Just Common

My

Hi all, just little fun here then next time we get back ta the story. Need ta get my mind straight. Gots a little warped from that killer I was chasin. Yep My, just wanted tell ya few thins about Doc.

First off, Ranger HQ ya know that place they put me an Doc tagether. Told me, he finished first in his class, probably the best at what he does. Not only does he understands the mind, but the whole body. He helped out York City Rangers, find what the papers called the Reaper or the Butcher. That one killed ten times in twelve days. Didn't want go inta this right off. Hoped ta show Doc was smart an a good detective. Don't know ifin I done that, figured best tell ya.

Folks Doc is a touch strange with habits an the way he dresses. Always looks like he is a attendin a large wealthy party or funeral. Drinks those martinis his glasses have no arms they just rest on his nose. Not fat but rather short an stout fella, has a loud belly laugh, the type ya know that come from deep in stomach an heart.

Salt an pepper hair an beard, well-trimmed talks slow, but well thought out ta what he wants ta say. Not like he can't find the words. I've become great friends with Doc. He can make ya laugh, is good company on a ride. Never complains least ways not much, or more than myself.

Doc a smile then wink at ya, ifin ya catch him off on his thoughts. Doc calls it his down time, hell middle a ride his face just looks, well like he is gone. Doc went some where's, like hell he just left me a spell. Doc told me, Common I just get ta thinkin, then I am just off. I still see thins around me, but the sound is low. I see all, but hear almost nothin.

Doc drinks three martinis a day, one midday, one after supper, an one befer bed. Now he may have more, seen that a few times. Doc say I limit myself, potato liquor an vermouth are hard ta find. When Doc works, he talks ta himself, holds entire conversations with himself.

Folks this is truth now, Doc ask himself a question then answer it, think some then ifin they is more explain ta his self why. We all talk ta ourselves just, Doc is a master at it. Ifin he don't know the answer, why they is total conversation, like two different people are talkin out the problem. Lan sakes, that is the most uncommon thin ya ever saw, just bein funny folks. It is a touch strange though ain't it. Well that is all, remember next time we continue on with this here mystery.
