Missed Punishment

As I walked into Neil's pawn shop this afternoon, I noticed that he still had a Glock for $419, but several of the other handguns that had been in his case were gone. I broke out my wallet to place some more money on my SW1911 and get ahead of the curve on picking it up. I put $340 on it. Next payment due in November.

Neil smiled, and told me I had missed the prize he placed on the shelf this morning. "A Kimber Custom II. Didn't last two hours. It had those Punisher skull grips," he said proudly.

I tried to look disappointed. I didn't tell him I would likely have passed anyway. I don't care for the Series II Kimbers, and I would not want comic book grips. Unless of course, they were Shang Chi grips.
