Thursday's Child: A Detective Thursday Mystery
Jolie Mason
Who is she?
Hayden Thursday is young to be a detective, that’s who. She’s
the youngest decorated detective in twenty years on the Met PD.
Who am I? I’m her partner.
You can call me Ace, if you know what’s good for you.
Hayden was assigned to me after my partner of more than
twenty years walked into the wrong end of a bangers knife. It was a routine
call, if you understood that back in those days the bangers ran the lower
boroughs. Guns were impossible to get,
so they carried knives and swords, if you can believe that.
The war took much longer to recover from than anyone could
have guessed and crime was a given. Cops died everyday back then. You got kinda
hardened to it, until it was your partner.
An excerpt:
I started drinking. Then one day, Chief calls me in and
points at this school girl out his office window and says, “Meet your new
partner.” Well, I reacted just as you’d expect me to.; denial, anger,
bargaining, depression and acceptance.
Once it became clear that I either took the newbie or filled
out my retirement packet, I accepted it. I’ve never regretted once. I may act
like I do sometimes, but Hayden needs the pressure.
See, I know her, and she knows me. She needs the push and
pull. She needs someone herding her toward the finish line or she gets lost in
the details. I needed someone to care about enough to put down a bottle.
Anyway, we caught a case; A local crime boss was smuggling
women out to the badlands from a warehouse. His niece found out, and she turned
on the family. It was a mess.
Hayden and I barely got there in time to get Mary out of that
burning warehouse. We did it, and we made the case. We got the bad guy, and I
found the love of my life.
