"If I hand you my driver's license, does that make you Sean McGhee?"

Rudy stared at him a moment. "Okay, I see what you're saying, but for the rest, you just told us it would be a couple of weeks."

"I said at least a few weeks. I also said it could take months, but I guess you didn't hear that part." Sean sighed. "Mayor, I suggest in the future, you let me talk to the press about ongoing investigations. If they choose to, they can make us both look like idiots because we can't get our stories straight."

"The people are going to want reassurance that—"

"How about we catch the guy that did it and reassure them that way?" Sean interrupted. "You're making that harder for me to do."

Rudy glared at Sean a moment then softened. "Okay, you're right. I messed up. Just try to get this resolved as fast as you can."

I know that southern small. Towns have. Limited budgets for various service Greyson provide, as such Swan new salary could be any more than he was making in Biosron. Probably less..

{Excellent first chapter, snappy, no excess and set everything and everyone involved up nicely, although I can’t help feeling I’ve met Mayor Rudy before, Amity Island back in the 70’s maybe? Definitely the same attitude and fashion sense…..}
