Headers at the bottom of the page. **** 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. **** h e a d e r s p o i l e r s p a c e TITLE: 155 Words I: Skinner AUTHOR: Forte E-MAIL: Bjm1352@aol.com or Forte1354@aol.com URL: http://www.thebasementoffice.com/ RATING: R for language CATEGORY: VA SPOILERS: Through "Zero Sum" SUMMARY: Skinner's train of thought after he left CSM at the end of the ep.
