“It’s covering its eyes.”
“Say what?” Sergeant Frank was always gruff but Leon knew a warning when he heard it. He could (almost) visualize his superior in his boxer-shorts, remote in one hand and beer in the other. One did not get between the Sergeant and his beer.
“The new statue, Sir. In Rockefeller. It’s covering its eyes.”
“Leon, are you drunk?!”
“No, Sir. The hotdog man saw it, too. And a bystander.”
“Statues don’t move, Leon. That’s why they’re called statues.”
“This one did, Sir.”
Silence.
“Sir?”
Sigh. “I’m sending Marco. Meanwhile, Leon … sit tight and … do not engage …”

Sgt. Frank is probably gonna call the men in white coats to take his deputy into custody. LOL! Great write!

LOL, I think you may well be right … He said he’s sending Marco, but he didn’t say who is Marco going to ‘bring with’ … 😉

Na’ama Y’karah,
Perhaps the statue read Leon’s mind. Some things can’t be unseen. 😉

Being as Leon has two witnesses, Frank may be sorry if he doesn’t check into this occurrence further. Where is Batman when you need him? A good story with great dialogue, Na’ama. 🙂 — Suzanne
