    About this ebook

    Rage returns home from vacation. She is still upset about a peck on her cheek Jones gave her when she left. He has not thought about it since.
    Jones has found a new chicken place to eat, The Chicken Coop. It is the cheapest around and he and Rage go there after their Saturday shooting. Rage must admit it is good. But she wonders as a farm girl, how can they sell so cheap and stay in business. Jones puts it over to gaining market share. Their prices do raise some over time.
    How can chicken production increase so fast that they forecast the need for 100 more Chicken Coop store in just months. Beyond that in months the number of stores is unbelievable.
    A shooting near a Coop goes into the cold file to be reviewed later.
    Over night the three Chicken Coop stores are bulldozed and hauled to the dump? All the employees are given eight weeks pay.
    Robbery helps solve the shooting, but Jones has no Coop to go too. Is this all there is?
