Happy FrigginÕ New Year. Two days in and I almost
blasted my first punk in Ô36 already. That kid musta been
smacked out pretty good to kill a cop just to get to his cruiser.
And all this right in front of the neon glow of the Starck Club. Thankfully,
his hands were shaking so bad he missed me by a mile.
Dumb punk didnÕt realize his life was already over before
he even left the rock he climbed out from under.
I chased the junkie into the club but lost him in the crowd.
Got him on the cams though, so IÕm sure heÕs arrested by now.
I ripped my leg open when I slipped on the floor Ð there were
broken vials of U4 all over the place, man. I guess kids arenÕt
even going to the bathroom to jack up anymore.
ItÕs funny, actually, getting used to this good guy shit. A few years
ago it very well could have been me laying in the streets with a
fatal case of lead poisoning. Who wouldÕve ever thought that IÕd be crossing
over to the other side, patrolling the same blocks I used to run gangs on.
IÕm sure all theYoung Masters and Warriors are dead now, anyway.
Life sure is strange the way things come full circle.
Damn.
You know, I think that dead cop worked
with my dad at the FPD at some point.
His name was McPherson or something like that.
Poor bastard. Got there too late,
was already shot in the head.
WasnÕt wearing his
damn helmet.
Nothing I could do.
NoteÐ
notify McPhersonÕs wifeÐ
Monday, I need to send out a memo to all field officers.
ÒIf they are caught without helmets on, while on duty,
they will be fined.Ó
