Well, that no good uncarin brother, made me ill ta start. This is the way it went folks, my temper an all! Tell that fool, ta sit! Be ready ta answer some questions, an wasn't in no mood fer out right half truths nor lies! Best answer me with the truth, or might just kick the truth out a him!

I asks, just who is this Mister Jacko? How did ya meet this person? Tell me! Ya blame foolish boy! Where in hell is yar sister! Ranger, Mister Jacko came ta me, after a few hands, he had deep pockets. He just won over two hundred Washington. He asks ifin I new couple young ladies ta choose from. Fer a relaxing couple days of fun, maybe a turn in the sheets. What ya get in return?

Ranger gots three Jefferson, ifin I found a lady he liked, well I'd get, two Washington fer it. Ranger ain't never had that much trinkets in my life! Probably never see that much again! Besides, Mister Jacko he asked this befer. Last year I think it was. Only made two Jefferson though. Pay is better this time.

Again! Where is Norma? I won't asks again! I don't know where she is, besides ain't my sister's keeper! Now am I Ranger! Folks! That is exactly how he put it! Folks! I jumped from my chair, threw the table over! Grabbed that ill headed fool, by the shirt an pulled him close ta my face! Shook him, yelled ya blame fool I know my hot breath an spit must hit his face! I just soon beat it out a ya! Where does this Jacko live? I scream yar sister could be in danger! Why I could hold ya accountable fer it! That mean the death penalty son! I'd just love to blow yar damn brains out! Folks I was shakin like a mad man! Doc was sayin Common, ya don't need ta harm the man!

I shouted best step away Doc! I ain't in the mood! This one a talk! Reggie I shout, where is this Jacko! Folks I pushed him away an gut punched him! Now speak! Folks I was near kickin him till he talked!

Reginald gulped air in like, one that just had wind knocked from him. He say, I ain't been there. Last time he was at number 50 Harbor Way, an closed up Import office! Ranger, I truly don't know where Norma is! That's all I know about Mister Jacko I swear Ranger! Folks about that time, the Constable showed. Guess the Gamblin House sent fer him. Told him ta hold this one, suspect of helpin a murderer. Reginald shouted suspect of helpin a murderer? I ain't helped no murderer!

Folks, number 50 Harbor Way, is three blocks south a us. Me an Doc headed that way! On foot! Didn't think Doc had it in him ta keep up! Well he stayed with me, folks I was out a breath, but I kept my stride up! Miss Norma, I was hopin was still alive! Hell I knew better than ta hope that! Still I needed hope folks! Folks two doors befer number 50, why I slowed held Doc back. Tell Doc best get that pistol I let ya barie. Slow an easy, I get the door open! Ya follow just behind me move ta my left when we go in! Doc nodded folks we took slow steady steps ta that door. Catching up with our breaths.

Folks the windows were covered with boards, the door I kicked open! I ran in moved right, Doc behind me ta my left! I shouted Ranger Common Howard! Best not move an get those hands up! Ranger Howard speakin! Folks my whole body was tense ready ta jump at what may come! Doc shouted, Common think we are ta late!

Folks, I cried like a child. The one chance I may a had! The one chance ta help! I was ta damn late! Sam White Hell! Folks besides the blood the bucket a insides he decided ta take out! Poor Miss Norma looked ta be sleepin. She was on her right side legs pulled up ta her stomach right arm under her legs, her left arm lay on  her legs. Clothes on a table that was clean no blood on it or the clothes.

Folks they was writin on the wall, what looks like blood.

Till the City Rangers an the Constable gets here! I am off ta see Miss Virginia Mosser. We gots ta find Hellen! I won't have another die because, a me!

Folks I stopped a cab, shouted ta get me ta the Mosser place. He didn't even give me a funny look. He just nodded an we were off, folks I shouted out the window, best move like the wind! Don't care what laws ya break get me ta the Mosser place now! I heard the reins snap and a shout a get up! Folks that carriage swayed an bounced, with every bump an turn! Folks I chewed on my pipe, the ride ta rough ta pack it! Again I shouted faster driver! Hurry life depends on it! Folks it was like a face down! My hands were sweatin my neck was wet!

I felt tingle down my spine! Folks I needed ta hurry! I knew he couldn't of got Miss Hellen more than hour ago! He was close, so damn close! I was in a panic, I  needed ta calm myself an be ready! Think this out, Atlanta folks. What does this have ta do with Atlanta? Why does Miss Virginia Mosser look so familiar? Sam White Hell! Hurry driver hurry!

Driver pointed at the house just ta my right. Folks I ran, turned shouted, stay put driver! May need yar cab again! Folks I beat on that door no answer! I pulled my 36 hit it with the grip! Shouted Ranger! Open the damn door! Open up Ranger Howard!

Folks was about ready ta kick that door open! When the Servant opened the door. I say Miss Mosser I need ta see her now! Matter of urgency! Ranger Miss Mosser left fer Orleans, I stayed on ta close the place up. She left yesterday. Tell me does the Mosser's have a vacant office or offices in the Harbor District?
