“Shut up, bitch!” Skinny said.

“What did you just say?” Griz said.

Skinny might’ve held his hands up in surrender, if his whole body wasn’t immobilized. Still, when he spoke, there was a spark of defiance in him.

“The fuck are you doing here, man?” he said. “It ain’t bad enough you put me in this cast? It ain’t bad enough you fucking took my… took my…”

Skinny stopped, swallowing hard, looking like he was on the verge of tears.

“Took your what?” Becca asked.

“My ball, man!” Skinny finally let out. “You took my ball!”

“Your ball?” Griz said. “What are you talking about?”

“When you grabbed me, man. It ruptured one of my testicles.”

“Ugh,” Becca said, grimacing in horror. “It can do that?”

“I guess so,” Griz said with a shrug.

Skinny stared daggers at them both. “It swelled up so bad they had to remove it.”

“They cut your balls off?” Becca said.

“Ball,” Skinny said. “One ball. Hey, fuck you, stop laughing, Beard Man. It ain’t funny.”

“It’s kind of funny,” Griz said.

“You’re a sick bastard, you know that? Laughing at mutilating me?”

“You shot me with a shotgun,” Griz said.

“That’s different,” Skinny said.

“It’s… whatever,” Griz said. “We’re not here for that.”

“What are you here for?” Skinny said, eyeing them suspiciously.

“We’re here to help you out,” Becca said.

“Help me out?” Skinny said. “Help me out? You’re the ones who put me in here.”

“I’m not talking about that,” Becca said.

“What are you talking about?”

“We’re going to help you get your gang out of a war they don’t want,” Becca said.

“We ain’t a gang, all right? We’re an organization.”

“Fine,” Becca said, trying her best not to roll her eyes. “We’re here to help your organization get out of a war they don’t want.”

“Oh, so you guys are losing, hunh?” Skinny said with a little grin. “How about that? You came in here to talk to me because you motherfuckers are losing.”

“Not at all,” Griz said. “By my count, we’ve killed four of your guys, put you in here and Mal’s brother in prison for life. That’s six of yours we’ve taken out.”

“Yeah, well, we put your president in a coma.”
