He remembered the fight, the briefcase, and the feeling of his world spinning out of control.
"Fuck," he muttered, as he hauled himself to his feet. Again, he was surprised to find that he felt no pain, no ache, no soreness. It was as if his body had been restored to its optimal state, leaving him feeling eerily numb.
