Opening Lines:
Chester the Jester cocked his head to one side, and the bells on his tasseled hat jingled in the cold night air. A puff of surprise came out of his mouth, but his thumb didn't waver from the orange button on the detonator. His barest twitch could set off the explosives packed like bats on the underside of the bridge. The Black Vulture felt grim satisfaction to have caught his old nemesis off guard. He repeated his offer. "Don't look so confused, Chester. I give you my word. Turn yourself in, and I'll retire. I'll hang up the cape." |
