Bullets & Belladonna There are people I would take a bullet for and people I would like to put a bullet in.
The trouble with these sort of questions is that there is always someone, somewhere, that would use my words against me. Believe me, there is neither paranoia nor ego involved with this point of view. I do have my share of rivals and adversaries, as does anyone in a position of power and authority. It comes with the territory.
Now to answer the question set before me Yes, there are/have been a select few that I will/would have taken a bullet for over the centuries. It is a short list, but that is part of its charm.
The list of those I'd like to put a bullet in is, unsurprisingly, much longer. Although, to be perfectly honest, it would more likely be poison that I would use and not a bullet. It's neater, cleaner... and not quite so obvious.
