Luis poured another pile of sugar halfway down the street and then walked up to the car barrier. The men behind the barrier—one wearing a red coat—were staring at him. Two of the men held pistols. One man spat something over the car he was leaning on and yelled at Luis.

"Whatcha doin, asshole?"

He wasn't wearing a red jacket. Luis, while relieved, still ignored him and poured more sugar.

"I'm talking to you, asshole!"

Luis looked up slowly and feigned ignorance. "You talking to me? Oh, I'm feeding my pet dinosaur."

The man came around the car and walked toward Luis, who could see a pistol in his belt. He leaned near Luis with an icy stare, and reached up, revealing a tattoo on the back of his hand—a shrunken head, the symbol of the Zombies. His voice was as cold as his stare.

"I don't like smart ass assholes."

Luis stepped forward holding out his bag of sugar.

"Really, I'm feeding my pet dinosaur. It's sugar, see."

He poured the sugar at the man's feet, careful not to get it on the man's shoes.

One of the Zombie's friends suddenly yelled, "Hey, Barton. Ain't ya gonna charge him the toll?"

Barton never took his eyes off of Luis. He merely rubbed his tattooed hand across his stomach just above the butt of his gun.

"Give me your wallet," Barton ordered.

"I haven't got one. Really, I was mugged yesterday."

"You better have something, man, if you want to get out of here alive." The Zombie pulled his gun, pointing it at Luis's stomach and stepped closer.

"I'm telling you the truth, I haven't got anything but this sugar."

"Yeah, you told us. Your pet dinosaur and all that shit." In a flash of lights and pain, the gun slammed into the lump on Luis's head and he collapsed to the street. Even after his pain was gone, Luis continued to writhe, trying to convince Barton he couldn't respond to threats. Then, someone behind the car hollered to Barton that something was coming down the alley.
