Chapter 48

Well, the guessing is over. Grim is becoming a police officer. Interestingly, at least to me, is how some people are unhappy about this. Cops are bad, cops are evil, cops are [fill in the blank.] Sorry, I disagree. As the saying went when I was a kid, if you don’t like the cops, next time you get robbed, call a hippie. (That probably dates me; I turn 70 in November.)

Several readers have been wishing that Grim goes into politics or law. They are looking for Grim to become a larger-than-life national leader of some sort and solve all sorts of problems facing the country. Sorry, this is a story about a young man trying to figure out his life and find his place in the world, something that all of us have to do at some point.

I need to do a major shout-out to one of my editors. I couldn’t have written Book 3 without the assistance of grynslvr2, a veteran police officer in Texas. Yeah, I know Texas is not Georgia, but as you will learn in Book 3, that isn’t all that important. I repeat, I couldn’t have written this without his constant advice and editing. Any errors are mine and mine alone.
