*I sit, tied in a chair, unharmed. Ronnie paces in front of me.* "Look, Ray. We need to get something straight; Bull owed me money. He's dead, and your the only one who can deliver. I'm giving you five days. Each day you don't deliver, I'll take a finger from your right paw. Do you understand?" *I look up at him, nodding fearfully. He smiles.* "And you know how the Society feels about being on time, so we're starting today." *He walks over to me, and removes my right ring finger, all the way to the knuckle. I cry out, but Ronnie puts his massive hand over my mouth. After a few moments, I stop. He nods, and two Society members, one man and one woman, untie me and throw me out the door. I lay in the dirt, clutching my paw. Ronnie chuckles, as the board the van, and speed off.*
