- ‘What about Ronny O’Toole?’
‘What about him.?’
‘Is he in line for the throne?’
Collier curled his lip. ‘Wouldn’t say so. He’s too dumb and Harry’s too smart. You need brains to run an empire. Mind you, he’s probably dumb enough to try.
‘By the way, where did you get the name Ronny O’Toole from? He hasn’t used that name for years.’
‘What name is he using?’
‘Several. The one for which he’s best known is Johnny the Jumper.’
I shuddered involuntarily and tucked my legs under the chair. Everyone
did when they found out what Johnny the Jumper’s favourite party trick
was.
Other henchmen simply shot their victims, or beat them to a pulp. Johnny
broke their legs. The kitchen was his favourite spot. He used two chairs.
He’d sit them on one chair and tie their legs to the other. Then he’d get up
on the kitchen table and jump. Onto their legs.
I felt sick, the sick feeling you get when you hear an urban myth. And
sicker. Because this man roamed the streets. Some of the time, it seemed,
after ME.
