My words.

Do what you have to do. Flub. Its gotta be done, Flub, Clint said. Listen to your brother. Jack thought. Why couldnt he have popped off like everybody else? The old son of a bitch earned himself enough money to buy anything he wanted except a ticket out More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov of it all. We shouldnt have callaway upro

him go on like this. Flubs voice turned soft, regretful. He cant even watch the fucking Oilers. Jack wanted to get up and comfort his sons. They were thirty-seven and thirty-nine but still kids to him. He felt proud that More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov they looked like him at their age. Flub in particular looked like virginia lottery

clone. He wanted to hold them. I think we lost Cactus Jack a couple of years ago, Flub. This aint the old son of a bitch who used to cuss us out all the More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov time. Flub wiped his eyes with his sleeve and opened the briefcase. He started to water up again when callaway upro

picked up the hypodermic. With tears in his eyes he sat at his fathers side. Poor old fucker, he said. He cradled Jacks cadaverous, nearly hairless skull. Clint More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov took a chair at his brothers side and gripped Flub in the shoulder. Get it over with, Flub. Jack remembered the little Flubber taking his derby pie

in little league, swinging that bat for all he was worth. He was Jack Bonners kid, by God, and he stood More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov up there and swung the bat; he didnt Mickey Mouse around hoping to draw a walk. Jack, I know you dont understand us, but for whatever its worth Clint and I scott mckillop

we should have done this a long time ago. If you can hear us, we More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov loved you, old man. You bet, said Clint. Were sorry we made you wait, Jack, but listen to this; if we speed your parting up a little, Bonner Oil stands to clear six billion bucks over the next derby pie

years. Six billion bucks, Dad. Gonna grease a Chinks palm. Jack More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov tried to smile. His mouth opened and he made a small sound. He was proud of his sons. Thinking all the time, they were. They made every ace count, every bullet, just as hed taught them. He was so damned proud. Clint said, arsenio hall

at that, will More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov you? The old fuckers smiling. Cactus Jacks oldest son, weeping, slid the needle home, and the old man, watching the Flubber swing the bat at six billion bucks, died happy. When Lucien Salvant returned to Quantrell College, the death of Cactus Jack Bonner was in the national More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov spotlight together with all shanty creek

of speculation about his will. At the request of Flub and Clint Bonner, the will was temporarily being held in camera by a judge. In announcing the decision, the judge stressed that the reason did not involve a challenge of the More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov will. No challenge? Well, what was it, then? This guaranteed even callaway upro

airtime. The television networks were eager to report the embarrassing details of the Bonner fortune. Were they or were they not richer than the Hunts or the Murohisons? Not having anything concrete, reporters began to speculate. More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov Had one of Jacks many affairs caught up with his sons? Was there in fact some shanty creek

of legal challenge being mounted on the fortune? Salvant regarded the mass media as public theater. In choosing what war, plague, or ribbon-cutting to feature, city editors and television assignment More Page More Page More Page Cdcgov editors were in fact authors of a never-ending script. Artistically, the result was a melange, rather like a circus presided over by shanty creek

singers, goons, and.
