Day Of The Lizards


When I was a rookie I worked with the legendary Rex Rabbit, and no one was ever more conscious of being green then I was.  One hot day we had warrants to serve on the Lizardo brothers, and things went south real quick.  Larry Lizardo pulled a gun at the same time that Louis knocked mine out of my hand.  Rex killed Larry but before he could shoot Louis I had a stalk to that lizard's head and pinned his arm down with my foot.  It seems that we had interrupted the Lizardo's in their Chlorocontin business, they were stepping on that poison with milkweed sap when we hove into view.  After we brought in Louis the chief gave us both a commendation, although we knew the chloro was being distributed nobody had any idea who was behind the operation.  I was sick as only a newbie can get over losing my gun, but that night in the bar Rex patted my back and said,'You did good out there today, kid'.  He ordered two more.  'Real good'.  Rex was later killed by a water rat he was trying to bring in on a kiddie porn beef, we iced the guy while he was trying to escape but that didn't bring Rex back.  I will always remember those words,  I - did -  good.  That was the day I knew that I was going to fit right in with Pond Patrol.
