Dum Vivam

     Sergeant Caspian stood in the kitchen of Goldie’s Revenge arguing with the bar owner as blocked the doorway to the basement stairs. The woman stared up at him, shoving her forefinger into his chest. “I know what I heard. And, I’m telling you, it’s going to stop right here and now.” She shoved the point of her half-inch fingernail into his sternum. He grabbed her finger and held it in place. She struggled to pull it back, “let me go.”
     “Ma’am. You will stop,” he practically threw her hand away.
     “I don’t care who’s down there. This is my bar. Not a torture chamber. Either you go down and put an end to it or I will.”
     “My orders are clear. Back away from the door now, ma’am,” Sergeant Caspian ordered, his body tensed.
