About the Writer
Scott Wauchope can’t stop making sh** up. Every day something he sees or experiences makes some collection of neurons in his brain go aflutter with electricity and he begins obsessing over a random character, story, or bit of dialogue that won’t go away until he writes it down. Now, he must share these things with you, whether you like it or not.
Book 1 – Act 1 – Chapter 3: “OPERATION CHIMERA” (Part 4)
“Pete, no!” And the bearded man decked me from behind. I landed on the dance floor on my stomach, him on top of me, punching me in the back and neck. There was a pause as Mitch punched the guy and then Mitch was distracted by the girl in the pink hat hitting him with a beer glass.
“Bitch!” Mitch yelled and then slapped her across the face. The bearded man jumped off of me.
“You fuck! I’m gonna kill you!” The bearded man said as he brandished a knife from under his shirt.
“Don’t move!” a voice yelled. I was shaky as hell and trying to get up.
“Drop the knife … right now.” the voice said.
I looked up and saw one of the police officers was a woman, holding a pistol on the man. I heard a clank as he dropped the knife.
“Lie down on the ground, right now!” She yelled at him.
He began to get down as the girl with the pink hat started to move towards the officer. “It wasn’t his fault, they-”
“You too, honey!” The officer yelled.
“Awww … maaaan.” The girl said as she sighed and began to lie down.
“Are you okay?” The officer said as she looked down at me. I looked up at her and tried to smile. She was one of the prettiest cops I’d ever seen.
