Genesis:

The grass had been allowed to grow longer than usual, meandering into cracks between the bricks that lined the walkway to the garden shed. A volunteer Oak sapling, having taken root months before, spreads its leaves to catch the sun, fearless of being plucked from the lawn......

Just beyond the garden shed sat the trash cans.
Since the murder of the old man who owns the house, nobody had taken the trash cans to the street so the true contents have yet to become known.

Detective Jakwoski was tired. Hung over from the night before and searching his pockets for the chance of a cigarette.

Comes walking a creature unlike any he's seen in the past. She stops and aks him "do you have a light" -

AR15barrels · « **Reply #6 on:** November 10, 2008, 09:52:06 PM »

Why, yes I do, he says.
Then he procedes to ask her if she knows anything about the old man that used to live in the house.

VegasND · « **Reply #7 on:** November 10, 2008, 09:57:45 PM »

"You could say I knew him well," she quietly replied.

saigon1965 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 10, 2008, 10:16:05 PM »

Please elaborate as this is an investigation to a murder. Shall we get a cup of coffee or you want to go dowtown?

AR15barrels · « **Reply #9 on:** November 11, 2008, 12:28:57 PM »

You got nothing on me copper.
Get a warrant.

saigon1965 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 11, 2008, 03:14:37 PM »

You know, if something was to happen to you - No one would know, so why don't you tell me...

AR15barrels · « **Reply #11 on:** November 11, 2008, 03:33:04 PM »

Ok, so how about that light?
I first met him about 6 years ago.

saigon1965 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 11, 2008, 04:20:29 PM »

I was only 19 and hungry, he got me off the streets and into a job. I remember he would always take me to this Chinese restaurant over there on 5th and 73rd...

"He was a very interesting Fellow" She replied
"Very quiet yet excentric, paculier and mysterioiuse, i never did understood him"...

saigon1965 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 11, 2008, 06:49:40 PM »

Tel me - Did he ever hit you?

jacques · « **Reply #15 on:** November 11, 2008, 07:27:06 PM »

Never, (starting to show tears welting up in her eyes), he was like a father to me.

Ojisan · « **Reply #16 on:** November 11, 2008, 07:30:34 PM »

He was truly a gentleman and of high standards.
However, this made him less than popular in some of the nightclubs near downtown.

saigon1965 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 11, 2008, 07:49:01 PM »

I noticed the cigars in your handbag - Are those his?

Ojisan · « **Reply #18 on:** November 11, 2008, 08:17:02 PM »

I know the cigars are Cuban and not legal...but yes, they were his.
He was involved with many different people...including smugglers.

jacques · « **Reply #19 on:** November 11, 2008, 10:33:23 PM »

The detectives mind was wandering. He knew he had to investigate the scene of the murder more thoroughly.

Angie · « **Reply #20 on:** November 11, 2008, 10:53:46 PM »

"So what kind of a job did he give you?" the detective inquired.

Frijolito1988 · « **Reply #21 on:** November 11, 2008, 10:59:32 PM »

Just cleaning up his house on the weekends and tending to his garden , Stuff that has to be done ever since his wife di....eh...maybe we should wrap this up detective jakwoski

AR15barrels · « **Reply #22 on:** November 11, 2008, 11:15:19 PM »

I never told you my name was Detective Jakowski.
I'm curious, how did you know my name?

Angie · « **Reply #23 on:** November 11, 2008, 11:21:22 PM »

Female intuition.
Oh, and you have your name card stuck in your hat band.

saigon1965 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 12, 2008, 03:21:46 PM »

Now that he's gone, I don't know what to do. The last few years he has shown me so much, like the father I never had...

Ojisan · « **Reply #25 on:** November 12, 2008, 03:36:37 PM »

"Do you still have a key to his house? We need to look around and see what we find."

Moonclip · « **Reply #26 on:** November 12, 2008, 03:43:53 PM »

But I must be careful, it could be a trap!

jacques · « **Reply #27 on:** November 12, 2008, 09:36:59 PM »

Meanwhile, downtown, in the dark, damp depths of the basement in a abandoned building, a shadowy figure is hunched over a work bench diligently working away. The shapes of rats scurrying in the depths and drops of water falling from the failing pipes give accent to the paint peeling from the walls.

saigon1965 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 13, 2008, 02:03:03 PM »

Wilson - Would you like something to eat? You've been down there for 6 hours already - What are you doing anyways?

Moonclip · « **Reply #29 on:** November 13, 2008, 02:06:03 PM »

Yes, please, I am starving and thirsty. Do you have any crumpets and a Tecate?
