“Dang kids! Stop calling me!”

You hear someone entering the bar.

You creep into the kitchen, and lean your head out the door.  
You see a man in a suit sitting at the bar. On top of the bar is his briefcase, with a large yellow envelope on top.  
You slip on a puddle of water, and fall on the ground, with a loud enough noise to draw the attention of the suited man.  
“Ralph McKenzie?” he asks.  
Just then another man, who looks to be of Columbian descent enters the bar, also dressed in a suit, and firmly gripping a crow bar.  
“Where is the fucking brick?” he says in a thick accent.

You throw the moldy cheese at the Columbian Crow Bar (CCB). He proceeds to beat you with the crowbar for a few minutes until you apologize. You have shattered tibias.  
As you’re explaining that you need to go somewhere to get it, he takes a sudden interest in your damp gym bag. “What’s in the bag?” The man in the suit appears shaken, and leaves in a hurry, leaving the yellow envelope behind.

You crawl to the bar, and hoist yourself up on a stool, and look at the envelope. It is blank on the outside.  
“What is in the bag, Ralphie?” asks CCG.  
You open the envelope.  
CCG picks the bag up, and opens it.  
The envelope contains a court summons. You are being sued by an employee “Alice Smith” for sexual harrasment.  
CCG retrieves a brick (of cocaine) from your bag, drops the bag and runs out of the bar.  
You crawl back to the office, dial 911, ask for an ambulance, then pass out.

When you awake, you are in a hospital bed with two casts on your legs. There is a nurse here. She is asking about insurance.

“Mr. McKenzie, selling body parts is illegal in this state.”  
You attempt to examine your scrotum, but it is buried under numerous layers of hospital blankets. Plus, there is a lady present.
