As i prepared to hit the streets i turned my collar up in a futile attempt to stop the rain running down my neck.

Things were tough - i han't had a case in ages. It had seemed that the rain was keeping the kooks inside.
I had even worn the soles of my shoes down walking the streets looking for clients and got no where.

I tried to light a cigarette, but the rain pooled over from the brim of my hat making the white coffin nail too wet to light.

Throwing the useless cigarette away in frustration i knew things would pick up soon... the rain might keep the kooks inside, but it also meant those same kooks would get cabin fever and clients would once again be knocking on my door...

Finally, I woke up. I had no idea what happened, where I was, or even what day it was.

I found out I was comatose for a full week! I was in pain, still clenching my abdomen from my bullet wound. Now, I had a case. If everything went well, I was out of the hospital within the week. If not, I may not be out at all.

A week finally passed. A long week, of hard beds and cafeteria food. I cook better than that stuff! At least what I cook doesn't poison you, unless I want it to. (Muhahaha!!!)

Now, I get to find out who shot me. It was neat seeing myself on the news! The other benefit was that I found out a little bit of what the cops found out, without having to check with them.

The news said the cops suspected Pauline Davison, a New York Jill-of-all-trades. Prostitution, drug dealing, illegal arms dealing, grand theft auto---essentially, if it's a crime, Pauline has committed it.

The only type NOT on her record was assault. We're talking murder, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, etc. Those, she doesn't have, so, why cops connect her to the crime baffles me. Of course, most of the things cops do baffle me!

Then, I felt those terrible electric paddles. Once. Twice. A third time. It stung horribly, but I heard my beeper start up again. At least I wasn't dead.

Defribrillators were not tested/used on humans until 1953. These posts are supose to be era specfic.

This guy must have been in a time machine.

Spiced it up anyway. Admit it, this thread was dull. D-U-L-L :-)

I didn't think about that either, though, thanks for the info. I didn't think about looking it up. :-)
