Quote of the Day
Yeah, he took a bullet to the back of the head. Doctors said it's either physical damage or shock of some kind.
"Kind of like that time I got kicked in the head by that goat."
Nick burst out laughing, "Yeah, kind of like that."
Kelly glanced at him, admiring his profile. He still owed Nick for that. They'd been on a mission when they'd taken cover in a gully that just happened to be sheltering several goats, including one territorial billy goat who'd taken a shot at Kelly's head. He'd woken up as they'd been carting him back to camp, and Nick had convinced him he was a Bible salesman from Oklahoma who'd gotten fresh with the livestock and paid for it with a hoof. He still had trouble looking at goats without flashes of completely unwarranted guilt.
"Asshole," Kelly muttered.
Nick very nearly giggled before he got himself under control.
