Our Man in Europe, dave delacroix, Menu for Murder, Detective DnD, Kids lost and Found... on the Case. Episode 29. DEAD CALAMARI.



Not that he was just famous for Film Noir Cult hits like THE MAN WHO FUCKED UP, a Romance, or his...now swan-song, THE MAN WHO really FUCKED UP, a thriller, the Hollywood Bungalow bloodbath debacle was at first LOADED with Commas. CONNAN de CORMAN, avante-garde Film Director was butchered!  As for the Crime scene...the Hollywierd Body Bags, boys in blue, had trampled over the Crime scene. Snappy Wiestrom from the L.A. Times somehow gained entrance...slip a 5 for a dive, no questions asked... and by the time now-Lieutenant . ex-Sgt Nalty arrived on the scene...with a retirement Real Estate future in mind, had to give several evasive interviews to the gathering Paparazzi with Lights flashing on Bel-Air crescents and a crowding number of Hired Help poking round for gossip for their Gilded Masters, the immediate neighbors.
Finally, entering the Bungalow Crime scene, Lt. Nalty was deflated, looking like a Jesuit who-d lost his Rosary. Maybe because retirement was ON the horizon, maybe he-d just had his fill of Homicide blood and guts! ...A REAL dude knows when to ask for a helping hand...wishing I woz back in NYC where we just shoot the bastards, he reached out. Old Pal. And DnD, The KIDS Lost and found Detective dude came a-running.
After an hour or so DnD gave it to Nalty real straight.... The basement-s full of Happy-Meals refuge. If you dig under I suspect you-ll find what we NEVER want to find. There-s gonna be a kid or 2 roaming the L.A. streets looking frazzled. But conclusively there-s SOME folks covered in retribution blood, leastways for an hour or two.  Its an Octopus of a gruesome case. There are EIGHT ways you can proceed here, Nalty. If you want closure I-d say Dead Calamari. Folks rescued and, maybe not Legal, but took care of their Own! A Homicide committed by Person or Persons unknown...U gonna be OK facing the Media...There-s a single Malt with your name on it awaiting you at my Hooch!
Outside, over head, the LAPD Chopper, searchlight-wavering, made silent wings in a dark sky.
