Summary

An Italian-American moster and a member of the yakuza form an alliance.

Thinking back now, I remember it in slow motion, like when the film gets caught in the projector at the pictures and everything spins down until Greta Garbo moves like she's underwater and sounds like a foghorn speaking Swiss. But at the time, it went so fast that the only real, conscious thought my brain got off was what the hell is Bruno Battaglio smiling about? Then the pistols started shattering the glassware above the bar, and I grabbed Ken's tie, and we hit the floor hard.

Author's Notes

Given that this entire story was inspired by an episode of the Deadliest Warrior, historical accuracy was not paramount. In fact, it was almost entirely beside the point.

The author knows that 'Swiss' is not a language.
