“Don't take me back to the J. Edgar Hoover Building, Fox!” she raved. “The Smoking Man will be waiting! And the Washington Field office? Forget it!””
Murtz let out a long, frustrated sigh.
“They were these two big fat redneck men! They put the fish in my pussy and made me vomit into pie tins!”
Murtz couldn’t help but shake his head.
This would be hours processing and writing up. By the time he got to the party, the whores would be long gone.
Sometimes duty called in strange ways.
“Just simmer down, miss,” he said. “I’ll have you to the hospital real soon.”
“Oh, thank you, thank you, Fox! Then you can call Scully! She can get this fish out of my pussy!”
He headed back out toward 101. But then—
“Fox, the Smoking Man isn’t really your father, is he?”
—he got an idea.
“You’re my hero, Fox!” she gushed. “You saved me!”
Murtz pulled over onto the shoulder and stopped. He got out, dragged the stinky girl from the car, then propped her up in front of him, his hand braced under her jaw.
“Fuh-Fox? What are you doing?”
Murtz fired one semi-jacketed wadcutter from his .357 service revolver directly into the center of her forehead.
His heels jumped of the ground at the bang—the first time he’d discharged his gun in the line of duty. The girl’s brains launched out the back of her head in a fascinating arc of chunky pale-red mush.
Then her body collapsed down into a weedy ravine.
Murtz reholstered his service piece; he stalked back to the car. He didn’t notice that she’d landed spread- legged in the ravine, nor did he notice the tail of a Rainbow Trout sticking out from between metal staples in her labia.
The constable drove off.
Now he’d get to the bachelor party
