"Business is about to pick up"


###

“Now listen closely,” The Boss continued.

“We’re listen’in, Boss,” The Rustler said.

“I know we’ve been lying low lately … but business is about to pick up.”
Powder Keg pounded his fist into his hand. “Sounds good to me—now you’re talkin’.”

“And the first order of business is, we have a chance to flatten our largest obstacle.”

“Captain Olympia?” said Ragnar the Red.

“The Machine Ranger?” The Rustler said.

“Yes.”

“Isn’t that two obstacles, Boss?” asked Powder Keg.

Obstacles, then.  It’s the FLATTENING of them … THAT is the important part, you see.  If we can eliminate those two despicable vermin … then we’ll own the city.”

“But Boss,” The Rustler said. “Don’t we already own the city?”

“A fair enough point.  Think of it this way: right now, we hold the city in our hands.  Once we eliminate those two, we’ll own it lock, stock, and barrel … nobody will be able to touch us.  No law enforcement … no nothing.”

“The Boss is right,” Powder Keg said, “that does sound better.”

“You think?” said Ragnar the Red. “Of course it’s better.”

“And once we own the city … we’ll expand throughout the country … and from there … THE WORLD!”
The villains clapped their hands and cheered.


“Thank you,” The Boss said. “You’re too kind.  Now knock that off, and let me tell you how we’re going to do it.”
