In 1970 Jason Daniels returns from Southeast Asia and finds life has changed little in his hometown. He had found himself in the military and he now finds himself strong and invincible ready to change the world. Instead he quickly finds himself trapped into a job and the useless pastime of cruising the ‘strip’ in his new muscle car. Along the strip is a building with a sign proclaiming itself to be The Bridge Inc. One night a young hippie girl is outside The Bridge Inc. handing out pamphlets that proclaim the place to be a crisis intervention center to help those in trouble. Not only does it list reasons to call and a number, but asks for volunteer counselors. The group is composed of hippies and intellectuals. They are young and idealistic, but they are, at least, doing something. He volunteers and begins to counsel those in trouble. But who counsels the counselors. Excerpt from One Tin Solider: Jay was hanging out as usual when Debbie answered the phone "I got a guy on acid down the street,” she announced. “Sounds like a real bad trip." "Shit," Jay said, "I'll go." "Can I come too," squeaked Joyce. They found a parking space outside a tavern named 'Arnie's"There he goes!" Joyce shouted. "Now how the hell does she know it's him?" Jay thought. "Ah, the guy standing in the middle of the street naked. A dead give away.” The man stood six-foot or so with the build of an athlete, maybe a swimmer. He was covered with lacerations. Blood trickled slowly from a dozen cuts and scratches and flowed down his body in small streams like rain down a windowpane. His expression was that of a madman, particularly his eyes that began darting all about, seeing nothing. This was not a normal tripper. This man was approaching insanity. "Hey man, what's happening?" Jay tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, knowing the man would reflect his mood. "You the fuzz man? I'll kill ya, if you're the fuzz." The tripper eyes shone with malice and hatred. Jay realized his dark blue jacket resembled the kind the police wore and the crest on his chest could easily be mistaken for a badge, "No, man," Jay replied, "I ain't no cop." Jay realized his first job would be to get him off the street. "Hey man, it's pretty cold out here.” Usually trippers where very suggestible, Jay had to feed him enough suggestions to get him to go where he wanted him to. "Why don't we go inside?" "I want to run with the wind." the tripper shouted. "No man, it's too damn cold. You'll freeze your balls off." Jay said as a matter of fact. "Yeah, you're right." The man followed Jay docilely. It was easy to identify the house, even without an address. It was the one with the shattered front window. Shattered no doubt when the tripper had jumped through it, causing the cuts and scratches on his body. The house had full length, double stain glassed, doors that open into a foyer maybe 6 ft square. The inner doors contained full length frosted glass. Jay knocked on the door trying to rouse someone within. Jay was in the unenviable position of being locked in a small room with a madman. The man's eyes darted around at lightning speed, his muscles tensed up like a cat ready to spring. Jay had to do something, now. He decided to throw his arms around the man in a bear hug and pin him to the wall. In this manner, the tripper would be unable to swing his arms or get the leverage to kick. Jay hadn't even considered his actions beyond this. The man, instead of reacting violently, as Jay had expected, responded by throwing his arms around Jay and holding him in a close embrace. The inner door was opened suddenly by a short, squat teenager dressed only in jockey shorts. Jay released his hold. The man shot into the house, walked a few feet, then fell flat on his face. He put his hands to his side and began to flop around like a fish out of water. "What's he on?"
