| KID: | I don't know how that got there. Someone must have put it on me. |
| CLERK: | Look, I got the CD back so I won't call the cops. But I don't ever want to see you in here again. |
|
| The kid ran out of the store. The clerk shook my hand. |
| CLERK: | Thanks, man, I really appreciate it. Hey, weren't you looking for Rikk? That's him right behind you. |
| I turned around and nearly ran out of the store myself. I was expecting the long black hair, the two tattoos, the ring in his nose.. |
