Logan!

Toot (Tommy) Thompson said: You don't know who the hell you messin' with. And like I said when you slimed in and dirtied up the place: In this is ever-changin' old world; nothing stays the same. Except you, Danny the punk, Logan." I said: "I ain't here to listen to your corn-pone philosophy--about life--as it appears before your blind rat eyes, I'm here to--" "To lock up my brother! And possibly me? And toss the key, for somethin' neither of us done, I know ex-actly why you here. Cop!" I said, "No, I ain't here to lock up your brother or you either. I'm here to kill your brother now, and you after. But if you don't squawk--I could upgrade that arrangement? and place you, at the top of the list? And by the way. I ain't a cop no more--turned the shield in just this morning. Now I'm go ask you, one more time. Rodent. In what rat-hole... might I dig up that twin psychopathic look-alike rat-like brother of yours, Toots?" "Go to hell--!" He was a large man; but was out of shape. I cuffed his collar, backhanded his cheek with one hand, reached for my shoulder-holster with the other and whipped out Magnum; poking Magnum against the tip of his wide, flat nose I said, "You're a Thompson... And when it comes to killing Thompsons, I ain't all that mindful of the order in which I shoot you down like the rats that you are; I don't discriminate. Your damn family is a cancer. But I hold the scalpel. And I hold it here in my right hand. And I now have the excuse I've always wanted. Your family's world has come to a loud screeching halt. And every one of you Thompsons; on time, or too late; will squawk." The Magnum smashed his left jaw. He staggered back on his heels and flopped spread-eagle on the carpeted floor. I knelt pressing the long black barrel of the Mag into the soft saggy flesh between his eyes, gripped his throat with my left hand, and squeezed. "On time! or too late--it don't matter! Which will it be! Toots! On time or late! It's your choice!"
