In Mexico City, a furtive figure ran through the rain and jumped into a taxi.

"Off duty!" the cabbie said.

Oh, senor, I don't think so." The sound of a pistol being cocked punctuated the night.

"You got it, boss! Where to?"

"Wherever it is that you need to take me."

"Que?"

"Let us not play games. I wish to see the Taxi Boss and you are going to take me. If he tries to blame you for that, you can always say that I held a gun to your head. Which I am doing."

"I could get shot for doing that!"

"And you will get shot for not doing it. Your choice, really."

The car started and sped off into the night.

By the side of the road, two small, brown dogs sat and watched the car drive off.

"So, George, you gonna chase after it?"

"Naw. I caught one once and I didn't know what to do with it."

""I've never really seen the point, either. You suppose we should report in?"

"Yeah. That particular group horning in on the Taxi Drivers is something that The Friend needs to take notice of..."
