Having failed at collecting money for Kyle, John faces a choice: either accept a second chance at enforcing for the bookie, or face the losing end of a semi-automatic.
Fresh from botching yet another criminal assignment, John returns to The Bottom Shelf to apologize to his bookmaker boss, Kyle. But Kyle has something entirely different on his mind...
At The Bottom Shelf, John drinks and broods over his life's disappointments. Kyle points out that John has stopped stalking his wife, and is now at least taking his licks like a man.
