Beakers ‘One-Cheek-Sneak’

Interview with Solomon Turner — Manager of Wells Biker Boys Messenger Service, District 20

So what’s his secret? What’s his background?   No idea how he does it. He came out of nowhere and saved my business. Sure, he showed up to make himself some coin, but he’s done good for all the lower district flunkies like us. He saved every single one of my messengers, by securing their jobs. Made a lot of friends too.   How did a food truck chef save messenger jobs?   Do you know what it takes to weave in and out of traffic, on a cycle, with no engine? Oh, I always had a measure of confidence in my boys — but now we can take the bigger contracts —cause they can cover the distance.   They’re beaten’ the professional runners now. Those fat boys sitting in their fancy delivery vehicles?   My team now have the juice to slide down railings, sprint over tape-lines and barriers locking out competitors in traffic jams.   Do you think it’s drugs? Putting something in the food he’s serving?   Don’t talk smack, girl, or we’re done. I ain’t gonna squeal on that kid, even if he was walking the line. But you meet him, just have one conversation while orderin’ food and you’ll see.   Oh, some folks around here look down on Beaker, but he's a good kid. Quite clever, actually. But when it comes to food? That boy is as clever as they come. Fingers work magic, flipping those spatulas like some kind of circus entertainer.   …and I don't know what he calls those spices, but whatever he puts on those eggs, they’ll keeps ya up at night if ya ain't careful.   Good news is, each one of my messengers has the energy to cover 3 to 4 districts before they run out of gas. That's some serious energy there.   Any drawbacks from what you’ve seen? As in side-effects?   Naw. Well, unless ya call ‘tootin’ a bit too much a side-effect. Sure, it stinks like a cat with an open bout of twitch worm, but who ain’t had a bad experience with a bowl of chili, right?   It’s why the dish is called, Beakers ‘One-Cheek-Sneak’
