Pheromone kept at least two or three vehicles between him and the white van as it sped down South Claiborne Avenue.

Barnes drove with little regard for the speed limit. Turning on Highway 90, he followed the winding road for the next thirty minutes until taking a right turn at the Gentilly landfill. The forest of pines that fronted the city garbage dump concealed it well from the ever expanding urban population.

Stopping at the security gate, he exited the van, unlocked the padlock, and removed the chain securing the two gates. The low glow of mercury vapor lights illuminated the remaining drive down the bumpy, asphalt road.

On arriving at the unloading dock, Barnes backed the van to the edge and set the emergency brake. It had been a long day for him, having pulled ten hours on the morning shift, and now working overtime for the Mayor.

A black Chevy Suburban with the headlights off pulled in front of his van interrupting his sordid task.

“Hey, what the . . .” Barnes charged over to the SUV.

The passenger side of the Suburban opened. A tall man wearing a New Orleans Saints football uniform and helmet walked straight toward him.

Barnes stopped, reached in the waistband on his backside, and pulled out a pistol. “You, back in the truck. Now!”

The pace of the black and gold clad figure did not alter. He continued in fast, jerky steps.

“I’m a police officer! Stop or I’ll fire!” Barnes said, as he pulled the trigger on his Glock 27. Three bullets found its target directly on the number nine on the jersey. The figure continued unimpeded.

Barnes managed two shots to the helmet before the ominous figure stripped the gun from his hand. A fist took him for a ride to dreamland.
