Det. Lt. Harvey Plains had it with police work in Fairfield, Texas. He had to get away, but any nearby state was the same. Cpt. Vernor was just leaving the station, after telling Harve that the judge threw out his case against Oswald and Gene Malcolm.
That was proven ten times over! They killed Jorge and Sylvia Gomez in as heinous a way as he had ever come across!
The Malcolms were rich rednecks. The Gomez family was Latino. He should have known.
He sighed and e-mailed Carter Amos, a friend who was on a long vacation in the Caribbean. He got a reply in less than two minutes.
Hi, Harve – Still want to get the hell out of the rat race there? Maybe work on something a lot different?
Come to Tinta Verde Island! This is right down your line! It could lead to you having a permanent job in Heaven!
He thought about it, sent his reply, and started writing his resignation. This time, he was going through with it.
