. . . my head still ull o the wild banging o handguns and the
crazy booming o shotguns, echoing across the pier, fame belching
right past my ace and even though I didn’t eel the impact o the
slugs that took me down I could remember the numbness and the slow driting away that began to smother me. The ace was there, too,
blood smeared across the Bonetti kid’s mouth, tight in a mad grin as
he poked the barrel o his .357 against my orehead and said, “Die,
you bastard,” as he started to squeeze the trigger but he shouldn’t have
taken the time to say it because the .45 in my st went o and his
nger couldn’t make the squeeze because the brain that should have
sent it signals shut o like a switch as Bonetti’s head came apart in
crimson chunks like a target-range watermelon.
