oh no! why are they putting ‘that’ guy in me?

uchh...what a mess!
you don’t look so good buddy
thanks for bleeding all over my nice clean insides

of all the stiffs I’d have to meet
why couldn’t it have been a sweet old lady died in her sleep?

careful - don’t pull too hard on the material, fellas

whoa - he’s a big one
probably around six foot two
two hundred pounds or more

wonder what happened?

oh - wait a minute
the detective is filling in a subordinate

“male Caucasian
long hair - handle-bar mustache
approximate age…only thirty-two
female acquaintance - critically injured in the attack
run a make on the Camaro, Officer
Quebec license plate 376F161”

hmmph - nice car - too bad
he won’t be needing it where he’s gone

“Sir - we have a positive I.D. on the victim

name - Marcel Girouard
resident of Montreal
middle level drug dealer
two previous arrests for possession of Cocaine
possible underworld connections”

HA…figures
that would explain the machinegun attack
appears someone had it in for this guy

and now you’re my guest
my responsibility
to keep you safe…secure
fool - too late now to change your ways

“by the way, Captain
what do they do with these body bags
after we’re done with them?”

“they incinerate them”

Author's Note: Based on a real life event that took place in Montreal in the mid 80s. I came across it in the pages of Photo Police, a tabloid published also in Montreal. The name of the victim, license plate number, etc. are fictitious, to protect the privacy of loved ones and the innocent.
