Chapter 25I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. Among other things going through my head, Guzman's words kept coming back to me. “You don't scare me Viejo.” And then the stuff I read on the self-defence, martial arts and street fighting web sites flashed around. “How to throw a punch, how to take a punch without getting hurt, how to use your opponent's momentum to get him off balance, how to kick someone, how to avoid a kick, and my favorite, how to talk your way out of a fight. I didn't think that would work in this case. I decided I had been educated enough. I was being extra vigilant and on the lookout for Guzman so, in the event of a confrontation, it should not be a surprise. I would leave the rest up to my instincts and Lady-luck.
