Chapter 28: Orcs Will Be Orcs
An EMT dropped her pizza on the plate and jumped over the table to perform the Heimlich maneuver just before the hairy police detective died of choking. Yep, life sure could be tough for some poor unfortunate soul. He got beaten up by a broomstick in the morning, stungunned on his face at noon, and now a bite of half chewed sub almost put him out of his misery at dinner hour. And the ugly mysterious bruises from 7 days ago hadn't even faded. All the cops, EMTs and firefighters gave him a look of sympathy before went back to eating, chatting and planning. They hadn't found out who'd slugged the Italian Stallion that day. But nothing would stop them from betting on why their favorite bounty hunter hadn't put her wedding ring on her finger this morning.
Half an hour later, the Italian Stallion staggered out of Pino's and got into his car. He'd never felt so betrayed, cheated and humiliated. Oh how he wanted to teach that crazy Cuban bastard a lesson he would never forget. He narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth as he drove on. Just you wait, Carlos Manoso, just you wait. You'll be sorry but your tear will be too late!
