Manhunter The Best
Kevin and I spent many years together hunting Felons and he was the best in the business. We had tracked a killer to California and flew out to meet with local Detectives in a attempt to find the wanted subject,we apprehended him on day two right after Kevin's morning workout at a gym he talked his way into.Kevin was not satisfied with the short stay so he convinced the Chief to extend our stay a few days so we could enjoy ourselves and search for another fugitive who didn't exist! The hotel we were at was hosting a Law Enforcement Convention at the time so Kevin was in his Glory! I went to check out of the hotel and questioned the bill? It had a $ 475.00 bar tab? Kevin had told the bartender to buy all those cops at the convention a round.I said Kevin I love you but we don't have that much money, don't worry we'll figure it out and he did.The next day we picked up the killer for the plane ride home, as I sat with the prisoner Kevin entertained the flight attendants and had them singing and drinking the first class sections wine.The prisoner took a likening to Kevin and laughed the entire flight,when we landed in NY Kevin asked if he could do anything before we took him to jail?he thought the Detective with the heart of gold was kidding when he requested a final meal of West Indian food,Kevin drove to a restaurant with our now friend in handcuffs and not only fed him but treated him to a few bottles of Guiness.Kevin you always had my back and I love you for it.
