It was pouring rain, but Randy still had to have a story for tomorrow's paper. He was in the Madison District of Chicago, on the corner of Martin Street when he saw two or three shadowy figures staring at a big ugly black cat on the street. The cat walks around in circles like some demented thing. It's yellow eyes catching the light from the street lamp above. An old man was trying to coax it away. He says "You got to come home with me. I got milk for you, honest I have, and a warm fire. You like to be warm don't you?" Randy says "That cat's gone crazy, old-timer, I wouldn't go near him if i were you". Another man standing there says "She's been acting like that since they took Nick Corby's body away, almost an hour ago. won't let anyone near it". The old man says "Well, they shouldn't have done it. Nick won't like Tillie standing out here in the rain". The other man says "He won't mind too much, Mac, him being dead". Randy says "Come on Pop, I'll take you home. The cat will come in after a while". The old man says "They killed him and Tillie knows who done it. Aren't you going to tell me who done it?" Randy asks the other man "What's with that old guy?" He says "He's a little off, harmless though". Randy asks "What about this Corby?" The man says "He went out for a walk with the cat. Somebody heisted him. They took his dough, and left a bullet hole in his head". Randy asks "Did the cops get anything at all?" He says "They didn't bother much. Asked a few questions, then shoveled them into the meat wagon". Randy says "Well, I guess I'll be moving on". The man says "Me too. Hey, you want to know something?" Randy says "Yeah, always". The man says "This will give you a laugh. You look just like him". Randy asks "Like who?" The man says "You look just like Nick Corby".
