Frank Merriman, P.I.

C H A P T E R 15

When Trigger Happy Frank returns to San Diego, his wife and son deal with the mob.

In January 2018, Detective and Mrs. Merriman will find M. Dominick Klavin chasing as many gangsters as possible, according to his Merriman Investigations partner Laser Beam Bean. In any investigation, every one else is just a mafia-oriented goon.

"Prepare for a mudslide," Frank tells his wife and son - and for bad reason. Ha!

"Where are we going?" asks Mrs. Merriman.

"Watch out for the mudslide - get ready!"

"Uh, oh!" the Merrimans yell.

As the mudslide begins, Trigger Happy Frank races to Dead Man's Curve in order to avoid a mudslide.

When the residents throughout Southern California evacuate, mud slides around the corner.

"Are we ready to solve the conspiracy concerning California Federal Mafia boss Paul Hatfield?" Frank interrogates.

"Paul Hatfield still is in bad luck, again," answers Scott.

"Damn it!" Mrs. Merriman quells.

"Sen. Barrington is defeating mafia deception in SoCal," says Frank.

Then Mrs. Merriman asks repeatedly, "What now?"

"Frank!" California Highway Patrol Deputy Rob Knitzer answers via 2-way radio. "There are more motorists evacuating from the mudslide! Prepare for a deathly disaster... be prepared for worse. 

"A slimy patch of mud will cover most of Los Angeles."

"When the California mob arrives," Frank convinces his wife and son, "just convince Wade the Blade the California Federal Mafia hires LAPD rookie enforcement officers to chase those dumb hoodlums carrying billions of pounds of meth, cocaine and other addictive drugs."

"What am I saying?" Frank interrogates again.

"You, Frank," recalls Deputy Rob, "will carry your revolver hand gun and zap Paul Hatfield and the notorious M. Dominick Klavin when you pull the trigger! Understood?"

Trigger Happy Frank answers, "Nice. I'll talk to you sometime in 2018."

He is chasing a mudslide - and, a few minutes therefore, going after the members of the mob. In retrospect, Frank is cleaning up the California Federal Mafia as fast as he can search for all of the members of the gangster elite. Well, absolutely. As Wade the Blade waits for Frank and his wife - as expected - the Merriman Investigations team will counter-investigate who will be franked by him and his crack team of law enforcers - and who will be able to tackle the most baffling case in the Los Angeles area.

"I'd call Simon, the negotiating investigative crusader at Merriman Investigations, only if there are some crimes about to be solved," says Trigger Happy Frank.

"No, don't dial anyone," Mrs. Merriman warns.

Frank tells his wife, "I am not ready for the next investigatkion."

Yes, you are..."

"A dumb criminal chaser," Frank shouts.

"Simon and I will help my son trace the evivence the California Federal Mafia leaves behind - exactly.

"This is what Scott and I go after the mob.

"Dare to seek truth and justice the Merriman Investigations way," quells Frank. "For purposes of enforcement, the Merriman Investigations team is following me in the search for Paul Hatfield of the California Federal Mafia... and all of us Merrimans are involved in interrogating ridicously."

"You have the power to fight organized crime!" says Mrs. Merriman.

"I convince you and Scott to hunt down Mr. Hatfield," says Frank, "before Mr. Hatfield comes to kill us!"

"What will happen next?" asks Mrs. Merriman.

"Combat organized federal mafia violence in L.A."

"Frank," Mrs. Merriman replies, "Declare justice, or Wade the Blade comes to hunt me to a pulp!"

"Justice is power," Trigger Happy Frank declares.

Let me find my partner in crime, Wade the Blade, and remind me to justice attribution."

                                                                                                                                                                                                   Meanwhile, the following day later, Trigger Happy Frank drives his convertible luxury sports coupe to Universal City and tours Universal Studios Hollywood. While checking out a guest suite at the Sheraton Universal, he asks the matre d', Dennis Danforth, "Which mafia mastermind shall I murder in your hotel?"

"Go find Paul Hatfield now before the California mob gets away."

"Prepare for executive in 2020," Frank declares again.

"You shall be persecuted...," says Danforth.

"No way," says Frank.

"I dare you to be franked, Dennis, when it comes to solving the case of Paul Hatfield."
