Ziggy Two Step - Courier Extraordinaire Read online

Tony’s Food Shack

  It was now mid-afternoon and Tony’s always started to get busy this time of day. A lot of

  truckers and employees from Sherwood Farms would start coming in to have the specialty of

  the house - burgers and fries, along with a pint or two of the best as Tony did have a liquor

  license. Just a limited license only for beer and wine but selling them sure helped pay the

  bills.

  The cook on duty didn’t know about the roaches. It was something no one knew about except

  Tony and Tony hoped to keep it that way. It wasn’t long after the crowds started coming in,

  everyone noticed the burgers tasted different. They were a little crunchier but better tasting.

  Word quickly spread and Tony’s was busier than ever.

  Jefferson Hospital - Time 4:00 PM

  Sung Ho was wheeled out of the Recovery Room. He had suffered a broken arm and severe

  lacerations to his abdomen. No organs were damaged.

  Wung Chou was allowed to see him and was pleased to see that Sung was conscious and quite

  alert. In fact Sung was anxious and so full of energy that Wung was taken by surprise.

  “Uncle Wung, I know who delivered the bomb to our repair shop. It was Ziggy. He gave me

  the package and I put it on a table next to some other clocks that were being repaired. I

  turned away and headed back to the front of our store when all hell broke lose. There was a

  big bang, glass and wood flying everywhere. I was blown into a wall. I looked down and my

  right leg was bent all wrong and I was bleeding from some glass that flew into my stomach. It

  was me that managed to call 911.”

  “My gosh, did you tell the police?”

  “I didn’t see them. I passed out before the police arrived. I don’t remember anything else

  until I woke up from recovery.”

  Wung called Joe and told him what he had just heard. Joe remembered that Ziggy did have a

  parcel to deliver to Cosmic Clocks. Surely Ziggy didn’t switch parcels. Ziggy was never in

  trouble with the law. He wouldn’t do something like that. Still, Joe knew he had no choice

  but to contact the police.
