EXTRAIT
Le Maudit était mal en point.
Bien que l’expression soit grossière, il fallait reconnaître qu’il s’était fait «défoncer l. a. gueule». Le Mexicain ne l’avait pas raté. Lucas était avachi sur une chaise en fer dans un coin du vestiaire auquel il avait droit. Au plafond, pas de ventilateur, juste un néon crasseux où agonisait une bonne centaine de moucherons. L’air était moite, avec l’odeur rance des gars qui étaient revenus dans cette pièce, comme Lucas, allongés sur une civière, le corps marbré de coups. Sur le sol, des taches pas nettes faisaient penser à du sang – l’encre des contrats pour les combats – et au milieu de los angeles pièce : los angeles grande desk luisante de gras où on tapait l. a. tequila lors des victoires et où on allongeait le vaincu lors des défaites par KO.
