Just out of hospital and I can still taste the Clyde. I am on a course of antibiotics that would protect an army in Zaire. The doctor said it was precautionary. Given the shit in my mouth I reckon it is a fucking necessity.
The police were hardly fazed by my dip. Once I told them where I stayed, they assumed I was on drinks, drugs or both. Thankfully there was no deep questioning and neither of them recognised me.
There was no sign of the goons when I got out and I spent most of the time in the hospital planning a slow, and painful end to Ron’s life. At the moment my favourite is skinning alive and dipping in a tub of salt but I think I can do better. But the truth is I’m not sure it was him that grassed me up. Not sure at all.
The Credit Unions are next on my to do list. I need to go back into the breaking and entering business and that requires some serious planning.
If I’m right about the goons and the kickings then someone has it in for me and I suspect that the key is all part of it — but I may be wrong.
I’ll have to case all three Credit Unions and suss out the best way in. Priority one is a new toolkit. One that allows for contingencies. The days of a stethoscope and sandpaper for your finger tips may be long gone but a decent toolkit will still suffice for most needs. The only problem with that is the price tag. I need cash and then I need to find a source for the kit.
Cash first.
My options are as follows:
Mugging — but I’m out of practice and anyway some of the people you think are fat, lazy or defenceless aren’t, and some people are just penniless. Anyway who can go mugging with a buggered wrist? So that’s out.
A little bit of armed robbery — pick a corner store and a weapon and we are away. Problem is I don’t have a weapon and you really need a gun to do a shop job justice. A gun will cost more than a tool kit — so that’s out.
Housebreaking — a racing favourite at the moment. Back to school for me. The right house and I can purchase a small lock pick kit and it’s time to roll.
