Chapter 1

It’s a warm day in Central City. I’d spend extended hours sitting in my truck watching cheating spouses and freezing my ass off; I’m glad to see spring. I’d drunk my second cup of coffee when the phone rang.

Hello, Jennifer! I smiled.

Hey, Randall, you busy today?

I’m looking for a client. I believe the only time people are terrible is in the winter, I suggested.

When the weather’s injurious their partner cannot get out and follow them, she teased.

I know that’s why they hire me. However, as soon as it gets warm the private eye work turns to crap.

Is it that bad, Randall?

I haven’t had a client in a week. Can I come over tonight? I need someone to hold me.

Come home. Maybe a kiss would make you feel better.

Make it ten kisses and you got a deal, I smiled.

You’re an idiot, she teased.

But you still love me don’t you?

Yes, crazy. Are you really coming over?

I’ll tell you what. If I’m free, I’ll be there at eight.

I’ll take two T-bone steaks out. Can you stop and get two salads, Randall?

Yes. And I’ll pick up some wine.

Okay! I’ll see you at eight.

The door opened, and a big man walked in.

Are you Randall Stone? he frowned.

Somebody came in, Randall? Jennifer asked.

Jennifer, I’ll call you back.

You got a client?

I don’t know, yet.

Are you Randall Stone the Private Investigator? he asked.

Are you looking for a Private Investigator?

I certainly am.

Is everything alright, Randall? she asked.

I got to go. I’ll see you tonight.

Okay, honey. Bye.

Please come in and have a seat. You want some coffee, Mister…………?

Yes. Coffee will be fine. My name’s Ryan Black.

Would you like sugar with your coffee, Mr. Black?

Yes. Thank you.

What can I do for you?

It’s very simple.

Keep talking.

I was having financial problems and headed for prison. I have a wife and three kids.

You also have a life insurance policy.

Yes! If something happens to me, my family will be taken care of.

You said you’re headed to prison?

Mr. Stone, I was a bookkeeper and embezzled money from some powerful people.

You can get some serious time for embezzlement.

Yes, so I decided to kill myself. I left instructions for my wife to pay back the stolen money, and she could live quite comfortably on the rest.

But wouldn’t suicide eliminates, the life insurance policy? I asked.

Yes. So I went to see a guy I’ve known for years. His name is Derek.

Yes. I know him. He tried to kill me once.

I told Derek I wanted to hire him to kill me. Derek stated he could take care of it for me, and I paid him ten thousand dollars. I asked Derek to find someone to do it, and I don’t want to know who they are.

So, what do you need me for?

Things have changed, Mr. Stone. My wife’s father heard about our problems. He advanced me enough money to pay back the people I stole from and to make a fresh start.

Then you need to tell Derek to call the hit off.

Have you read the morning paper, Mr. Stone?

No.

Derek Luke was murdered last night.

Well, it sounds like you’re in a spot.

Yes. I need your help. I need you to find whoever; Derek Luke hired. And stop him from killing me.

You want me to find a man that the only person knows who he is dead? He could be one of the eighty professional killers living in Central City.

Do you think you can find him, Mr. Stone?

I don’t know. I will try.

You have to find him before he kills me.

Let me get the word out on the streets, and shake a few branches. In the meantime, you stay here and lock the doors.

"You want me to
