"There was gunplay, and he wasn't involved."
Turns out that two nights ago, three of the pizza places here in Gardnerville were robbed. Pizza Factory and Nick-n-Willie's (both in the Ranchos) got the old commercial burglary route, but apparently one of my fellow drivers at Round Table got rolled.
Of all the people to whom it could have happened, why couldn't it have happened to me?
I'd have a "Had To Draw Down On A Scumbag" story for the ages, even if it would have cost me my job. I'd be a goddamned Legitimate Arfcom Action Hero.
Most recent news (as of this morning) is that the fine folks that perpetrated these acts remain uncollared and at large. Every night, I go to work with a smile and cold little Kel-Tec in the pocket of my ill-fitting black pleated-front slacks. This is the kind of job satisfaction only a magazine full of Winchester SXTs can provide.
Updates as events warrant.
