Unfortunately, some perps were hit multiple times in the crossfire, and their ashes are fertilising grass now. We're not sure if the head man was one ...f them. We hope so.''Fucking hell!' I breathed. 'You guys play rough!''Have to, man! These ain't schoolyards we're playing in!'Then Murchison hesitated, and he said, 'You know, when we dropped your niece, some guys swore she was giving orders to the perps. It was thought that because she was brainwashed by her life, that she didn't really know. I stepped hesitantly over the fence – but it didn’t set up an alarm. I came closer to the corpses and saw they too were slowly rotting, their bodies stiff.

This one was in the room and she had. I went to lunch that day at one of the topless bars in town. The Candy Store had just changed management, and they were running a special with a five-buck cover, a free lunch buffet and $3 drinks. All told I could get in and out for under ten bucks if I passed on the table dances. When I got back to the office I leaned over Nell's desk to get my messages. Her blouse was open just enough to show a little cleavage, and I smiled as I admired the view. When I got back to my desk, I restarted.
