****

In this part of town, no one will give a rat's ass about the
shots he fired; fear isn't what pushes him to move move MOVE
down the hall, down the stairs, down the crumbling sidewalk
towards his car.  He clenches his fists, *squeeeezing*, keeps
pumping them in time with his legs because if he doesn't, if he
doesn't, goddammit he will go back and blow a hole the size of
the Hoover Dam through that lying, smoking fucker's head, and
that is NOT AN OPTION because if he does he's signed her death
warrant, but how does he know letting him live hasn't done the
same thing?

Either way she's fucked; she's dying right now, and he's been
completely incompetent, naive, fucking stupid to not know that
this deal would be rigged.  But that bastard is her best chance
at life, so he continues his staccato march, and prays he hasn't
killed her himself.
