#449 Kid's Last Fight- Eddie Muller
Three paths converge one day. Danh, a lowlife thief with a
fantasy about cutting a woman’s ring finger off and tossing it on a bar to pay
for a round of drinks—Hannah, the woman he tries this gruesome attack on—and
Bud Callum, a washed-up boxer that saves the day.
“My lucky day…at precisely the right moment, this guy came
into my life.”
Bud is addled from years of head trauma, so when Hannah
offers him a ride and a conversation, there is a lot of confusion. But he did
save her life and she is more than happy to hear his rambling tales of his
boxing hey-day. But no good deed goes unpunished. Somehow the thief that got a
beating comes out of this the best. At least he knew where the beating came
from.
