“I understand your position, Dave. It’s a big story, and you worked hard to get it. But if you don’t drop me at the Europa, I’ll blow your head off. Imagine how big that story would be. There’s no need for these histrionics. We’ll go to the Holiday Inn. You can rest, shower, debrief. You’ll be among friends. Last chance, Dave. You can be the hero or the headline. Your call. Let’s talk it out. No. You talk too much. He started a new line of argument, but before the words passed his lips his brains passed them on the way out. A dirty reddish slime painted the windshield; it covered the dashboard and console. It poured and dripped from the ceiling to the seat. The driver was covered on one side of his head and body. The mess made the crowded taxi undrivable. -Also, someone crapped their pants.”
