TRAMP TROUBLE

There's only two things you can start without a plan:
a riot and a family ~ Groucho Marx.

Pressure of any kind is nothing to be carelessly applied in any situation. When extremities are reached that cause sudden changes, the results can be exceptionally beneficial, extremely catastrophic, totally unexpected, usually life changing and sometimes even quite puzzling. To wit: diamonds, devastating earthquakes and volcanoes, party balloons popped, historic and bloody revolutions. It could also turn a night shift cop nicknamed Hobo into a puzzle solving homeless tramp in deep trouble.

Ever have days when it seems the whole world has turned against you? Pressure from all sides mounting in such a way that even your worthless, always hungry mutt refuses to gnaw a meaty bone tossed to it? Some of your friends stabbing you front (and back) out of worry, anger, jealousy, misguided attempts to help, misunderstandings, and or perhaps even perceived duty? What to do when you get FED UP with it all, eh?

For Detective (Junior Grade) H. O. Beau Badge #984, aka Mister Hobo and possible poster boy for post traumatic stress, the answer is simple. Make a planning list or two to deal with all his incoming crap and start checking them off item by item; happily if possible, somewhat brutally if needed, and trusting no one in the process except one fellow nutcase cop nicknamed "Pancho, Cisco, and Jose".

At the bottom of those life changing lists, make a note to self:
Beware of a possible wild card serial killer and enemy lurking in the shadows; one actually causing all the extreme pressures in his Tramp Trouble.
