    She came through my door like a velvet hurricane, eyes ablaze and a gun in her hand. I said, "Put that thing away, you're going to hurt my feelings". She said, "Your feelings are the last thing you need to worry about, Doc". That was the moment I fell in love...

      I was sitting at my desk, cigarette between my nicotine-stained fingers, smoke blinding me in one eye, when we walked through my office door like she owned the place. She stopped, put her hands on her hips, looked me over and said, "Are you him?"
      I said, "Yeah, I'm him - who are you?"
      "I'm Marielys Diane" she said, "Here to change your life."
      I thought for a moment. My life could sure use changing. "Sit down" I said. "Make yourself comfortable." So she did, and that was the beginning of the rest of my life.

    The bar's name was "Silver Bullet". It flashed a neon sign in the middle of a dirty dark street. This place opened three years ago and immediately became the abode of outcasts, broken and bored men, and some especially immodest women. Blue-collar pilgrims came to the Bullet every evening for a portion of liquid oblivion. The bartender named Chuck served amazingly bad swill, and the working slaves crushed by the tombstone of the day swallowed it, wincing, and asked for more with husky dead voices. Cigarette smoke veiled the room, mixed with a thick hum of voices and the strumming music on the radio. Good place, just dirty enough to be cozy.

      Me and my partner spent a night combing the streets of L.Lain '72. Someone said he'd be in a all night movie theater in the not so good part of town at 2 am . we were there alright , but so was the drunk behind us puking his guts up . my partner was half asleep , but even in that state he knew enough to lift his feet an let the flow go past unimpeded. The mug didn't show so when the floor was half dry we shoved off . the cold Grey dawn was trying to break , but it was a real weak try .

    It felt like the worst Monday morning. It was actually Thursday, but feelings don't use a calendar.

    Maybe it was just going to be one of those days. Maybe not. But then again maybe it was, and that was a risk I was just going to have to take.

When I finally move in to my own house I will decorate it like it's 50s.

      Absolutely - this era was very unique and indeed iconic. It really makes me sad that I did not get to live in that time period to experience it all by myself. I find 50s women to be much more attractive than women nowadays, women back then had real class, were probably more well spoken etc. This whole Noir / 30s-50s thing has become a major fetish for me :) enough of my babbling :)

    The elevator ride felt like an eternity, floor upon floor of ascending anxiety, awaiting the inevitable ding of the final destination. As the elevator went to the top I was getting to the bottom of this conspiracy that had rattled me to my very core... who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Why? Would their greed be the motivating factor? Or their desire to rob the chocolate chipped goodness from another? Either way, this elevator would bring me to my answers.
    The elevator ride stretched into eternity past every level, I'd been standing in this box for what felt like forever, and I had plenty of time to plan out my arrest of the cookie thief.
    It turns out the Elevator was broken, it wasn't actually moving, so I decided to ascend the stairs, which have proven more than once to be my mortal enemy. If every cookie stealing scumbag this city threw at me beat me down, trust stairs to finish me off. When I finally climbed every step to the Olympus that was the corrupt senator "Daddy" Cool's office, it was showtime, and the spotlight was on me.

      I steal cookies from the cookie jar because I was born with a silver cookie spoon in my mouth and it's my right and my privilege. Some people can take the cookies, some people can't. My father took cookies, as did his father before him; I'm not going to stop taking cookies out of other people's cookie jar just because some flat-footed, stair-climbing, gumshoe thinks I ought to. I'll be stealing cookies until the day I die and NO ONE WILL EVER STOP ME! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wait, who are you and what's that in your hand. Don't point that at me! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

My amazon delivery. It was exactly what I needed, a cheap fedora. But there was something not quite right. Chills down my spine told me my instinct felt it too. I took a swig of ice tea to set my nerves right and opened a new tab. A quick search and the first result led me to "10 hours of city rain."

    It was raining, it's always raining in this city, but the night I first saw her ... the rain was different. The rain brought wind like a bouncer with the voice of a brass section, shoving people indoors instead of kickin' them out. But tonight the rain tapped a high-temp Swing song on my window, no brass, setting the pace for passers-by on the street to get indoors. Except her. She defied the tempo. She cut through the rain with her umbrella like a knife. I could see her red dress hug her curves when she walked across the street, shining like a red beacon through the dark, right to my building's front door. I could tell right then and there that this ol' heart in my chest could still beat like a drum, head over heels in love and in no mood to hide it.
    I knew right then and there, this was going to be a hell of a case.

    I’ve been searching for months for something like this. “Noir Jazz” is such a specific genre that finding that Goldilocks sound feels impossible, until I found this video. It’s funny because I’ve always described it as “That ‘She walked through the door of my office on a rainy November evening, a rose in one hand and a smoking gun in the other’ kind of jazz.” I look to the comments and that’s exactly what I see. I am home.

    'Is this the part where you kill me?' I ask, and took a sip.
    The liquor tasted metallic, like blood.
    Her lips found my cheek. She planted a kiss.
    'No. I need you to come with me. I messed up.' She pushed the gun harder.

    The place smelt of late hours and failed auditions, a collection of those who had suffered this bleak city life for much too long, and those who still though it couldn't get worse. Maybe I was exposed, being out in public like this, but I figured most people would only remember a blurry image of me, seeing as they were all looking through the bottom of their glasses, the thick stench of cheap smokes blocking the rest of their senses. I slid quietly to the front of the bar, looking at the man behind it while he polished a glass with a rag that had probably seen more action than him. He looked over with his eyes, but spared the strain of moving his head, trying to ask me what I wanted without having to speak. I gazed along the rows of failed men that sat on either side of me, until I found one that looked particurlary unaware of his surroundings, his body half sloped forwards, looking 3 different shades of green, and a couple grey ones too. I gave the bartender a nod in the man's direction, and asked for what he'd had. A minute later, I was presented with a would-be fancy glass (Had it not been for the nicotine stains on the bottom), half filled with lemon juice and ice, the other with a whiskey that looked like it had spent longer under the counter than I had in bed, and both of us for none of the good reasons. "Well well.", I thought, bracing myself for impact, "Atleast everyone can afford the city's national dish." And with that hint of salt still stuck in my mind, I lifted my first glass that evening, wondering if I would be coming home in a taxi, or over the shoulder of another gangster...

    The office was as bleak as a loan shark's office could be, no color or pictures, just the smell of tobacco and a feeling of repressed guilt. He was reclining in his chair, feet on table, gun in plain sight and tobacco in his mouth. An all-seeing eye glinted through his hair, he wasn't an ordinary money counter. That was for damn sure. "I've got a job for you, Mr Harris." he said through the Tobacco. "What? interior decorating?" I asked back, I wasn't in the mood to shake down some punks today. "Nah. I need you to do something a bit more... unusual." he finally looked at me with both eyes, and what he told me shook me to my damn core.

    • @tomprice5990

      damn man that was a good continuation.
      He lifted his feet off his, probably thankful, table and said to me "I'm not hearing a no Mr Harris, and I don't really care if you give me a yes. I can get some other sap to do this for me, you were just the first guy in the pages, nothing special. Now tell me, are you gonna find her for me or not?" I looked into his cold, sleazy eyes. On any other day I'd have repeated my previous response but today? It wasn't like clients were rolling into my office nowadays anyway and I needed some money before I ended up on the dole. That taste of greasy sand turned to crude oil as I said "fine, what does she look like?" before spiting on his floor again.

      I ask this guy a simple request and what does he do? He spits on my floor! Twice for f*cks sake. Jesus, what a loser.
