Title: Tears, scars, pursuit!

"Check this out, see my latest lick-on tattoos?  Man, everytime I look in the
mirror I have to stare at myself, wink, and ask, 'you talkin' ta me?'."
Roach has two 1" teardrops, one under each eye applied to his face.  As he
winks, his slimey narcissistic smile begs to be slapped from his scarred face.

"Looks like one a' them clowns I saw last week at the circus, man.  Makes me
smile too, heh heh." an anonymous torn T-shirt jibes from further down the bar.

Roach downs the last of his nursed-to-warm beer, seemingly ignores the comment
and leaves the bar.  Nearly sundown.  A hint of cooler air is breezing through
the handlebars of the 1996 BMW bike he straddles.  He starts it and proceeds
toward Gila Bend in pursuit of Boom-boom.  He says to the passing warm wind,

"30 second delay?
Claire, my mama,
you shall pay..."

Connate revenge, taken from Roach's mean blooded father who once said to him,
"Payback ain't worth a shit less it's done 10-times over."
