making virtually every cop and every little underworld ghost a suspect. A seemingly hopeless search for the culprit. Jimmy had been a member of the local mafia family and had done some bad things for them. So far he and his former colleague Doc Happy - so named because he always seemed to be in a good mood - had been in vain after him. My former colleague - he thought to himself - always blamed Jimmy for ever getting rid of us. Had his former colleague perhaps settled a bill here?
He looked around and sought in the surrounding crowd the familiar face of his former colleague; he had quit the service and was now a private investigator.
He earns much better now and can divide his time, Uscher grumbled as he searched the crowd.
There! There he stood - right at the police tape - dressed well and his hat pulled deep in the face. He even wears the same glasses as at our last meeting, he thought to himself. He looked into his eyes for a few long seconds.
Guilty, he thought, as guilty as you can be - but can I prove it? He certainly will not have his 38s anymore and I will not need to ask for an alibi.
Uscher looked at his pants and pulled out his notebook. At least he wanted to ask his old colleague some questions - even if he already knew the answers.
When he looked up again and wanted to go in the direction he had last seen Doc Happy, the vacancy was empty and he was just wondering seriously if he had been dreaming and was losing his mind or if his former colleague had just been there ...

You are evolving, my friend! You are using your talents in new and exciting ways. Congratulations! I still like the turtle! And I like how the center image is enough alike the others that one doesn't not that it isn't simply a medium enlargement but the subtle bend of the neck tilt of the head. Excellent work. Very impressive! IGF UPD

HA HA HA! Belly laughter! Brilliant, Hans! And yet I hope it is not a hidden message. I certainly hope that Uscher doesn't look up to see Doc Happy, gone! If I can also say, Chin cleft, you lucky bastard! But the look in your eyes. The modeling is remarkable. The message in the eyes unmistakable. the overlay of crisp, sharp lines, pressed and starched into the very fabric of the story.
