“May I come in, Mr. Collins?” he asked.
“Please.”
After a smattering of ill-fitting pleasantries, he got to the point.
“Your 100 words blog, it’s interesting, the most popular tag is murder.”
“Murder fascinates me. In the theoretical sense.”
“And, as you know, six residents in the neighborhood have been murdered in the last three months. All in precisely the same fashion as depicted in your stories.”

Recently, Officer Hanson spent most of his days seething. It seemed almost every cop in the city was on the take, whether for the mob or the corporate executives. It was giving him and the entire department a bad name.
With all the internal affairs investigations, it was becoming impossible to write a simple traffic citation without getting hauled before the citizen’s review board.
Hanson prided himself on being a by the book cop. Sure, he might kidnap the occasional tourist and murder them in cold blood, but that was on his own time.
Maybe it was time for retirement.
