Curly hoisted the other two girls up and shoved them towards Maddy’s Office “I never get to say hi when we have company” he muttered as he hustled the girls out “Just so you ladies understand, if you scream, you’ll only get some poor sap killed. Think of their families, and the injustice you’d done them. It would be a damn shame” he shook his head as he went, but the chuckle was dark, and his limp was almost gone. Curly was getting back to himself after a brief break from Suzie Q’s performance of the Nutcracker.<em>’Oooh, yeah…and she’s going to pay good and hard for that’</em>he thought with an ear to ear smile.
