Is he a sell-out or what?
A chapter in the book Snippets
The Dick
by Brett Matthew West
I had been a Dick for more than twenty years and was tired of it. Recently, I had received a piece of mail that caught my fancy.
Every time the local Smucks could not find a missing person my phone rang. They knew I could. For the right amount of green any Joe Blow off the street could hire my services, as well.
Casually she strolled into my office, a briefcase in hand. She plopped it down on top of my dilapidated old wooden desk.
Quickly, I opened it. She told me how she did it, and why she waxed him, then said, "There's 500,000 reasons to bend your elbow." I knew she didn't want him found.
Without a word I stuffed the picture I had received in the mail into the card it came with and grabbed the loot.
The torch and I had a plane to catch.
