Five-Minute fiction - 23:43-23:48
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, Grim said raising his hands.
The policeman stepped forward and Grim felt his eyes drawn inexorably toward the yawning mouth of the pistols barrel. Thankfully, the mans hand was steady as twitchy policemen with guns made everyone involved nervous. Grim tried to smile, he had one of those winning smiles you often read about in books, but it seemed to not be willing to come out and join the party.
I think you know precisely what Im talking about, the man said. He pressed the barrel to the underside of Grims nose.
He could feel the cold steel ring press hard into his flesh and he tried to resist the urge to jerk his head away, that would probably cause him to be shot, rather than save him from it. He tried the smile again, but it steadfastly refused to make an appearance. Not that he was even sure it would work on the policemen. It was a tool best used for charming ladies and distracting gentlemen.
