Cocaine. Allen Wells had a dog day afternoon. With nothing to do all afternoon, he spent that time wasted on beer, pot and lines of cocaine.
He inhaled another line.
He decided to drink beer. Alcohol and cocaine together form a chemical compound called cocaethylene catalyzed in the liver.
Allen Wells had a bad reputation around town, although the extent of this was not apparent to him.
Allen Wells liked cheese and beer. Cheese opens the taste bud flowers on the tongue and preps it for the grainy sharpness of beer. On this occasion, he had Danish Blue Cheese which is very stinky when opened from the box.
He left the box of cheese open on the table. He thought of his girlfriend.
Wells had a long look at another object that was lying on the table next to the beer, pot and cocaine. It was an MP3 player which could fit about 15,000 songs. He just got it at WalMart. There are even such things as MP4 players, but these are usually found on computers.
A few beers later, as the winter was setting early as expected. It was only 4:30 in the evening, but the sky was already ominously overcast and saturated with darkness. The female janitor was mopping the hall floor again. He could smell the strong odour of Pine-Sol.
Curiously, he also smelt cat shit although there was no cat. It took him a few minutes to realize, like understanding a lesson component in Chemistry 101, that the smells of Pine-Sol and blue cheese together smell like cat shit.
He should have seen this as a bad omen. He remembered a line from the novel 'Dune' which said that bad smells are omens of evil.
He should not have left his apartment that night.
Constable Chris Hines of the Royal Canadian Police Force or the R.C.P.F. was at the Police station. It was during lunch break that he got a call that there was a homicide.
Allen Wells was killed by persons soon apprehended. For hours, perhaps days, Allen Wells did not remember the thing that he did, but he did a lot of rude obnoxious things and got on too many people's nerves.
He was found dead the next morning along with items upon his person including an MP3 player with heavy metal on the playlist. Detective Chris Hines, the investigating officer was left to put the pieces together.
R.C.P.F. Ballistics had determined that the weapon used to murder Mr. Wells was an MP5. A Heckler & Kock MP5 is a type of machine gun.
The crack cocaine trade, practically non-existent ten years ago has become the new reality. It is the picaresque social lubricant for the surly on their time off work occupying the space that bottles of whisky did fifty years ago.
Bad deals, greed, misunderstandings over this pernicious blight that is crack cocaine has cost many lives and has sullied the image of many towns.
Authors note: About the title: Alfred Hitchcock directed Dial M for murder. Today on cellphones people press rather than dial.
