... the lions and tigers for she loved cats.

"Lemme see how much I've got," he said as he thrust his hands in his coat pockets. The 100,000 in cash was still there - several bundles of $100 bills. A couple in his pockets and the rest sewn into the lining of his coat. All mine he thought, but that wasn't entirely true. $40,000 of it was his share of the proceeds. The rest he was supposed to deliver to Lang as a "finder's fee." The thought filled him with disgust. Just what did that smelly, useless old ba***rd do to deserve sixty grand??? As far as he was concerned he deserved every cent for doing much of the heavy lifting, as it were. As they walked past a hardware store, an idea hit him..."

...And then another one, and then another one. Suddenly, he found he could drum up at least 16 creative uses for a ball peen hammer.

He was quite deep in thought, and hadn't realized that he was about to crush his Lucky's the way he was digging his fist into his pocket. She shook his elbow.

"Whatsa matter?" she purred...

butterfly yoyo. 'Wow, he thought. 'I haven't seen one of these in years. In fact, I've never seen one in a box of Cracker Jack before. How the heck did they get it in here in the first place?' He rolled the roundness in hands, over and over again, mesmerized by its . . . roundness, as he thought of his female companion. Eventually, he began to uncoil the string and then, with a low gasp, slipped his finger into the . . .

....45 carat diamond ring! He quickly thrust his hand into his coat pocket upon realizing what the Cracker Jack, and the captivating dame had just dropped into his unsuspecting hands. "So doll,..." he said to her, " ...do you come here often?"

..and tried to slip a bucket over his head. Yet..even the clowny fire trucks of fools mouthed that infamous name...Danger..Danger..Danger. The caged wildcats turned to hiss and spit in that offensive direction. Little children's wide eyed smiles turned into twisted horrific grimaces that reeled with fear. Old folks wept openly with memory of that name. Young couples cringed frozen in tighter nerve shaking embrace. Moms and pops stood accusing and pointing to where Danger casually leaned against a whimpering leopards cage. Suddenly in semi-darkness..Danger snapped his fingers and flicked a zippo. Several citizens fainted. As he leaned slightly to light up what was left of a fag..the flame cast an eerie glow across chizled cheekbones..deepening dark ghoulish hallows. In an instant Danger then turned his eyes toward the crowd. Reflecting firey red..they shown what appeared to be demonlike soul. Mothers scooped up children as Father's threw popcorn and RC Cola in retreat while running for exits. Even elephants screamed in wild despair! Danger clicked the lighter lid shut..turned...and swaggered out the back..only to be greeted by.....

....Nancy! Nancy, whom he had known since grade school. The same Nancy that had spurned his amorous advances back when they had attended More Science High School, class of '32.
