Edison Page #5

Jack, when did you start referring

to yourself as an inanimate object?

You run a community weekly Moses

and I'll always have time for you

but now that time is up.

Mr. Pollack.

Mr. Reigert. Mr. Wallace.

These aren't the good old days,

Moses.

They never were, Jack.

- Why wouldn't you give him

- Huh-uh.

- if You were to just

- Not now.

Ashford doesn't come here easily.

He didn't have anything

specific or actual either.

Ignore it.

I'm not insulting Tilman with this.

Yeah, it's Jack.

Can you come on over?

- Why weren't you more specific?

- You have a source to protect.

I was that vague, you fired me.

Do you know how

pervasive this is?

Are you think they're involved?

I don't know who's involved,

and neither do you.

Than why did we

even come here?

Levon Wallace,

city's best investigator.

If the story holds up

he'll confirm it.

What do we do now?

I publish coupons.

You should look for a job.

- Mr. Ashford

- Look, kid.

You've got a story, access to the

D.A. and his best investigator.

If you can't make a career of that

you don't belong in this business.

Mr. Ashford.

Stop the Mister. Okay?

I'm outta this game.

And your late night visits irk me.

If Wallace confirms your story,

then you have to put the question

to Tilman, Lazerov, and Deed.

Use a phone.

And pray they don't take the call.

Moses!

Look, kid.

It's Friday.

Go do what you're supposed to do.

Go get laid, for christ sake.

- Outta the way.

- I wasn't doin' a thing.

Yeah, whatever.

- Look out.

- All right!

Hey.

Just here to dance.

Have a good time.

What?

Oh, my God. . .

Poppy.

Pollack.

- Who's that?

- He's a reporter.

We have to go.

- Why?

- We have to go.

- That's the guy from your story.

- Shh.

He's kinda cute, right?

Are you dating other people?

Don't worry. Looks like

he just got engaged.

I saw that.

Tough break for you.

You never put a face on it do you?

Once published, it will ruin his life.

I'm not ruining his life.

I said your story.

God, it is always about you, right?

I do think about that. Okay.

I think about ruining somebody's

life.

You're not gonna get

self-absorbed and mopey?

Don't get all soft and mopey

Hey, what are you doing?

- What happened?

- Come on. Move it!

Get outta the way!

Move! Move!

Don't move, help's comin' .

Aw, f***.

Officer Deed, Edison P. D. I have 2

down outside the Plaza Nightclub.

I have a medical bracelet here.

It says serum prothrombin

conversion, blood type O.

Stay still, buddy. Help's comin' .

- She needs help.

- I know. Stay still.

You okay?

Yeah.

Hell. Sh*t.

Wallace?

You ever answer your

f***ing phone?

You?

I've been up all night.

Pollack got the sh*t kicked up
