It took only a few moments for the coppers to funnel into the depot. A few of the officers that I knew had quite a look of surprise on their faces while a few others took it as business as usual. It was already clear that the room was divided. My heart sank when the first suit I saw was Detective Greene walking through that … Continue reading Detective Darby #6 – The Arrest
Baby Log 4:01am: I am not quite ready to start the day, but I AM ready to get out of this lonely hellhole Beard and Incubator call a crib.

Walt and I were petrified as we continued to stare into the trunk of that taxi.

Upon arrival, I sweetly let her know her (adorable) playmate is ready to begin the day by … Continue reading The Twincess Diaries: Cora Edition

It appears that a hot bath cured my ailments except for my incessant need for a shave. Honestly, I didn’t care anymore, but I hadn’t given up on my clientele, not even the cat lovers. This shave would be strictly for business. … Continue reading Detective Darby #3 – The Favor
