Conversation 8: Overheard
by Tayla

Overheard in the seventh floor men's room of the Cascade Police Department.

"So, I hear he's still at the Academy."

"I thought he would have dropped out by now. It's not like he's real cop material."

"Apparently his instructors think he is."

"He's probably blowing 'em."

"You think?"

"He hung out here for three years and no one ever kicked his ass out. Why do you think that was?"

"You mean . . . he was doing that here?"

"Why do you think Banks let him stay? I'll bet he was blowing Ellison and Banks. Hell he might have been blowing the Chief too. Hell that's probably how he got into the Academy."

"How do you know? That he's putting out, I mean?"

"I just heard Captain Wilkins talking about it to Jennings. Their sons are at the Academy now, too."

"Man, I would not want to be in his shoes when Ellison finds out his little boy toy is putting out for his instructors."

"Yeah, it's one thing to share with your Captain and the Chief. But he's not gonna want to share with strangers."

"Maybe Ellison will kick his butt out of town. Save us the trouble."

"But what do we do about Ellison?"

"We don't have to do anything about Ellison. He's a good cop. And once that hippie faggot is out of his life, he'll go back to women."

"Let's hope so. I just don't understand how a man like Ellison went gay in the first place."



Henri Brown left the men's room where the two Homicide Detectives were talking. He didn't think they had seen him. This was real trouble. He needed to find Ellison. Fast.
