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.
