Actual, Honest To God Murder

All right.
So, there was a resident here, an older woman, whose son visited her every day, talking to her, feeding her etc.
Every day.
A few days ago, she died suddenly. I called the code and the EMT's worked on her for over an hour before she expired.
The next day, the memo came down to have security ready when the son came in for his regular, daily visit in case he flipped at the news.
He didn't come in that day.  Or the next day.  Or the next day.
The Hospital tried to call him on all his numbers, but to no avail.
Two days ago, someone mentioned to me the possibility that maybe he had also died, like a he-was-so-close-to-his-mother-that-he-died thing.
I asked for an explanation and they told me about the fact that he'd visited her every day since she'd arrived and then, about forty minutes after he left...his mother died and no one could reach him at ANY of his numbers.
I, being a snarky fuck, mentioned that it seemed a lot less magical and a lot more suspicious to me.
I mean, the death was sudden and took place, literally thirty-odd minutes after the son had left and now no one could reach him.
Anyway.
The son finally came in today.
When he arrived, he was asked to wait in the security office.
A quick aside.
He was told to wait in the security office.
He asked why and the Administrator on Duty said that he couldn't discuss it, but that someone was on their way.
He asked if his mother was okay.
The Administrator on Duty said he couldn't discuss it and that someone would be on their way down in a few minutes.
You probably won't recall, but this AOD is the guy that would always push my buttons: repeating things a thousand times as if I were a retarded child, being a spineless buck passing waste of bone marrow etc.
Well, up to this point, I'd just disliked the guy, he was an officious little prick that lorded his tiny, almost-insignificant modicum of power whenever it didn't matter, but whenever a REAL decision was to be made, he was all about washing his hands as fast as possible and then telling several people that he had done just that so as to cover his yellow ass.
But what he did today, what he did to that guy who had just (unbeknownst to him because of the cowardly fuck in question) lost his mother, was morally reprehensible.
It was craven and the worst thing ANYONE could have done in this position.
And before? I just disliked him. He was the typical idiot, sanctimonious, no-sense-of-humor-or-irony, dick boss type we all run into occasionally, but after this? I wouldn't waste spit on him.
Aside over.
So, this guy is standing in the security for over ten minutes with NO ONE telling him what's wrong.
Slowly, more and more security guards are trickling into the room in case he flips out and standing there awkwardly, waiting for SOMEONE to tell him that his mother died five days ago and had already been sent to the County Medical Examiner's office because no one could reach him and the chickenshit AOD is dodging each and every question SO badly that I'm just sweating; the tallest and most uncomfortable fly on the wall in fucking HISTORY...
And then two NYPD detectives enter the office and ask him to step into the Security Supervisor's office.
Long story short:
He had been seen putting things into his mother's food before feeding her, the ME's report stated that she was ACTUALLY dead more like ten to fifteen minutes after her son left the room, not forty and he had been misusing her social security checks for years.
The NYPD were waiting on results from a toxicology report from the autopsy they performed a day or so ago.
Security got a call about a half hour ago that he had indeed poisoned her and that she was in the process of dying while he was leaving the building.
He killed his own mother.
And he did it with NO FUCKING FORETHOUGHT WHATSOEVER.
So, since the NYPD showed up, I've had four people tell me I'm in the wrong business.
Score.
And, with that beautifully set up segue...
The CNN viral thing I shot a month or so ago is up.
Now, some people might actually be confused by this.
CNN just released an iPhone app.
The plot of this viral thing is that my character (Martin) and this other character (Paul) claim to have invented the world's first news reporting iPhone app, the Zap News App.
Thing is, it sucks, like, hilariously.
So, we're suing CNN and posting videos on You Tube and yeah.
So.
There's the setup.
Go to http://www.zapnewsapp.com/ for further updates.
Also, the Davidoff Hot Water commercial is on TV here and in Europe.
You can watch it on the Davidoff Hot Water site by going here--> http://www.zinodavidoff.com/fragrances/main.php?lang=en#/hotwater/hotwater/communication/ and clicking "TV".
Or on TV in Europe.
And in the U.S, apparently.
It's two beautiful people fucking on a beach.
And my voice is the post-coital cigarette.
And I fucking love that.
My Method soap, creepy perv/frat boy rapist VO should be up sometime in November and I'll keep you updated on that tip.
