The roscoe spat twice as I ate sidewalk. The man-mountain with the ugly ironware looked like he knew his way around a piece, so why wasn't I strumming harp? I guessed it probably wasn't my baby-blues that had persuaded him not to ventilate me.

"Dis was just a warning, gumshoe." He had a voice like a hooch wagon rumbling over potholes. "You'd beddah get the message."

"What? Big V too cheap to send a telegram these days?" the ape put his gun back in his jacket and took a step forward, his fists swinging slightly like a pair of beef chandeliers.

"I just ain't gots to shoot ya, gumshoe. Ain't nothing said about you still being pretty when I leave."

"Alright, alright." I made quite a sight, lying on the sidewalk with both my hands held up to cool him down. "So what's this message that's so important Big V has to say it with slugs?"

"ConFounding Tales! is on, wise guy." He moved like a glacier making a u-turn and headed down the street.

So, those mugs had actually gone and done it. I decided to find a bar where my credit was still good and mull this over. Two things I knew for sure – it wasn't going to be pretty, but it was going to be a hell of a lot of fun.
