Keeping An Eye Out: Chapter XVI

Hugh Hamilton

"Firstly," said good ol' Hugh, "I want you to have a peek at this here dagger." He snatched the sandwich bag from Ben and handed it to the orderly. "Find out if there's any finger prints on it and all that rot."
The orderly nodded and began to imagine what it would be like to smash two sets of knee-caps with a heavy pipe.
"And also," continued Hugh, "I'd like you to take a gander at this eyeball."
"Same deal?" asked the orderly.
"Yes, see if you can identify whose it is and if it too has fingerprints of some description. You know, just poke around a bit for anything out of the ordinary."
"Out of the orderly!" screamed the man with fiery eyes.
"Yes," said Hugh. "Bye."
They left.
