"What did you say?"

"You heard me. I'm out."

"I think you a forgetting you place Keller."

"Fuck you Vern. My days of bending over for you are over."

"You better think twice Chris or your ass in not walking out of here alive."

"Eat me Vern."


"What's up Chris you seem a little nervous?"

"Huh um… I'm fine Beecher. It's just been a long day."

"You still feel like teaching me how to wrestle?"

"Yeah meet me in the gym in a hour?"

"Look what we got here, my two favorite prags, Bitcher and Chrisy."

"What the fuck are you talking about Vern?"

"Ah Keller did not tell you about his time in Lardner? Well when Chris here was seventeen he got in to little trouble. Ended up in Lardner his ass just begging to be raped. That is where I came in. Chris was more then happy to suck my dick for a little protection. Now Chris was supposed to break you but he had a change of heart."

"What? Is this true Chris? You are working for Vern?"

"Yeah it is Beech. No get the fuck out of here."

"What?"

"You heard me. Start running and don't look back."

"But Chris…"

"Toby just do it. Please Toby." Chris waited until here heard the retreating sound of retreating feet pounding on the gym floor. "This end hear Vern."

"My thoughts exactly. Today you die Keller."
