    Summary

    Circa 1951, Ray Slode gets transferred from marketing to a junior news position as a weatherman. At Channel 6. The producers have their eye on this boy, most especially the man who freed up this spot.

    The last person to replace Vincent Whittman died.

    or, from chapter three:

    That was something that stuck in his mind. Vincent, all shark-toothed grin, being warm and friendly. Really friendly. He heard the word doll in his mind, ricocheting. Maybe he’d misheard him. He’d gotten kid, but… doll? Maybe he was drunk? No. He realized in the coming, hung-over morning, that Vincent had only drank one singular glass. The rest strewn on the bar were all for him. That tab would’ve been on the expensive end. He had, stuffed in the pocket of his maroon button-up, a telephone number with neat handwriting on it.

    V. Whittman. Call if you need anything.
