The Naked Beat

by

Mr. Li's henchman lay sprawled out on the floor, bleeding from the side of his head worse than Blaze was bleeding from her mouth due to the blow he'd administered to her. Poetic justice.

I rubbed Buddha's belly and then went to help Blaze up. I felt like I'd cracked a baker's dozen worth of ribs when I hit the wall.

We started out the door and Jade Chen said, "Who are you? I want to know your name before I have you killed."

I went through the door with Blaze and then turned back.

"The name's Jake Randolph... Bitch!"

    Oh Jake..was it wise giving your name? Maybe you should have told her the name of someone you'd like rubbed out! Reminds me of the most famous episode of Dad's Army (brilliant UK WW2 sitcom) "Don't tell him, Pike!"

    Thank you, Robbin. I appreciate it.

    Neville and Drew, I don't want to give anything away but Jade Chen already knows his name and that he runs the café. She played along because she wanted to see what his game was, and she asked him his name because she wanted to see if he had the guts to tell her. And he didn't disappoint.

    Jake never disappoints, Christopher. Still loving it! :-)
