The bullet panging over my head pulled me back from admiring the rigid organization of the shipping container stacks. I glanced over my cover, a couple of wooden boxes that wouldn't help as much as a pillow with the irons the two grey shapes in the fog were pointing in my direction. That was twelve. Unless they were using 8-shot revolvers, that meant they were out and I could make my move... but the part of me that dealt with strict organization and certainties wouldn't let me budge. "ARE YOU USING 6-SHOT OR 8-SHOT REVOLVERS?" I called out over my cheap wooden shield. All I heard back was quick, harsh whispers in the fog. "PLEASE SPEAK UP AND ANSWER MY QUESTION, IT'S VERY, VERY RUDE TO NOT RESPOND TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY'VE ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" I yelled in frustration. Silence was my response. I sighed heavily. With no other options, I unsheathed my sword from its scabbard beneath my well-worn trench coat. Roughly 35' between the grey shapes and I. If I took out Left with a cross-arm stroke leveled at his flank, Right might retreat. I thought of my ancestors, and with considerable effort I rose to my feet. I barreled over the wooden boxes and began my charge, the sword held upright and close to my head, not unlike the samurai of legend. They had 8-shot revolvers.

Incidentally I've been reading Hammett and Chandler all summer while watching HBO's Philip Marlowe, PI from 1986 and have a Noir Detective thread in TBB. Pours some 'Dew from the office bottle.

He struck a match on his tumbnail and held it to his gold-tipped European cigarette. "Got an answer for everything, don't ya, Sam?" I didn't say anything, I just plucked the cigarette out of his mouth and slapped him on his nose. "SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU." I said calmly yet clearly. I ignored his protests as I went into the kitchen and held the cigarette under the tap to make sure it was out. 10% of house fires are caused by unattended candles or cigarettes, and I don't take chances.
