Pull Quotes
Rush straightens up, tries to suck in his gut, ineffectually plays with his hair and beard. Tries to choke back self-doubt. Sighs. Tries to look just right, not too much smile, not too much pout. Both make him look cheesy. Blinks the selfie icon. The countdown. 3 2 “Jesus Christ CODE RED CODE RED WE’VE GOT A BODY IN THE RESTROOM WITH LIVE SPEX,” the mirror yells at him. 1 The artificial shutter sound, a quick preview flash of his terrified face. “REQUEST IMMEDIATE BACKUP, REPEAT, IMMEDIATE BACKUP TO THE HOLDING AREA BATHROOM,” bellows the mirror. Rush thinks he might have shit himself. The guard comes through the door, all dark blue uniform and Oakley spex and something that Rush can’t decide is a truncheon or a baseball bat. “TAKE THE FUCKING SPEX OFF AND DROP THEM TO THE FLOOR DROP THEM NOW.” The spex clatter on the floor as they hit.
