Vin was on the ground panting furiously,his back propped against a car.His stomach in immense pain.It was carrying a bullet fired seconds ago by Ken's revolver.Vin grit his teeth,trying to tune out the pain.
Ken smiled as he pointed his gun at Vin's head."What?No last wise-cracks?"
The pain was blurring his vision.Vin just managed to look straight into Ken's eyes.
"I told you you were gonna regret leaving the bar,"Ken said with diabolical relish as his fingers prepared to squeeze the trigger.
Three minutes ago
"You are gonna regret not just enduring the boredom at the bar,"Ken said as his right fist flew towards Vin's face.
Vin ducked the blow and jumped towards Ken,intending to tackle him to the ground.Unfortunately,he wasn't fast enough and Ken rising knee caught him squarely in his chin. Simultaneously,Ken brought down a mighty blow with his elbow on the back of Vin's head.Vin's skull seemed about to burst from the trauma, while Ken grabbed hold of his throat and pressed it hard enough to make him choke.The enraged officer then encircled his huge arms around Vin's body,trapping his hands,and squeezed him with all the juice in his biceps.Ken's hands were locked behind Vin's back and he pressed his forehead into Vin's sternum like an angry bull.He simultaneously pulled his locked hands inwards towards himself.Vin shut his eyelids shut from the torture and pressure being exerted onto his chest.Ken was hurting the shit out of the bones and muscles on his back as well as forcing the air out of his lungs.
"War hero,huh?"Ken growled with an animalistic amusement."Frankly speaking,I am a bit underwhelmed."
Vin opened his eyes and looked over Ken's massive shoulders to see Jill's body lying unconscious on the floor several feet away.Something about her lying prostrate and defenseless reminded him too much of the Iraqi girl he couldn't save five years ago.There was this strange sense of deja vu which he couldn't shake off.
His arms were pinned to his body and useless now.Vin pulled back as much as he could in Ken's painful bear hug,and smashed his head against Ken's with all the strength his back muscles could muster.
An agonizing torment exploded in his head as his vision became totally black for a couple of seconds.Ken screamed aloud from the affliction Vin had just subjected him to.He let go of Vin and staggered back a few steps.But his gigantic body recovered amazingly quickly and he lunged towards Vin again,grabbing him by the neck and shoving him backwards until his back collided with the side of a car.
"You are an annoying prick!You know that?!" Ken spat out at Vin as he brought his face to bear down just inches away from Vin's.
"Oh,I just have a habit of getting on people's nerves," Vin smirked and started jabbing at all of Ken's pain-sensitive nerve-centers within his reach.Ken's face twisted in a paroxysm of pain.His grip on Vin's neck weakened and Vin seized the chance to push Ken away.
Ken slided backwards and as he came to a stop,he immediately withdrew his pistol from his holster and aimed it at his opponent.
"Fuck you,ass-hole,"Ken grit his teeth and pulled the trigger.
Vin cried out as the bullet pierced his stomach and he slumped to the ground.
Ken aimed his gun at Vin's head and sneered,"What?No more wise-cracks?"
Vin looked up to meet Ken's gaze.As he started squeezing on the trigger,Ken lipped,"I told you you were gonna regret leaving the bar."
There was a dull thud.
Of metal meeting skull.
And Ken's blacked out body collapsed on to the floor.
Marlowe stood over him with his metal suitcase clutched in his hands,ready to strike again should the situation warrant it.He looked at the gun for a moment and kicked it away from Ken's benumbed hands.
His forehead still bleeding,he walked over clumsily to Vin and plopped down beside him.
"Woah!What do you know?Bailed out by my lawyer twice the same day,"Vin said,breathing heavily."Looks like I gotta raise your fees."
Marlowe was breathing heavily too."Well frankly,Mr.Kent,"he spoke between gasps,"I am a bit overwhelmed.You coming to our help like that.Really heroic."
Vin struggled and managed to say,"Ken was underwhelmed.You are overwhelmed.Why can't anyone be just... whelmed?"
Marlowe said something in return,but Vin could not make out what.A dull blackness spread through his eyes.Before he passed out,he looked one last time at Jill.
Barbie!He thought.Ken and Barbie.Vin and Barbie sound way cuter though.
