    Chapter 10

    All through the long morning and longer afternoon, Paddy struggled to get control of his shattered life. It was his inability to cry that troubled him profoundly; he acutely felt the need to let go and it seemed his hurt was beyond the influence of human responses. He knew if he didn't emote and give vent to his repressed feelings, he would become catatonic . . . again. He just moped around his home trying to find an outlet such as reading, cooking, bathing or tidying up. Nothing worked .

    You're very perceptive. The reference is to Paddy's talk with Gary. I should have been more specific. Thnx for your thoughts

    No that's right and especially back in the early twentieth century. It's a lesson we all have to learn; that all our actions have consequences. Thnx for your comment.

    Chapter 9

    At first there was only dimness and a strange feeling of floating. He sensed movement but then the blackness returned. Now there was light again and then sound . . . a small candle flickered in his head as slowly he returned to consciousness. Disoriented, he looked around and realised slowly that he was in bed; but in bed where? He sensed people moving around him and then his sense of smell returned, suggesting that he was in hospital. Paddy lay immobile and made no sound as he let co

    Chapter 8

    As soon as the news of Moira's murder became known, by ones and then twos, Tilley's mob sauntered into the Crown. At first they were quiet, conversing in low whispers and banding together to share their common grief. Being Freddie's cousin Moira was popular, and to each person it was a personal loss. Of course the rumour mill was in overdrive; details were sketchy, and basically the only news and details they had was from reports in the paper. The twelve o'clock radio news bulletin shed no furth

    That was my problem, putting Simon in harms way. He deserves to be loved not frightened.

    I just couldn't write about putting a young kid in harms way. Paddy's a practical copper

    Glad your're enjoying. I decided to introduce a twist as I couldn't write about putting a young kid in harms way. He's got enough problems.

    Chapter 7

    'Paddy, that’s incredible . . . I'm stunned . . . I guess we're all stunned. (there were murmurs of agreement around the table); are you sure? I mean is this kid reliable? I'd hate to go off on a wild goose chase, relying on the input from a thirteen year old kid . . . a queer thirteen year old kid. Let's be careful here.' 'I'm certain chief; believe me I know the lad and he's kosher[1]. Being a young homosexual don't mean he ain't truthful. Look at it logically, why would he invent a story

    Chapter 6

    Just off Darlinghurst's main street there is a wall that is frequented by male prostitutes; because it's dimly lit and not far from the Saint Vincent Hospital it's a safe place for male prostitutes to make connections. Most punters opted for older boys but, on occasion, younger boys were solicited by patrons who preferred young flesh. Nathan had picked Simon out of a bunch of young boys because the mop of curly hair and almost pretty face, would appeal to his boss; he could vision the old cunt l

    I only post a new story once I have completed writing. I only wish I could post the whole story in one go. It must be frustrating for readers to have to wait on forthcoming chapters.

    I think the following chapters answer your question. paddy assumes responsibility and interacts with the kids on a different plain. Thanx for your input. Writers learn from comments made by readers so much so that readers are a vital part of story development. Thnx again

    Yes Paddy has shown some guts. But who amongst us haven't been entranced by a beautiful young man. I'm not talking Kiddie stuff which I personally find abhorrent, but a young man entering his teen years. We enjoy . . . but don't touch

    Any political party will do anything to gain office . . . as long as they can get away with it!. I don't know whether I'm a pessimist or a realist

    Chapter 5

    After sending an urgent message to Billy that they must meet, Paddy strolled into the warehouse and softly called; 'Hey Billy, it's me Paddy; where are you?' 'Over 'ere Paddy; over 'ere in the corner. I'se been anxious to see ya.' 'Yeah me too little man; Whatcha been up to?' Paddy moved over and sat beside Billy who was lying comfortably on a wool bale. He was only wearing a singlet and a pair of shorts demonstrating his well-developed chest muscles; his shorts had ridden up

    Chapter 4

    It was a beautiful sunny day, a perfect day for a BBQ. Bill Delaney (Senior Sergeant) lived in the suburb of Newtown and had a large back yard that easily allowed for a social gathering. On this occasion wives and partners were also included in the outing and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Earlier on they had gathered informally to share the latest intelligence and Paddy was congratulated on the info about the new member of Tilly's gang. 'I (from Bill Delaney) don't suppose you

    Chapter 3

    Chief Inspector Miles O'Donnell looked at the seven persons sitting around the conference table at Police Headquarters in Collins Street Sydney. It was an old fashioned room panelled in dark wood with the obligatory photos of past Chief Commissioners and of course, the King. The conference table was solid mahogany and built in an oval shape. In front of each position was a glass tumbler of water and a notepad with pencil. The windows were covered by blinds that could adjust the amount of l

    Thnx for commenting. Whilst writing my story I became immersed in the Paddy character. I wondered what hell it must have been in those days to be gay and criminalised. How lucky we are to live in a more enlightened world.

    Chapter 2

    The Coogee beach baths were open to the ocean which meant that every high tide the waters were refreshed; it was also deemed to be a safe meeting place for homosexual men. Around the headland were walks for the adventurous and rock caves that afforded seclusion and privacy. He arrived at the appointed time and place, waiting anxiously for the younger man to appear. He was filled with misgivings; would the lad turn up, would he be compromised and was he making an error of judgement just agr

    '(crash) . . . (mumbled swearing) . . . and you can tell that fuckwit boss of yours . . . (pause) no! Shut up and listen . . . that he may be the Governor of this state, but I'm the Premier and it's what I say goes and not what your pompous idiot wants me to do, understand?' Silence whilst the other party was responding, and then, 'Bullshit! No! Tell him I said no, and if he don't like it he can shove it up his seriously fat arse! . . .
