Sum Yung Gye

Sum Yung Gye is the first in the Series of Stories about the Shane Ireland, Elf Private Eye. Down on his luck Shane takes a job and is pulled into one frying pan to another, but don't take my word. Listen to what Shane has to say. My name is Shane Ireland. I am an elf. My story begins on a rainy night in Portland. Seems every night in Portland is rainy. I got a call earlier in the day from a gangster named Squirrel. Squirrel is a provider, providing what people wanted. In this case it was me and three other guys for a job.
“So what kind of gig, Squirrel?” I said and took another sip of malt whiskey. It helped me pass the time when it was raining.
“A grab,” he said. “I don’t know anything more about it. You want it or not?”
I was temporarily low on funds and said, “Sure, I’ll take it.”
