Chapter 15
Using a sodden square of cardboard to cover his head, Frank peered around the corner of the alley and looked out onto Main Street. A loud crunching noise had somehow pierced through the racket the hail and wind were making to catch his attention.
One of the dino-lizards looked as if it were trying to eat a Honda.
“I hope you choke on it,” he said, recalling thinking the same thing when the gators tore off chunks of Tony.
The gators didn’t choke, but one of them had snatched the leg of the guy who’d been holding Frank down, forcing him to watch the horrid spectacle. Boy, had he screamed. His buddy had stopped his laughing to try to pull him from the beast’s iron grip.
Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Frank ran, never looking back. He could only hope that both those fuckers were the dessert to Tony’s dinner.
Confident the lizard couldn’t see him, he decided to sit back and watch the stupid thing kill itself.
Which was all well and good, until he saw a woman’s face in one of the open windows.
“What the hell are you doing out in this storm?”
He couldn’t hear the woman, but he could see her mouth open wide in a scream.
Leg bouncing with nervous energy, he slipped back into the alley, away from the unfolding madness.
“You can’t just let it eat her.”
Frank pulled on the whiskers on his chin, a habit he’d developed since he hadn’t been able to shave.
“What the fuck can I do? I don’t have any weapons. I don’t even have enough food in my stomach to take a shit. That thing’ll kill me with just a look.”
Sure, he wasn’t what society would call a good guy. He ran some numbers, did odd jobs for shady people, never held down a nine-to-five and consorted, happily, with strippers.
But he’d never killed a person. And he sure as hell didn’t want to watch a woman die before his eyes.
You didn’t hurt women, and you sure as hell didn’t sit idly by and let them get hurt.
“I know you’re looking down at me, Ma. Maybe today, I can finally make you a little proud.”
