The guy backed into Harry, stumbling drunkenly in the other direction. He was twice Harry’s weight, and the skinny teenager stumbled and bashed his hip on a concrete trash can.

‘Are you blind?’ the big golfer roared.

Harry reared up, way bolder than if there hadn’t been a pint of Jack Daniels in his bloodstream. ‘I’m not the brain-dead moron walking out of a restaurant backwards,’ he shouted back.

The guy had psycho eyes and bunched his enormous fists. Fear sobered Harry up as he backed towards the restaurant’s plate-glass window, with diners inside looking his way. Harry put his hands over his face, but the guy punched him ruthlessly in the side of the head. As Harry slammed into the glass, a left hook smashed his face.

‘Any more names you wanna call me?’ the guy roared.

FRIDAY’S HOT STORIES

WORLD NEWS – West backs UK government stance on LHV.

At his weekly White House press briefing, President West repeated his support for the British government’s position on the London Haemorrhaging Virus.

Despite nine thousand deaths in the two weeks since the synthetically engineered Ebola-like virus first appeared in the British capital, the UK government has refused to pay the £1 billion ($1.45 billion) the MGB group has demanded for the genetic template of a full antidote.

West said, ‘The only thing more dangerous than a world filled with synthetic viruses, is a world where the people who make them can earn billions of dollars through blackmail.’

The president said sixty laboratories around the United States are working with the British on a vaccine, and that the CDC had robust systems in place for the manufacture and rapid deployment of 350 million anti-viral doses.
