Tax Money
Picture it, a smooth-looking man, hair starts getting grey, playing a game of black-jack in a casino.
He is called Mister Dice. Why? Because he is often at the casino (haha).
-- One day he is in a bar, hears two men arguing. They are Pike and Jack, shouting to each other and finally getting involved into a fight. Mr. Dice walks to the men, introduces himself being a detective and says that he's ready for them to check the matter out (about the fight). One of the men, Jack, almost directly admits to his gesture and hires Mr. Dice. Jack wants to know the truth about the death of a wealthy businessman.
-- A day later, Jack asks Dice what's new, but the only news Dice knows is, there was a murder.
-- Some days later, Jack asks Dice again for news, but Dice has the same info... there was another murder. Jack suspects that Pike has to be the murder. Dice wants to investigate that fact and so asks Jack to be patient.
-- The next day, Jack hears from Dice... another murder happened... Pike is dead. Dice tells Jack, that he knows some facts about the argument they where fighting about. (Pike and Jack know that there is a big amount of money hidden by a wealthy businessman, the man died a few weeks ago. Jack and Pike both suspecting each other knowing were it is, but they don’t know.)
Dice makes a proposition; He gets paid for his work and then leaves Jack alone with his 'unbelievable treasure hunting'. Jack pays Dice and than continues his own hunt.
-- After many asked questions Jack finds another lead, for the sixth time. He is in a small town. And suspicious as he became thru this hunting, because all of his leads ends to a dead end, he sees Dice in a bar. He walks to Dice and asks him what he's doing in a small town like this. He was just passing thru getting to Vegas, bla bla...
-- Jack stays at a motel, waiting for Dice to leave the town.
Then, after some questions around the town, he combines the puzzle peaces and knows where the money could be, behind the church in the same town. Digging his way to the green paper that should be buried right there, suddenly the local sheriff stands behind him, asking him what he thinks he is doing. “Archeological investigations” was not the proper answer the sheriff wanted to hear. So, the cop decides to make Jack stop digging. After that, the cop insists that Jack leaves the very same day.
-- When Jack was packed, driving in his car leaving the town, he gets a glimpse of the church. It was as if he saw someone digging. He turns his car and drives back to the church. The digger stops digging. Jack looks from inside the car amazed at the digger, it is Pike. After some lame excuses from Pike, Dice shows up, with a gun. Yes, he shoots Pike. Than Dice recommends that Jack continues digging.
-- So it turns out to be, that Dice is the killer of all the dead in this story, the first detective who’s the killer we are searching for.
-- how the ‘happy end’ ends, remains the secret... until we go to the cinema.
In the sequel to, "The Dark, Twisted, Tale of Charles Frumpkin", Charles Frumpkin has reentered society and begins hunting down the men that backstabbed him and cheated him. Work In Progress. Full plot coming soon
Missing Children
I don’t know, but this is just my opinion. I don’t believe there is enough effort put forth to
finding the missing children in American. I know, I was hearing about it just a little tiny bit when I was growing up in the 1950s. I know, it was going on a long time before I was born and I heard a little tiny bit about that as well. I traveled all over the U.S. in the 1970s, 80s and 90s and seen pictures hanging on billboards in truck stops and restaurants up and down the interstates, These pictures, most were girls, had notes attached to them, in most cases from mothers, that would break the heart of anyone, parent or not. Later trucking companies would put pictures on the back of there trailers. Then we began to see them on milk cartons. Now we hardly ever see either one and can’t find them posted on billboards anywhere. However, one can find missing children posted on the internet, by a number of websites. There is a T.V. show called “Missing” on one of the cable channels one can find now and then by accident. John Walsh will occasionally feature a missing child on his show but not enough. There are literally 1,000s of children missing and not many of them are being found. While some are taken by a parent without custody and some cases has been proven to be better off with them. What is happening to all the others and why is there so little being done. A lot could be said and done about the realty of it, prevention of it, and the success of finding a child. I know, this is not entertaining enough for some, but about as realty as one can ask for.
In-complete
Some people do have all the luck in the world. Well, this boy, called Stewart, has his problems of his own. He lost his parents, lost his brother, his uncle and ante. He never knew his grandparents. He sometimes has confrontations with aggressive students at school, who didn’t quit figured out why they are at school.
--- But mostly it hurts him to see the homeless people sleeping in the bushes, when he delivers the morning-papers.
--- At one of those days, just when he asks himself, why the hell he always has to see the suffering of so many lives on Earth, he walks out of the mall and almost walks against a girl. The girl screams “Don’t touch me, you freak.” He stops, looks at her annoyed, then repeats his question (about the suffering), but this time he says it out loud. While he speaks out his ‘depression’, the girl looked at his eyes for a moment and than turn away from him. Then he also turns away and walks on.
--- The next day he wants to deliver a story at the local newspaper. He gets the opportunity to talk with a writer. And when he starts to talk about ‘the unlucky people’, the girl from the day before, stands behind him, not knowing he is the same boy (because she doesn’t see his face yet). Attracted to his lovely words of humanity, she gets curious, and waits to the end of that conversation. The writer walks away, Stewart turns a bit and she looks at him. After a moment of doubt he almost wants to walk away, but she starts to talk to him, saying that he spoke some noble words. She introduces herself with “Hi, I am In”. “Into what?” he asks. This makes the start of those two some confusing, but they’ll manage.
--- Some moment later they are talking in a simple restaurant, drinking some coffee or thee. Stewart tells In about the suffering of lots of people and that he wants to help, but can’t figure out in what way he could do that. Then she says, she is the daughter of a well fortunate businessman and wants to take a risk to talk about this with her father. After Stewart talks about some negative pointers about wealthy people, he admits at last to her positive commentary at every negative point he adds. But they first have to work this ‘proposal’ out, he says, to make it a successful one.
--- After some days Stewart is introduced to In’s father, Jim. Although Jim likes the sound of that idea, he refuses to make the step to help the teenagers. Telling In, Stewart knew that it wouldn’t happen, he leaves them. She loved to see Stewart’s dream come thru, so she follows him to tell him so. But they both are sure, it would be better for her to stay at her father’s.
--- The next day, Stewart talks with the writer at the newspaper’s desk, to ask if there’s a chance to place his idea in the papers. But, it’s a big negative. So, with a long face, he slowly walks out of the newspaper’s building. Just before he walks outside, thru the window, he sees Jim (In’s father) talking to another man, his assistant Sam. Behind Jim, a man with a long cote and a beard, very focused on Jim. He looks therefore suspicious for Stewart. Stewart, walking thru the door, noticed that the man looks at a van that is slowly approaching. Stewart shouts to Jim: “Hey Jim, watch out! Behind you!” and points to the bearded man behind him. Because of the sudden disturbance, Jim quickly hops to Stewart and both seeing the confused bearded man jumping in the van, driving away with spinning wheels. Stewart looks at Sam and noticed him for a moment being disappointed. For now, Jim is convinced that Stewart has saved his live. So this incident lets Jim see, that Stewart could use some help with his ‘story’ and ‘help for the unfortunate’, Stewart thinks. However, Jim rather see his account growing, instead of shrinking. So he says: “Thanks kid…”, taps him on his shoulder and says, “… I’ll give In your greetings.”, and walks with Sam into the building.
Some days later, Stewart wants to start distributing the newspapers, but looks at the front page “Kidnapped businessman dead” and beneath it is a picture of Jim. Shocked and remembering the incident of the first kidnap attempt, at noon he goes to the house of In. Arriving at In’s house, a police car blocks the driveway.
At the front door a cop tells him to go away, but from inside someone looks thru the window (buy moving the curtains a bit aside) and a moment later the front door opens. While Stewart was slowly walking away (with his back to the door), he heard a man shouting to the police: “Get him, he’s one of the accomplices”. The unfortunate and sadly In was upstairs, heard the shouting outside and therefore looks thru the window. Recognizing and seeing Stewart getting handcuffs, she runs outside to talk with Stewart. The only thing Stewart whispers to her (looking at Sam): “I wouldn’t trust that man, because he was at the first failed kidnap.”
--- The next day she went to the police station to talk to Stewart. She is convinced Stewart is innocent and bails him out. After that they hired a P.I. (maybe a small part for Monk?) to hunt for the real offenders, including Sam.
After some loose tracks, the P.I. at last has proved Sam is guilty. Both In and Stewart worked further on a concept to get the unfortunates off the streets and therefore Stewart’s goal had been made possible.
--- His incompleteness has been made complete by In.
