This could be the oldest reported Stack and Needless story. You will notice that it was still aimed at the funny-ish. And it was being told from the POV of Stack. I believe this is the first time I had used Forray as Stack's last name. This snippet was recently unearthed on a disk from 1994 . I know the flasher thing was based on actual events. HA! And if memory serves, Barbara Katterman was a Mayoral candidate in my hometown of Aurora. Enjoy.

I knew I shouldn't have taken the case. At the time it seemed like a nice little break. 273 women reported an elderly man flashing them and then escaping on a Kick-n-go. The precinct was in hysterics for the 26 days it took me to catch the guy. We had sent one of our female officers out dressed as a jogger and she apprehended him with little fight.

I was home working on my new tool shed when the call came in.

"Sgt. Forray?" came the voice.

"Yeah." I said as I took a swig of my Meister Brau.

"Sorry to call you on your day off and all, but, Lt. Barbara Katterman apprehended the Glenbard Flasher today. He's being printed and stuff right now." The voice waited for my reaction.

"Is Needless in?" I said swallowing hard.

"Sgt. Klovecki? No sir. He's at the shooting range."

"Okay. I'll pick him up and I'll be over to interrogate the pervert in about 20 minutes." I hung up the phone, picked up my wallet and boogied out the door.

My partner, Needless Action, spent most of his days at the shooting range.
