U is for UNDERWORLD GROTESQUE
He didn’t use no stoolies, this
guy. Word on the street is he’s paid double—sometimes triple what the other
trail guys get. He’s got a natural gift for picking up a scent, see. His
nickname’s The Schnoz. He turned a defect into a goldmine, he did. His real
name? No matter. No one’s used it for so long, kind of like a ghost that might
haunt his mailbox on occasion, that’s all. Ain’t no one who used it to his face
lived long enough to pass it on anyhow.
Most guys got a head they work for.
Not The Schnoz; he’s strictly freelance. And he always gets his guy. So, buddy,
if you says this guy is on your dust, I’d find a nice plane to jump outta,
somewhere between here and Hong Kong, and maybe, you don’t die in the fall, you
could be safe for a few years.
