      Lee Hacklyn Private Investigator in Destructive Consultant - John Leister

      New York City.  1975.

      CHAPTER ONE

      I wanna go home.

      This is your home, pet.  I’m your new Daddy.  I expect gratitude from you.

      What’s that?

      The distance between living and existing extends from one end of the universe to the other.

      To truly live, we must know, love and accept our life’s purpose.

      And act accordingly.

      At that point in my life, my purpose manifested itself whenever I was faced
