The Eternal Night #168

"Jim, is there anyone in the San Francisco PD that you trust? I mean really trust?"

There was silence on the line and then Harrigan responded, "Yeah, Detective Chet Lyman."

"Is he vice?" I asked. A lot of vice cops took kickbacks to look the other way.

"No, homicide. What's going on, Jake?"

"I'm up in San Francisco. I'm in a bit of a jam."

Another round of silence. "Jake, are you detecting again?"

"No, Jim. I'm just trying to help someone out and I've stumbled into a big mess."

"Your whole life is a series of stumbles and messes."
