“I hope you know I’ve lost all respect for you as a professional, Sam. The doctor says I’m going to walk with a limp for the rest of my life.”

“There was a crooked man who had a crooked—”

“You broke my legs! My house is destroyed.”

Sam peeked into the bedroom where Coyote was attacking the Sistine Chapel with a helicopter gunship. “Josh, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m glad you came to your senses.”

“Fuck you. I’m using up years of collected dirt to get your apartment back.”

“Townhouse,” Sam corrected. “Not apartment.”

“Don’t fuck with me, Sam. I’m in a cast up to my nipples and a sadistic nurse has been force-feeding me green Jell-O for an hour. Just tell me it’s over.”

“It’s over,” Sam said.

The phone clicked. Sam walked back into the bedroom. “What did you do to Spagnola?”

Coyote was rolling on the bed in exaggerated body English to tilt the gunship. “These birds are eating my tail rotor. I can’t control it.”

“Uh-oh, St. Francis released the doves of death. You’re dead meat.” Sam took a cigarette from the pack on the dresser and offered one to Coyote. “What did you do to Spagnola?”

“You said you wanted your old life back.”

“So you broke Spagnola’s legs?”

“It was a trick.”

“You can’t just go around breaking people’s legs like some Mafioso fairy godmother.”

The gunship spun out of control and crashed on the mezza-nine. Coyote threw the joystick at the screen and turned to Sam. “How can I win if you keep talking to me? You whine like an old woman. I got you your house back!”

“I wouldn’t have lost it if you had left me alone. Be logical.”

“What gods do you know that are logical? Name two.”

“Never mind,” Sam said. He went to the closet and pulled his clothing out for the day.
