The Naked Beat

by

The back doors of the delivery van flew open and one of Mr. Li's large henchmen hopped out. He just stood there looking at me like a blind man in front of a television. I assumed he wanted me to get in the back of the van, so I went around to where he was standing. The back of the van looked like a salesman's convention, full of guys with plaid jackets and mismatched bow ties. They were all sitting there salivating so much the floor was slippery when I stepped in.

What the hell had I gotten myself into?

    I can visualise the sea of plaid (we call it check over here), the ties and the slippery floor. Welcome back Jake...you're back where you belong. Now I wonder how long my nails will last before they're bitten down to my fingertips? Thanks, Christopher.
