The Deal

I heard the shots and my blood froze. Something was happening down in the parking lot. People were yelling. I ran to the window in time to see Hutch firing his canon at a patrol car and Starsky was…

As I ran down the hallway I sent up a bargain with the Almighty: “save Starsky and I'll lose all the weight I put on since Elmo died.”

Hutch was kneeling beside his partner and it didn't look good; I repeated the prayer.

We went through hell for a few weeks but Starsky fought back.

Tonight the diet is on hold.
