Ray reaches down to the floor and comes back up with a rubber mallet. “Now what the hell is this for?”

Vic doesn’t say anything.

“Ain’t gonna’ fix much in the engine with this kind of hammer, you know.”

“Uh. Yep. It’s for security.”

“You gonna’ clobber somebody with this thing?”

“If necessary.”

“You ain’t gonna’ hurt anybody hittin’ ’em with this.”

“You could kill somebody with that.”

“You could knock ’em out.”

“And then you keep hittin’ ’em a few times.”

“A few times, huh?”

“Trust me, I’m a professional.”

“Yeah, you’re a professional, all right.”
