Latest from the Janitors, Asps, and Other Books - Toboggan (Janitors Series) - Bad guys fighting snowstorm.

Today’s excerpt is from Toboggan, Book #4 of the nine-book Janitors Series.  The two New York hoods are fighting the snow and each other as they get ready to up the hill in the snowstorm…while the good guys are coming downhill.  Enjoy and have a wonderful day.

Tony and Frank woke up, and both were in a foul mood.  Frank said, “Tony, I gotta eat.”
“Dammit, Frank.  Why don’t you just kill me and eat my ass.”
“Dat not a bad idea.  Ya ready to go to da lodge?”
“Oh, hell, Frank, let’s go.”
“We not quit taday.”
“No, Frank.  We have to make it today.  I don’t think either of us can go much longer without food.  We either make it today or die trying.”
Without further comment, Frank led the way.  In spite of all the new snow, they could still see the indentations where they had been the day before and Frank plowed ahead, with Tony following.  They were so weakened from a lack of food that it was all they could do to put one foot in front of the other one.  Tony, who was carrying the shotgun, thought on more than one occasion to just toss it.  Some inner dread of being unarmed forced him to clutch it with the remaining strength he had.
Frank was like a man possessed and he forced himself to ignore his hunger, weakness from lack of food, and the struggle to forge through the snow.  Tony, on the other hand, was having a very difficult time keeping up.  Several times, he called a halt.  Each time he did, Frank’s ire increased, but even Frank had to admit that the rest felt good.
