Pele’s Prerogative (Part Eleven) by Albert Tucher
After four years on the job Jenny knew how to tune the radio out until it said something she needed to hear. This time Dispatch was patching Patsy through. “Got a possible on that BOLO.”. Patsy was back in Hilo too, now that the brass had no need to camouflage Jenny’s exile to Kona. […]
Pele’s Prerogative (Part Ten) by Albert Tucher
“You got my guns?” Jenny felt stupid for the repetition, but it was unlike Nate to get results so efficiently. “Well, I don’t have them on me.” That was more like it. “This friend of mine thinks he’s gonna get paid.” “How?” “Says he’s got two nine-mills. He’s gonna keep one and sell the other […]
