Welcome everyone. Enjoy this little story as I revisit the zombies and the voodoo to do something more original and less "White Zombie" with "Detentionaire" characters. Enjoy and review.
A. Nigma News
Octorber 1st, 1972.
Over a year since the death of Francois Duvalier, the absolute President of Haiti had passed. His even more absolute son, Jean-Claude, was now the President.
Thus did Tina Kwee stand before her boss Wendell Barrage, a veteran of the October Crisis prior to going into the news business! It seemed that Barrage was sending Tina to Haiti to write a story about it now that it had passed from one autarch to another.
"You can't be serious, Barrage!" exclaimed Tina. "To Haiti under Jean-Claude? Might as well be going to—"
"Ms. Kwee, I already offered this to Mr. Moneranian." Stated Barrage. "Being the coward that he is he quit and went to work for MWF News. Before he left we had two top reporters, Moneranian may have been a coward but still he was still one of our top reporters." Moneranian would soon fall into poverty and die in the gutter. "Now we are only left with you."
"Well, if you put it that way…" said Tina, thoughtfully. "I guess I will go but I will require some…"
"Require what?" asked Barrage. "Lodgings? Basil Hagen has already granted you his permission to stay at his Haitian estate in Port-au-Prince while he is away."
"Where is he now?" asked Tina. "The German estate? The Irish… No, wait. The Troubles are going on in Ireland so, the German estate?"
"Actually, he is at home here in Toronto right now." Stated Barrage.
"Then I'll go see him about the lodgings and then make my way to the airport." Said Tina. "Unless he is at his grandfather's theatre since I'm guessing you aren't speaking literally."
"I am not." Commented Barrage. "I would call ahead before showing up at one place only to learn he is at another."
