Illustration Excerpt Part Two
Time for another installment of fanart recruitment!
This next excerpt will be from Chapter Two, and rewind a bit to a previous blog post: Just Two Cops in Love.
Jim and Maggie, welcome to the MOTHER 2 novel illustrations. Let’s make this one count.
Behind the glass partition, a crowd of detectives was spitting while consulting one-another, practicing their quick-draws from the holsters beneath their overcoats, and snacking on cherry pie. Others were handling the zealous citizens who’d come to plea for the expulsion of wild dogs or the eradication of youth delinquency.
A group of policemen scuttled through the hallway and out the other door like a SWAT team, knocking some documents out from the arms of a passing female officer. She looked as though she were about to say something, but relented and threw her arms up in exasperation. Ness and Jim helped her with the fallen papers.
“Oh, thank you so much, Jim.” The woman adjusted her crooked glasses and, batting her eyelashes, gazed at Jim. “My goodness, is everyone on edge. I can’t concentrate on my favorite speed traps like this.”
“You’re so right, Maggie.” Jim, with a captivated expression, took her hand. “It’s terrible not being able to see your chalk lines. After all, they are the very best.”
“Tee hee. Well, the way you tear off tickets is so sexy and charming,” she said, girlishly.
“I hope we can set police traps together again soon.”
“Absolutely, honey <3. Let’s dish out those citations together.”
The next illustration for the novel will be the following:

I have a question… is this hallway that the policemen scuttle through on the same side of the glass partition as the detectives eating the cherry pie?
And the rest, they say, is artistic license.
If only I could draw scenery and large scenes! Oh well, there will surely be good contributions.
