3db0ba1 He's dead: Internal bleeding. When they opened him up they found a toothbrush shiv lodged in the anal cavity.

e4bf64a The bag was a hybrid I had picked up at a store called Suitcase City while I was plotting my comeback. [...] It had a logo on it -- a mountain ridgeline with the words "Suitcase City" printed across it like the Hollywood sign.
