...while he parked his motorcycle wondering what in hell he had on his mind. Any way I was ready for anything. He came back and says 'Got fifty?'. I reached in my pocket and took out a roll and handed him over fifty. 'That just about cleans me', I said. 'You see I'm new at the game, just started last week'.
