Scrivenings of the King-Beyond-The-Wall

New Orleans #3

It’s often been said that just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean someone isn’t out to get you, and that’s most certainly the case with my clientele. As a private investigator, I’m often the one hired to follow people around, and my business is a growth industry. I know how many of us are lurking around in the shadows and parked cars across the street, just waiting and watching. Reporting back to our financiers whatever information they want to know about you. It may be a little icky, but it’s a living. And look at it this way; if you aren’t doing anything wrong, we won’t find anything, right?

What are you doing?
Would your family approve?—
I’ll be here watching
