Broadway's My Beat, from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway's My Beat, with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
Winter begins its long dying, and Broadway reacts to the process about the same as anywhere else, with a kind of joy, with a smile touched off by the little warmth left inside. Except on Broadway, there will be things to remember. The evenings, just as nighttime drifted in when the lights on the Translux were winter fireflies, and twinkled of how it is to be at war in February. And the coffee smells, and the crowd, and the time when you delivered the runaway Pekingese back to the girl whose lips quivered when she kissed the dog. And the night's dying, and remember how it was, as seen through the prism of a cold tear. The night had died in the place where I was, and the first light diluted the shadows in the hallway, revealed these things, the carpeting rich and carved, and the intruding pattern, the blood on it,
The man's blood lying on it. And the young girl in an evening gown and furs. And her sobs. I'm trying to find out from you as daily as whether you knew this man. Whether you've ever talked to him. Whether there's a reason why he should be dead in front of my door. That's right. From what I can tell, this man was beaten to death. And the way he's lying, he probably struck his head against this wall here where there's blood. Well, I... I told you. I told you all I know about it. Tell me again. Well, I... I was on the town nightclub party, you know. Go on. Well, I came home. I saw this man. This man who delivers milk. His identification says his name is Raymond Grant. Do you know him? Did you talk to him?
You keep asking me that. I told you that.
I came home and I saw... You came home alone? Yes. I always come home alone, Mr. Clover. It's a good deed I do myself whenever I go out. I came home alone and I found this man.
He was lying just as he is now.
You went into your apartment, called the police.
Yes, yes.
What do you do, Miss Daly? I... I study. History, Mr. Clover. I'm a graduate student at the university. How long ago did you come home, Miss Daly?
I... I don't know. Half hour, 20 minutes or more. I... I don't know.
About that, though. I'd say this man was killed just a little while before you got here.
Say that... Oh, please. Please.
Please.
And finally, shock, that has drifted on the flow of dawn, ends its searching, touches the bare shoulders of the girl. She draws the fur close about her throat, and it ripples with her trembling. And death lies still across her threshold, barring the way to her darkened room, where sleep is, where there's an end to shock, where night's gaiety can be dreamed again. And when the attendants come and take away their dead, the trembling is still on the girl. And the shock, frozen now in her eyes, shapes a wall against further questionings.
