Shogun Collab Bill's Side Part 5 With Richard Pickett -Taz- Poetry

.After Bill left the station, he made a pit stop down to the local diner, parked his car and hurried in to get some much needed chow. “ What’s up stranger? Haven’t seen your lanky frame in this fine dining establishment in forever” she said saracastically as she poured him a cup of old left over breakfast coffee. “Made this pot special just for you Bill, after I saw you crossing the street to come in here.” “Sure you did, Nette. I can tell by the grounds floating on top. I missed you too, he grinned. “I take it you had a good trip…welcome back cowboy .You want the usual steak and eggs?” She didn’t wait for his answer as she wrote something on the order pad, spun around and hollered out to the kitchen. “Dead cow..rare and chicken innards Charlie!” “You always make that sound so appetizing, Nette.” She smiled her welcome at him and headed off to grab another order. ” I’m comin’, I’m comin’, I ain’t your mother, ya know! Bill chowed down, left a tip and drove to the police horse stables to see his patrol partner. When he got there Gail, one of the stable grooms had Redneck on the cross ties lavishing him with attention that could only be given by someone who was dedicated to these trusty warm bloods. Redneck pricked his ears forward and whinnied a greeting to Bill before Gail knew he was there. “Hello Redneck ole buddy! What would you do without Gail spoiling the heck out of you here?” Bill scrubbed his forelock and patted his chest while thanking Gail for taking care of him while Bill was away. “ No problem Bill. Glad to do it. You know that. He’s my buddy too you know. Glad to see you’re back.” They exchanged pleasantries and Bill headed back to his apartment to get a some much needed rest. The next morning found Bill refreshed and chomping at the bit to get the scoop on Brick’s mystery murder case. He decided to give Brick a call early before he headed out.
