DONNY’S MOTIVE
A Detective Monologue
Henry N. Silva
Why does a private investigator do what they do?
To help bring justice to those who deserve it? Sure.
But there’s gotta be something more to it for every P.I., right?
Why do I do it? I don’t really know, to be honest.
I guess I like getting offers from all over the country, or even the world. Sometimes I’m in some rustbelt town in the midwest. Sometimes on a west-coast beach, or an east-coast suburb. Sometimes I’m at some highway stop out in the desert, even. I got called all the way to Italy once too, believe it or not!
Nothing that a fed couldn’t really do, though… I coulda been a fed instead. But then I’d have to work with others, and with all the literal and figurative backstabbing I’ve seen, that’s the last thing I wanna do…
That’s the price of working as many cases as I have, I guess…
-Donny Forest, P.I.
