If this happens again TOMORROW when he heads out for work, he'll know not to drop his drink, but to hand it over to another person first. And maybe carry a weapon with him, but even with what went on during the giant snake event, carrying swords or axes will draw odd looks and questions that Fil was not eager to answer. He'd managed to stay under the radar from the press and the police and he'd like to stay that way.

Fil caught the two chair legs handily, one in each hand. He supposed he could use the two makeshift clubs just like an ax until he could get a real one in hand. IF he could get the King's ax off of the card. "You've done this before....during the giant snake business? Or more recent?"

Then there was no more time for chitchating because the Diamond cards were attacking.
