Revenge

by Bast

(a Chicago drabble)

To Amos it was all a blurr--the bright lights, the applause, Roxie and Velma dancing on the stage

......the gun shot. Then--Roxie's blood, Velma's screams. People rushing for the door, someone taking the gun from his hand.

Billy Flynn suddenly standing there beside him. "It's o.k. Amos", he said. "I'll take care of it."

As he was led from the theatre cameras snapped his picture and reporters asked him why.

"She had it coming", he said.
