We’re almost there. It’s almost June and Roy is almost moved into his new house, so he’s settling back into his editor shoes. I’m excited for him, and for the future of the PRL Serials. We have a new headquarters in SC and I have a feeling that we’ll be dusting off the website soon. Personally, I want Roy to get back to making art work and those PDFs, and we should be getting that soon.
Today, enjoy this snippet from Rebel Max’s Old Man Young Issue 8. Max has been in transition as well, but you probably won’t get to read about that for a while, he’s still presenting his investigation into the identity of V.I.V. and he has so much cool stuff to share about that.
The summer is so close that I’m starting to sweat just walking, it should be a hot one this year. We’ll see you back here before you know it!
Excerpt from Old Man Young and the Bronx Avenger Issue 8 – Yuri James is Alive and Well
by Maxwell Roberson
Yuri had no idea about the body that was found with IDs that had his name but the victim’s picture, he has been focused on cementing control of the drug syndicate in TN, NC, and SC; and he’s been taunting Detective Young. Now, in the interrogation room, Young questions him about the IDs and Yuri just laughs, “I bet you got excited when you thought it was me?”
“I don’t want you dead, son, dead is too permanent for you.” Young says smiling. “I want you to rot in jail like all the other boys whose life you ruin.”
Yuri rolls his eyes, “What kind of sense that make? An officer of the law should be all about rehabilitation, ain’t that what the system you serve supposed to stand for? But nah, it ain’t really about that is it? You stackin money just like me, using the same boys you claim you want justice for to fill up your retirement account. You are close to retirement right? Or is that just the stress making you look 75?”
“Just tell me what you know.”
Yuri shrugs, “Obviously I don’t know nothing about who killed that boy. Why would I leave my IDs on him? I ain’t stupid, or you ain’t figured that out by now?”
“For a smart man, you living your life in a dumb way.”
“This how you get people to help you? Insult them?”
“Usually,” Young says, “and you’re gonna tell me something. Just cause I can’t arrest you for the stuff I know you’re doing but can’t prove, don’t mean I can’t hurt you in your wallet. Trust me son, I got the full resources of the KPD at my disposal and we’ll be on those boys on the corner tighter than a stocking if I say so.”
