The Eternal Night #46

I wondered if he was trying to intimidate me. He'd need a lot more moxie than he could buy to intimidate me.

It was getting pathetic so I finally said, "So, what is it that you need a detective for?"

He was still looking at me. I was about to get up and leave when Sperry finally broke his silence.

"Mason is under contract. I basically own his ass so, even though I don't trust him, I know he'll keep shtum to save his job. But you I don't know."

"You want references?" I asked and Sperry laughed out loud...

    Wonder if Sperry is any relation to Elmer Sperry’s family?

    I had to look him up because I'd never heard of him. I wasn't even sure that was a real surname. I thought of Perry first but that didn't sound quite right so I added an S at the beginning. It's nice to find out it was an actual name.
