Also Bay Rum. Al's eyes were still closed when the first bullet made a hole in his pudgy left hand. Both gunmen fired at him. Another slug went through Al's clothes, made him jump as though he had been hit with a baseball bat, and bloodied the soft, warm, white, middle-aged flesh of his right side.
