I grunted as I hauled the last box of Tide for the day over to the dock. Jason was there, waiting to take it from me and stack it in the back of the delivery truck. Or he would be if he were n't so absorbed with playing 2048. 
 
 `` Jesus, dude,'' I said. `` Put the goddamn phone down.'' 
 
 He held up a finger and muttered, `` I've got a 1024 and a 512. Almost done... `` 
 
 `` What the fuck,'' I said, and turned, looking for Freddy, the manager. He was reading something on his phone on the far end of the staging area. `` Freddy!'' I called. `` Can you get over here and deal with this guy, please?'' 
 
 He held up a finger just as I felt something in my back give. Actinic pain shot up my spine and I threw up while I went down. The box hit the floor along with the side of my head, and I felt something *crack*. I could feel a warm wetness saturating my hair. Dimly, I heard Jason and Freddy shouting and running over to me. 
 
 `` Ca n't... ca n't move my legs,'' I said stupidly. 
 
 `` Jesus Christ, Bobby,'' Ed said. `` This Tide shit's leaking. It's coming out of your pay. So's the cleaning bill.'' 
 
 `` That was some funny shit, though,'' Jason said. `` Wish I'd gotten a video.'' 
 
 They laughed.
