Big Ugly and Bobby enter an oversize formal dining room. This is where royalty grazes. Standing in a long line at full attention are maids, butlers, kitchen help and a scholarly-looking man. He wears a lab coat and a stethoscope. Not because he really has to, but because Big Ugly has him on staff to be a doctor and, by God, in Big Ugly’s mind he should look like a doctor.

Big Ugly walks down the line, Bobby next to him carrying a basket filled with stacks of rubber band bound cash. As Big Ugly shakes the hand of each staff member, he hands him or her a severance stack.

Big Ugly reaches an attractive maid and gives her a nipple twist. She smiles. She gets an extra stack. He reaches the doctor.

“I’m not leaving you here,” announces the doctor.

Big Ugly nods.

“You need help. Treatments need to…”

Blam!

Big Ugly drops him with a bullet to the brain. The staff barely flinches; this happens somewhat frequently around here. Bobby motions to an open door leading to an adjacent room. The nondescript room contains a lone bed, a sand box, and walls padded with blue foam egg crates.

Booby asks, “And them?”

Looking toward the room, Big Ugly eyes a row of five semi-nude hookers. “Get rid of them.” Bobby moves towards them, not completely sure if he’s supposed to kill them or just set them free. Big Ugly places a hand on Bobby. “On second thought, leave two.”

The remaining staff and hookers exit with Bobby, who is carrying the dead doctor. They all pile into waiting Escalades. Bobby stuffs the doctor’s body into the back of one Escalade and turns to his master with watery eyes. Good-byes are hard.

Big Ugly shows a flicker of humanity. “Bobby, words do not do justice.” Bobby extends a hand. “It’s been an honor and a privilege.” Big Ugly hands him four stacks, pauses, then takes back one.

Bobby gets in and the Escalades drive off into the woods. Big Ugly watches them leave. He’ll miss them, some of them.

Not really.

He snaps his fingers.

The Escalades explode, bursting into multiple fireballs.
