a drill press and a few other tools had stamped it
out in a basement workshop. He'd have liked to
have used the Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum pis-
tol he'd found during a burglary the week before,
but he'd had to ditch it when the cops arrived
sooner than he'd expected. He had been lying low
ever since, hiding in the attic of his friend, Bag-
worm, and wondering if the pigs had IDed him
as he sprinted away from the scene.
Jimmy didn't think they had made him. If there

A chill of rage suddenly shot through Jimmy
Two Blades's body as that same isolation re-
minded him of why he was there. Rags had come
back that very morning and told him he'd just




seen Too Cute, Jimmy's woman, coming out of
Big Willie's upstairs apartment. They'd been kiss-
ing and hugging, and grinding their goodbyes
while Big Wi!lie's hands roamed all over her
body.
The bitch couldn't even wait a week, Jimmy
