Quote: "BORN FATALE IS THE FEMME" FROM THE 2018 NOVEL THE PRAXIS CONTINUUM (A.GLASS 2018)
"Hippies..."
Robertson replies smiling.
Forster
chuckles.
"They're
half right and mostly wrong. It's crony capitalism and socialist
fusion.
Low interest rates and easy loans...And everyone is a winner."
Robertson
nods
in an agreeing manner
whilst checking
the rear
view
mirror,
as he turns onto the right hand lane
"...Mortgage
and loan fraud are spiking here at the moment, we got a new
department that is set up just for investigations. History doesn't
repeat..."
"...It
rhymes," Forster replies, as he looks up at the skyline seeing
a multilevel condominium being built on the outskirts of a Dallas
suburb
"You
remember that shit
hole
apartment block, three years back? The one where we got called out
to a few times for domestic disputes, drugs..."
"I
do, halfway house for Mexican drug dealers and prostitutes."
"That's
the one..." Robertson
looks briefly at his old friend.
"...Our destination."
"I
know it's a surprise. But, any hints?" Forster asks, as
Robertson
turns
left into one
of the side streets off
the main highway.
"Yeah,
one. It's
earmarked for demolition. Nobody in it, been vacant for six months.
Gonna run through a visual scenario with you which occurred over
a year
and half ago. Here we go..." They pull up along side a
derelict apartment block, a security fence has been set up around the
perimeter of the disused apartments,
yet the front gates are wide open. Robertson drives up into the once
open car park of the empty
apartment building. Parking the car so that its faces straight
in
line
with the three levels
of
shared balconies."
