“We Have The Pig”

A cryptic note in this afternoon’s mailbag:

We have your pig. The ransom: good cheese. Two wheels of good cheese. Do not contact the authorities or the pig gets it. Do not contact Urban Diner or the pig gets it. Come alone. Drop point is #1 West Cordova (NOT Boneta.) You have until midnight Saturday.

I’m pretty sure that that’s the brass swine from Salt. Dig the masking tape blindfold.

PS. The Ali reference was in reference to the deleted spat. I’ve left it up there because it’s Ali.
