From the introduction: YOUR DREAMS FADE SLOWLY AS YOU AWAKEN "It's a good thing I found you first. Those vultures would have decapped you and stuck you in a clunker before stopping to check for a pulse. And then good luck paying that debt off let me tell you..." The voice fades in and out with the pounding pain in your head and lower body. From what understanding comes so soon after waking, you’re probably damned lucky you still feel pain. A dull pressure and sharp pinch against your arm, and waves of chemical well-being wash the agony away.
