Bay City "Hutch"
Moment
Everywhere he
looked there were people. Some were in a hurry and some others looked like they
had all the time in the world. There was so much to see and so much to do.
There was never a dull or quiet moment on the streets of Bay City.
Normally
Hutch preferred a quiet place to think, like the beach or the greenhouse, but
not today. After a long hard day at the precinct he felt the need to get out.
To take a walk and get some fresh air to clear his head.
But instead
of going to the park or the beach he went to the heart of the city, on the
streets where nobody cared who he was or what he was doing. Sometimes that was
exactly what he needed.
A sudden wave
of happiness swept over him. Hutch smiled. This was one of those moments that
he understood Starsky's love for this beautiful vibrant city.
"
*What a world. What a life. I'm in love." Hutch sang, placing a sudden kiss on the cheek of an old lady passing
by. Surprised she turned her head and
watched the young man disappear. Softly touching the cheek where the blonde man
had kissed her, she smiled and softly sung:
"
*What a world. What a life. I'm in love"
The
End
