Born on the Rockies east slope, into a white trash supremacist commune. His mother was a
junkie. Father unknown. Taught himself to read at three. Made his first kill at five, a big asshole
beat his ma and turned on him. The kid had the ass’s gun. Head shot. The law sent him to
school. Up there, it was the local place where incorrigibles were forced to read and write. He
taught them. They sent him away. Scholarship. Harvard. Bored. Sat the first year exams when
he arrived. Had his first PH.D. at thirteen. At fourteen he asked for a tryout with the Crimson. At
5’-8’’ they laughed. He laid down a c-note and challenged the biggest guy to go one-on-one.
They laughed. He laid down four more. The big guy took the ball. He rose lifted, his belly
screamed. He came down holding his spasm. The kid stripped him, turned and dropped a three.
He won 21-6.
Kid Gunn introduced himself at left guard. The Crimson won its first March Madness. They
called their new gun, Doc. He got his second Doctorate that year. An odd one in the Dark Arts.
Sue Clark, the girl who bought President Douglas a milkshake when she introduced herself on
the street, was an Eli and the CIA’s new Director. She followed the Doc. Harvard creamed Yale.
The Doc ran their floor game. She asked him to meet her in DC. He was now speaking over
thirty languages. Two PH.D.’s in the dark arts. He joined the the CIA. She took him in as her
ward.
The Doc worked alone. Doing what others couldn’t.
At twenty he bought into the market. Reading figures is just another language. Figures have
nuances. The Doc didn’t double or triple, he added three zeros annually to what he invested. At
twenty-three he bought the Wiz, the NBA’s constant bottom feeder. He used his first two picks,
the first and the fourth, to pick his boys from the Crimson. He found the others in the
neighbourhood courts.
That year he took out three Dic’s and upset the FBI. It seems several of their top agents were
on the take. That’s when he met Douglas. That’s when President Nancy Delmonico appointed
Sue Clark the Director of all the secret agents’ Agencies.
Soon he met Pike Moody and his partner, Lizzarious Ariel and he heard all about their quest for
change. He told Pike to run. The bugger did. He won.
The Doc found Mandy Dandy at a Yankee game. She turned out rather Dandy daring brilliant
deadly and rather cunning. They took out a Russian oligarch. They took control of Barclay’s and
Bank of America. They solved the Middle East’s constant dilemma. No war. No peace pact.
Hell’s bells, they moved Gaza. Economics trumps, missiles, wars and hate. They amassed quite
a fortune.
Mat Douglas went to every Wiz game. The Doc gave him a few good shots. The Countess gave
Mat a nudge. Doc and Mandy built a house across the creek.
Did you know the Doc told Pike Moody to run for President? Did he?
Did the Doc play his cards well? Did he kill a few more horrors? Did the Wiz go all the way?
Did Kid Gunn?
