Lee Hacklyn 1970s Private Investigator in Talk Show Ghost - John Leister
CHAPTER ONE
NEW YORK CITY. 1975.
Happy New Year! That’s right, everybody! This is a robbery! Hey, hey! It’s not the end of the world, okay? I mean, it doesn’t have to be. As long as you cooperate. And look at it this way. Y’all got a cool story to tell your friends and family for the rest of your lives. Assuming I don’t blow any of your pretty heads off for thinking like a hero. Do we have any heroes here, tonight? I didn’t think so. This is the real world, fuckers! You’re either a taker or a slave. I’ll bet all of you have jobs, right? You work your butts off for chump change. You work your asses off for some rich, white entitled man who revels in exploiting and enslaving all of your suckers! I ought to kill the lot of you on general principle.
There was a lot of moaning and sniveling and crying and whimpering.
Moments before, there was laughing and dancing and eating and flirting and drinking. A lot of drinking. At the risk of sounding defense, not just by me.
It was New Year’s Eve, December 31st, 1975, my third year as a private investigator.
I was twenty-six, fit, often mistaken for Jan-Michael Vincent, no, not really, but hope springs eternal, and I was on a winning streak, as far as cracking cases went, and no, I’m not referring to cases of beer, ba-dum-chee!
I had money in the bank and I was happy.
The older I became, the more I treasured every moment of happiness, because the other stuff is always on the horizion.
Well, we need that stuff, as awful as it might make us feel, because if we didn’t have it, then how would we ever know that we were happy?
There were two of them.
They were young, they were thin, and they wore black ski-masks. No points for originality, there!
The one who sounded like a candidate for President of the Communist Party wielded a shotgun.
He pointed it at everyone, like it was a magic wand.
