and Adam good luck with that.
Finally I would like to offer a bit more substantial help to those of you out there. As stories go, its not a bad one, but its certainly got a happy ending.
Well, with all the crap that went on here in town, and here at the station. We needed toclean up and take inventory, that even meant cleaning out the basement.
Well, after a week, my one deputy comes to me this morning and tels me about a safe that was in the store room down there. Hell I never noticed it before so we had it opened. I couldn't believe what we found.
Turns out during the 20' & 30"s there used to be a whiskey mill just oustside of town and smugglers were running whiskey to and from Canada. It was also getting shipped to Chicago with guess who's signature on the receipts. Well the log books alone might be worth something, but we also found, oh get ready for this, half a dozen land titles (taken from the whiskey smugglers), half million in cash (in a leather satchel), plus 12 bars of unstamped gold, and unclaimed barers bonds. There was also an autographed Tommy Gun signed by Al himself. Go figure.
I damn near had a heart attack on the spot. Here Geraldo went and opened the wrong vault (lol).
Well of course it all belongs to us here at the station house now, it comes to about 2.5 million without the land titles. Im keepin' the tommy gun for myself. So I want to offer a lil' holiday cheer by sending the following "gifts" to the following people:
1) Bert - thanks for the grenades
and all ya help. $200,000 and a land title for 10 acres (its got itself a nice river). Ok, and the signed Tommy Gun.
2) Crosshairs, Ill be bring ya more than bee when I come to help ya out, like $200,000 and a land title.
3) To Fate, where ever ya are, thanks for the "package" without it The Unnamable may have won that one. To you I give $200,000 and a land title too. (a nice one that overlooks the lake).
4) To KT....you are the man. Since ya got a family to support, Im giving ya $500,000. Put it towards your kid's college fund.
5) to Eric...where ever you are...heres $200,000 to help you out. Maybe you can get a new car instead of that Gremlin ya got.
6) to Dante...$200,000 and your shirt back, I got it from the cleaners last Friday.
7) To Captn. Claymore (thats you Greydawn $200,000 to help ya along.
To Celeste, where ever you are, heres $200,000 and a land title (so you always have someplace to call home).
9) To Shades and Adamm, you guys a re pretty well off, but to each of ya I give that orb thing, and $50,000 each.
10) Finally to Ron, who I know is out there. I know you got family problems, so heres $500,000 and a land title. I know that you can use them both.
Well thats it. Im back to square one. Why give it all away, cause without you guys (& Celeste) I wouldn't have a town left. Besides, I neve had it to begin with, so not havin i now don't bother me none now either. Sides, you all deserve it. Expect your cashiers checks in the mail (so to speak) by Friday.
Happy to Help out, and keep huntin'.
