Spare

"Hello?!" Coal Bone's eyes met abandoned tables.


A sharp inhale.

A thud from behind the bar.

No sound.


Twice the amount of time to come.

Thanks to his predecessor who hadn't gone

without leaving a "nice surprise", Crooked Smile was now walking 

with a limp like a wounded fox.

But if he saw the doc...

No! He didn't want to admit

where Hunter hid his second bat.


Coal Bone, being good at waiting,

grabbed the next chair in reach.

"Leech!" Crooked Smile couldn't help to think

while approaching.

"Pick whatever you want, Coal Bone grunted, just get me a drink! That's your damn job!"


Lovely. Another resolute customer in time.

"Dear, don't you think, you're... putting here your life on the line?" 

Crooked Smile asked, determined, not to listen when Coal Bone 

would start to unburden his heart.


To ponder any longer, Coal Bone lacked the zeal;

meanwhile, in the backroom, Smartie enjoyed his wooden meal.
