Jake Randolph, Private Investigator Pt. 142
I got the address of Vic's warehouse from the doc and then turned back as I was leaving.
"You know, Doc, I actually kinda like you," I said with a smile.
"Well," he said, returning a smile as he motioned with his eyes toward his arms, still bound to the chair, "how about unstrapping me?"
"I said I like you, Doc. I didn't say I trusted you. I can't be sure that you wouldn't pick up the phone and make a call to old Vicky boy as soon as I leave. If I live, I'll come back and free you."

That could be a mistake, Jakey boy. The two goons or a housekeeper etc could come back and free the doc. You should at least cut his phone wires and demobilise his car.

Well, he'll be taking care of one of those concerns in the next drabble. But, as Jake pointed out a few drabbles ago, the doc knows he's already dead for what he's told Jake. As soon as he gets cut loose from that chair he'll be cutting out of town! Thanks for the input!
